There is a fair bit of unease building among Tory MPs about PM trying to run the country + recover at same time - fear that if he doesn& #39;t take time to recover now he& #39;ll be ill for a lot longer - one says & #39;he might be ill for a month and that& #39;s a month the country can& #39;t afford& #39;

Another, former cabinet minister says, & #39;I think it would be better for him to take time off properly and recover fully. I wonder why this is not the public approach& #39;

Another MP says he should take some time, & #39;in the circumstances it wouldn& #39;t be weakness - we definitely need him back and on form& #39;

But another Cab minister says decision making system is working fine, covid committee structure is working well with & #39;crisp& #39; decision making - no need for a & #39;formal step back moment& #39; unless PM becomes critically ill - No 10 tightlipped about exactly what is going on
