The Morecambe and Lunesdale MP has publicly called for a return of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister.
Conservative David Morris made the declaration on social media, just hours after Ms Truss’ resignation speech.
In a Tweet, Mr Morris said: ‘’Boris Johnson, please come back to the UK, your country needs you!!!
‘’We need you to unite the party and bring the country together again.’’
The MP’s message hasn’t gone down well on social media, and met with hundreds of messages criticising his statement.
Ms Truss's resignation, which makes her the shortest-serving prime minister in modern British history, with all eyes now on who could replace her - with speculation mounting that Boris Johnson could launch a comeback to frontline politics, six weeks after he was officially ousted from the top job.
Mr Johnson is believed to currently be on holiday in the Dominican Republic, and has yet to publicly declare an interest.
Party rules for the leadership contest mean hopefuls need the backing of at least 100 Tory MPs by Monday afternoon to stay in the race.
Mr Morris had previously thrown his support behind Liz Truss, saying when she was elected as party leader: ‘’I look forward to working with you to unite our party, deliver Government business and deliver the Eden Project in Morecambe. You have my full support.’’
Back in June, he revealed that he had backed Mr Johnson, when he faced a vote of no confidence within his party.
He said at the time: ‘’I voted to support the Prime Minister last night and I am pleased that he won the vote of confidence, as Boris Johnson is a strong supporter of the Eden Project coming to Morecambe.’’
Beyond Radio has contacted the office of David Morris, to ask for reaction to the news of the resignation of Liz Truss, but at time of story publication we had yet to receive a response.
