Boris Johnson faces a leadership threat from his own MPs if he doesn't set out a path away from lockdown, a former Minister has warned.
Brexiteer Steve Baker of the lockdown-sceptic Covid Recovery Group has written to members urging them to put pressure on the Tory chief whip over the issue.
Mr Baker, who played a prominent part in Theresa May's downfall, warned that unless the issue was dealt with now it would become a matter of leadership.
