UK’s Environment Secretary Michael Gove said he “absolutely” backed Theresa May a day after several newspapers in the UK reported that ministers were plotting a coup against May to replace her with a caretaker leader.
The Times claimed Cabinet Office Minister, David Lidington, would be the likely choice to replace the PM because he is effectively her deputy. But Lidington wasn’t so sure:
“I don’t think that I have any wish to take over from the PM,” he said.
