Andrew Griffith was recently appointed as Tory Shadow Chancellor by Kemi Badenoch
Some of his back pages are known. He was one of the architects of Liz Truss’s autumn 2022 Mini-Budget.
Once she had resigned the question of who would replace her was urgent.
Anthony Seldon’s new book on Sunak at No.10 notes that several MPs were ‘egging on’ Boris Johnson to return (just months after he had resigned) ‘inspired by visions of their hero’s glorious return to power’
Among the MPs were Jacob Rees Mogg and Andrew Griffith.
Ultimately Johnson ducked a contest primarily Seldon reports because Sunak’s supporters had secured the backing of Suella Braverman. Hmmm
