The Tories are “drifting to defeat” under Rishi Sunak, former prime minister Boris Johnson claimed.
In a series of interviews with Nadine Dorries, a former cabinet minister, for her new book, he accuses Sunak of failing to offer a positive vision for the country and says he has given voters “nothing to rally behind”.
Mr Johnson, who quit as an MP rather than face the prospect of a by-election after being found to have lied to Parliament over the Partygate scandal, said he was not bitter about his downfall.“Never be bitter, no good can come from it,” he said.Mr Johnson said: “You’ve got to have an agenda for change in the country. You know, people will feel hacked off.“They voted for change in 2019 and they are drifting back to Labour in those Brexit seats because they’re not seeing a changed government.
