David Davis tells Boris Johnson 'in the name of God, go' after MP for Bury South defects to Labour
Source: The Guardian
In a dramatic moment to match Christian Wakeford defecting, Tory MP and former minister David Davis has urged Boris Johnson to go.
He told Johnson he had spent weeks defending him from “angry constituents”, including by reminding them of the “successes of Brexit”.
Yesterday he did the opposite of that.
Davis then raised the roof by concluding with a quote from Leo Amery to Neville Chamberlain:
"You have sat there too long for all the good you have done. In the name of God, go.”
