Huw Merriman cast doubt on his support for the Tories after Boris Johnson's appearance at an election rally last nightJohnson stepped down as an MP in disgrace shortly before a parliamentary committee ruled he had deliberately misled the Commons over
Writing on X , he said: “Given my refusal to support this man and to then welcome a change from his leadership when the wheels of public and parliamentary tolerance finally fell off, I’m not sure how this pitches for my vote.” “Rishi Sunak has reached a desperate new low, turning to a man who discredited the office of prime minister and lied to the country time after time.”
Sunak famously helped pushed Johnson out of office over his breach of the lockdown rules and the Chris Pincher scandal back in the summer of 2022.Sunak’s resignation as Johnson’s chancellor then triggered an exodus of Tory MPs from his government.
