David Cameron says he will campaign for rebel Tory army if Boris Johnson forces them to stand as independents
David Cameron has privately told sacked Tory rebels he will campaign for them in their constituencies if Boris Johnson forces them to stand at the next Election as independents, this newspaper can reveal.
The incendiary promise – which would see a former Prime Minister actively working against his own party – comes amid a furious backlash over the publication of Mr Cameron's explosive memoirs.
Mr Cameron broke his three-year silence to speak of his regret about Brexit and to savage former colleagues Mr Johnson and Michael Gove.
Despite Mr Johnson's orders not to attack Mr Cameron, one Cabinet Minister last night told The Mail on Sunday that the former PM was 'bitter', while another questioned the logic of his Brexit remarks.
They said: 'I don't understand why he has done it. He will always be hated by Remainers and, by apologising for Brexit, he will never get credit for having being the person who enabled it.'
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Mr Cameron has personally assured some of the 21 former Tory MPs kicked out after voting against the new Prime Minister that he would help them try to keep their seats in the Commons, even if it means pounding the streets of their constituencies with them against a Tory candidate.
