Daniel Kawczynski appeared to blame the media for 'hounding' Boris Johnson out of office, and Chris Pincher for 'precipitating' the end of his Government.
Daniel Kawczynski has blamed the media for Boris Johnson's departure from Downing Street
"When you remove your team captain, when you remove the leader of your party, that is a dramatic moment I think for any parliamentarian."He got us the largest majority that we’ve had since 1987. And he was implementing a real leadership on our continent, probably better than any other European leader, in terms of standing up to Russian aggression and dealing with other crises."
"Mr Pincher has let down himself, he has let down the parliamentary party, and he has contributed to the precipitation of the removal of the leader of the Conservative Party," said Mr Kawczynski. But Mark Pritchard, MP for The Wrekin, said precedent was that Mr Johnson should continue in office until a replacement had been chosen.
Telford's MP Lucy Allan said that any change in leadership in the embattled Conservative Party should require"a new mandate from the people".
