Two Tory “big beasts” are launching a group campaigning for “radical” policies, amid pressure on David Cameron’s leadership.
Former frontbenchers David Davis and Liam Fox will unveil Conservative Voice, urging the party to show “serious ambition”. Although organisers insist the group will work alongside the leadership, the move comes with the Prime Minister struggling to placate Conservative traditionalists.
It emerged over the weekend that Bob Stewart, MP for Beckenham, was approached to run as a “stalking horse” candidate against Mr Cameron.
