A mutiny led by 'red wall' Tory MPs elected in 2019 is said to be close to reaching the numbers required to trigger a leadership contest, sparking fury among Johnson loyalists.

"We're certainly nearly there," a Tory MP elected in 2019 told Sky News, blaming aggressive bullying tactics by government whips trying to protect the prime minister for stoking the rebellion.

Opposition to Mr Johnson is said to have hardened after what MPs described as a disastrous TV interview in which he looked haunted during a fierce interrogation on Downing Street party allegations. Furious cabinet ministers loyal to the PM described the 2019 intake's mutiny as"sickening", with one minister declaring:"They were only elected because of him. Most of them are nobodies. It's nuts."

Axing the Plan B rules is seen as one of the PM's"Operation Red Meat" measures to win back Tory support as part of a plan to save Mr Johnson's premiership which MPs are calling"Operation Save Big Dog".

The people don't want Johnson's lies anymore. We all made sacrifices. His weasel words make it worse.
