The Foreign Secretary’s fellow Vote Leave campaigners Michael Gove and Chris Grayling supported his call for the NHS to benefit from the ‘Brexit dividend’, and Health and Social Care Secretary Jeremy Hunt would also welcome extra funding. The PM’s spokesman said: “The Prime Minister and a large number of Cabinet Ministers made the point that Cabinet discussions should take place in private.”

The Prime Minister's spokesman said: “Ministers were told the health service had been place under significant pressure by the worst flu outbreak for a number of years. Liam Fox allegedly attacked the foreign secretary for making internal rows public, while Home Secretary Amber Rudd delivered the mother of all digs when she said top Tories should be able to trust on another, adding: “I’m talking to you, foreign secretary.”

Philip Hammond took a shot at Johnson for attempting to meddle in the NHS. “I gave the health secretary an extra 6 billion pounds at the recent budget and we’ll look at departmental allocations again at the spending review when that takes place.”

The row is yet another headache for May, whose weakness since losing her party’s majority at an election last June was underlined by a botched reshuffle of her top team of ministers earlier this month. He had shown “longstanding incompetence and disloyalty” and unless Mrs May acts now “Boris will bring her down”, she said.
