Tensions rising tonight
One ally of Boris Johnson attacked the “grey wolf” intake from 2019 saying they are “called the grey wolves because they were not socialised in parliament during the pandemic”
This came after 20 2019 MPs met at 1pm to discuss what should happen to the PM

…. Some of these MPs wanted to move against the PM before the Sue Gray report, but several did not. Some want the cover of moving in a group, others determined to act come what may.
Most think confidence vote still after Gray reports (timing: 60% likely to be next week)

Tonight Boris Johnson is seeing at least one 2019 MP who was at lunchtime meeting (whips took names)
Many MPs tell me the whipping operation to support Boris Johnson has been half hearted and “meh”

Several MPs told me today it was the settled will of the Tory party to remove Boris Johnson
But with no agreement on how, when (one suggested next year) and most importantly who (expect a huge field inc Sunak Truss Zahawi Mordaunt & others) the future path not 100% set
