Boris Johnson kept from media in ‘ruthlessly organised’ campaign
Tory MPs ‘gobsmacked’ by lengths leadership frontrunner’s team going to in bid for support
Boris Johnson’s campaign to be Britain’s next prime minister is being ruthlessly organised, with his media appearances restricted to avoid the potential for gaffes and an orchestrated effort to lovebomb wavering MPs, according to his colleagues.
Conservative MPs say they are “gobsmacked” and “blown away” by the lengths the Johnson camp has been going to to win their support in recent weeks.
