...against Ruth Davidson. We've seen grassroots Tories going after MP's such as Dominic Grieve and it would not surprise me at all if they go after Ruth Davidson for not being ideologically pure enough. It's worth remembering at this point that one of the main things they wanted from Boris Johnson was a purge of those considered "remainers" from top appointments.

The hardcore Brexshitters in the Tory Party are even worse than Momentum for internal shenanigans in the name of ideological purity to be honest.
