Brexit nightmare as NO true Leavers in line to replace Boris as PM ‘in troubled waters’

Estimated read time 2 min read


According to Camilla Tominey, associate editor at the Daily Telegraph, there is a “distinct lack of Brexiteerism in any of Boris Johnson’s potential replacements”. A recent YouGov poll revealed the top choices as a replacement for Mr Johnson were Ben Wallace, Liz Truss and Jeremy Hunt. However, the problem with these candidates is that none voted Leave.

Ms Tominey said this is a problem because “some fear that the attempted ousting of the Prime Minister is part of a Remainer plot to reverse the EU Referendum”.

It will be a struggle to find a Right-leaning Eurosceptic candidate to replace Mr Johnson.

It has now been claimed the Conservative Party will have to look towards “comeback granddads”, such as Iain Duncan Smith and David Davis to find a suitable Eurosceptic to replace Mr Johnson.

Ms Tominey also stated in her Daily Telegraph article that, “Michael Gove’s lockdown zealotry rules him out, while Mr Hunt’s successor Sajid Javid enjoys the support of just 3 percent of the membership, according to YouGov.”

“He is on probation.

“If he fails that probation, the Tory party will do what it always does with leaders who are not delivering, they will remove him.”

Referring to Mr Johnson, Lord Duncan added: “He probably is in troubled waters.

“If you can make people, almost, forget what has happened over the last few months, then he has a slim chance of carrying on.

“But I would have thought that would be very slim.”
