Labour MP asks Boris Johnson how country can trust him if 148 Tory backbenchers don’t
A Labour MP has questioned how the country is expected to trust Boris Johnson when 41 per cent of the Conservative Party does not.

“If 148 of his own backbenchers don’t trust him, why on earth should the country?” she asked.
Mr Johnson responded by thanking Ms Eagle for her question and joked that his political career has “barely begun”.
