After a successful and well-received conference speech, you would think the Prime Minister would at least get a week or two to bask in her cabinet’s support. Alas, not so. Andrea Leadsom, the PM’s Leader of the Commons was on Peston last night, and had a damning lack of confidence in her boss.
Asked by Peston ‘Would you back her leading the party into the next election?’ Leadsom responded:
‘I just think politics is a short term game, a week changes a lot, I think she’s had a fantastic day today.’
“Will your party let the Theresa May be Prime Minister for the next several years?” @Peston asks @AndreaLeadsom. #Peston pic.twitter.com/rJ5Gg6CBzN
