Amber Rudd thrown out of Philip Hammond’s Remainer group after latest flip-flop on No Deal Brexit

AMBER Rudd has been thrown out of Philip Hammond’s group of 30 Remainer MPs plotting to block a No Deal after her latest Brexit flip-flop.

One insider said she could not be trusted and branded her “two-faced”.

The Work and Pensions Secretary revealed she no longer thinks a second referendum is preferable to a No Deal Brexit. On Sunday she told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: “Circumstances have changed.”

She joked she would not “lie down in front of bulldozers” to stop No Deal — in a dig at Boris Johnson’s Heathrow pledge.

Her latest flip-flop comes after she said she would now be prepared to serve in Mr Johnson’s Cabinet if he becomes the PM.

Her comments sparked “consternation” among the Chancellor’s group of 30 Tory MPs and ministers who were previously dubbed the “hair-shirt” club of Remainers.

Ms Rudd was seen in the same category as fellow Cabinet Europhiles such as Mr Hammond, David Gauke, David Lidington and Greg Clark, some of whom may sacrifice their careers to stop a No Deal.

One insider told The Sun: “Amber was part of the team pushing the Speaker and trying to find a Parliamentary and a legal solution to preventing a No Deal.

“She’s been a key driver for a long time. But we’ll phase her out as a result of her latest comments.

“How much can you trust her now she’s trying to play to both sides?”
