Housing Secretary Michael Gove discovered himself on the centre of a second day of Tory infighting this afternoon, after a senior Tory MP publicly slammed him on Twitter.

Jake Berry, a Cabinet Minister beneath Liz Truss, warned Mr Gove to spend much less time opining at a central London conservative convention, and extra time delivering on his guarantees.

Mr Gove, who has been the Secretary of State for Housing and Local Government since October, instructed the National Conservative Conference: “There simply aren’t enough homes in this country.”

He went on to assert Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had requested him “explicitly” to “look at” the lack of first-time patrons to get on the property ladder, including the Government is “absolutely committed to more houses being built”.

During Mr Gove’s time in workplace, the Conservative Government has abolished native housing constructing targets, leading to quite a few councils tearing up their housing plans.

A fed-up Mr Berry publicly repudiated him, posting: “Amen to that, if only you knew someone with the power to do something about it, @michaelgove”.

A fellow ex-Cabinet Minister from Liz Truss’s Government, Simon Clarke, instructed the Express: “It’s really welcome to hear Michael acknowledge the extent of the problem we face. At the next election, we should commit to restoring targets to hold local authorities to account to meet their assessed local housing need.”

The blue-on-blue warfare marked the second day of frayed Conservative Party tensions after Suella Braverman spoke on the similar convention yesterday and delivered a stark about immigration being too excessive.

Last night time Tory MPs spoke to the Guardian, accusing the Home Secretary of undermining Rishi Sunak’s authority, and prioritising her personal post-election management ambitions.

One Tory instructed the paper: “Rishi needs to make it clear to her that she is either a team player or a backbencher.”

A minister added: “She's not waiting for the election but is pitching for Prime Minister now. And she's not the only one. Being in the Cabinet is no longer a collective endeavour but a position to pitch for the next job.

“It would be better if she and others focused on the jobs they actually had. You would think being Home Secretary was some side hustle.”

Other Tories defended the Home Secretary’s speech, nevertheless, which included a bit defending white Britons from arguments by the Left they need to be ashamed for his or her historic function in slavery.

Deputy Tory Chair instructed the Express: “I stand by every word said by Suella. The left fear her because she is a voice of the silent majority”.

“That's why we call her Super Suella.”

On immediately’s Michael Gove row, Simon Clarke added that between now and the election, Mr Gove ought to “look at streamlining our planning system, resourcing it better and at creative solutions to incentivise communities to welcome new homes being built, as well as fixing the nutrient neutrality issue which is blocking up to 100,000 new homes which already have planning permission from being built.”

The National Conservative convention is operating all through immediately with a ultimate day of speeches tomorrow.
