TORY MPs are losing patience with Boris Johnson’s government and intend to take action when Parliament returns tomorrow, a back-bench leader has suggested.

Sir Charles Walker, vice-chairman of the 1922 committee of Conservative backbenchers, said that morale is waning due to the government’s “unsustainable” approach.

He said it was becoming increasingly difficult for Tory MPs to defend the government from criticism as public pressure repeatedly overturns its policies.
