The Prime Minister was last week criticized by a Conservative MP for withdrawing a letter in no confidence.
On Sunday, Liz Truss (MP) and Rishi Unak (Rising Stars to Replace Boris Johnson), told the Mail that they were not convinced by their promises to “level up”.
Following anger at the Prime Minister’s repeated disclosures of Downing Street party members and Government handling of scandals, the MP sent Sir Graham Brady a note.
Mail on Sunday’s MP Liz Truss (right), and Rishi Unak (left), who are the frontrunners to replace Boris Johnson were not convinced by their commitment to leveling up’.
A Tory MP advised colleagues who might be considering letters of no confidence that: “They need to be careful not to jump out of Boris’s pan and into Rishi’s free market fire.
“Rishi, Liz are showing more leg than they should. They seem to be more concerned with free markets and less investment.
“This threatens to level up for constituents if your MP is in an area deprivation.
For a confidence vote to be triggered, it takes 54 letters. A group of 2019 MPs submitted letters last week in a coordinated bid, known as the Pork Pie Plot.
However, momentum was stalled when Christian Wakeford (the former Tory MP from Bury South), defected and joined Labour.
According to reports, seven No-confidence Letters were withheld by Tory MPs.
He said that Johnson still seemed more likely to honor previous promises to his constituencies.
