Foreign Secretary will spark accusations that he is 'on manoeuvres' by seizing centre stage at Cabinet meeting.

Boris Johnson is expected to warn Theresa May that Labour will win the next election unless she injects an extra £5bn into the NHS, at a showdown Cabinet meeting.

The Foreign Secretary will spark accusations that he is “on manoeuvres” by seizing centre stage to demand the Prime Minister act on widespread calls for an immediate health service bailout.

Cabinet members will be asked to back Mr Johnson’s plea for a £100m-a-week funding increase – still far short of the £350m-a-week he promised, notoriously, during the Brexit referendum.
