Some Tory MPs 'extremely fearful' of Boris Johnson becoming PM, says Ken Clarke
The Conservative former chancellor and veteran pro-European Ken Clarke has accused Boris Johnson of not knowing what he wants, and said some Conservatives fear the idea of him being prime minister. In an interview, he said:
Some are extremely fearful about the idea that he becomes prime minister. This isn’t some TV reality show … We’re not choosing the winner of the Great [British] Bake Off – we’re talking about government and policies.
The father of the house, who supported Rory Stewart in the leadership vote today, said Johnson muddles through, often forgetting what he believes in from one day to the next.
