, potentially jeopardising the Prime Minister’s position, appeared wide of the mark. Even many former allies said they believed it was now time for Mr Johnson to leave the stage.
The ex-Prime Minister announced his resignation as MP for Uxbridge & South Ruislip on Friday night, shortly after the honours list he drew up when he left No 10 was finally published by the Government. He said was the victim of a “kangaroo court” after a draft of the privileges committee’s conclusions which would have triggered a possible by-election in his seat by recommending a punishment of more than 10 days’ suspension, the threshold for a voters’ recall petition.
Mr Adams, who quit as the MP for Selby & Ainsty on Saturday, insisted he was not part of a plot to brig down Mr Sunak. He said on Sunday evening: “I have left Parliament to return to my private sector career but I will continue to make the case for Conservative values. It is essential that the Conservatives under Rishi Sunak win the next election and I will do my utmost to ensure that happens.
But some MPs believe he may seek a fresh comeback almost immediately, by standing for re-election in Uxbridge & South Ruislip.
