Brexit: Boris Johnson 'back-seat driving' over Brexit, says Rudd

Any power struggle by Boris could result in a king without a country to rule. Boris could topple May but if he fails to deliver the NHS promise will see old Jezer in power.

George Osborne has been accused of "bitterness and bile" over his attacks on Theresa May.
Conservative backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg hit out at the former chancellor, who is now editor of the London Evening Standard, a position he has used to launch a series of blistering attacks on the Prime Minister.

Claims that Mr Osborne, who was unceremoniously sacked by Mrs May when she took office last year, is pursuing a vendetta against the PM have been further fuelled by a recent magazine profile.
The Esquire piece said Mr Osborne is reported to have told colleagues he will not rest until Mrs May is "chopped up in bags in my freezer".
