George Osborne’s allies are furious that the new Prime Minister unceremoniously sacked him, and they want revenge, apparently.

The sentiments were briefed to the The Times this morning, which reports on the reshuffle yesterday.

That wasn’t all. The Times also reports that allies of Michael Gove were angry that he was sacked for not demonstrating enough loyalty, and so were his backers such as Nicky Morgan.
