Boris Johnson: Brexit backers turn on PM as popularity spirals – ANOTHER letter in – Daily Express

There is a steady "drip-drip of no confidence" in the Prime Minister, according to a former special adviser.

Aaron Bell's vote of no confidence is "not surprising" but marks a drastic shift from his 2019 position which is significant, said Chris White.

Mr Bell was one of the MPs who strongly supported the prime minister in 2019 when he was newly elected as an MP.

Mr White said: "And so for effectively for him to lose confidence in the prime minister, I think shows a steady drip, drip of no confidence letters going in. We had other letters go in this week.

"I think the prime minister would have hoped to stem the tide of letters going in during the course of the week with some of his statements, and indeed some of the sackings or resignations, I should say, that has happened in the last 24 and 36 hours after Downing Street.

"But clearly, that doesn't seem to be the case."
