Boris Johnson 'flying back to take soundings' over leadership bid

A former adviser to Boris Johnson says the former prime minister is returning from holiday to consider joining the Conservative Party leadership election race.

Will Walden, who worked as Mr Johnson's press secretary, said his former boss is unlikely to run unless he is sure he can get the support of the 100 MPs needed to make the second round.

Truss didn't replace Johnson because people thought she'd be better; she replaced him because he lied repeatedly and got caught out too many times. He resigned in disgrace. If the Tories have any integrity they will not reinstate him

[roberthayes]

Beyond belief, time for a general election ffs

[ishakkyusuf]

Politicians have taken the British public for a ride...

[willrobertsmith]

Its not a case of the national interest it is Boris' interest that counts
says it all

[jarednovel]

Boris has no shame whatsoever... that is disturbing

[henrydemonfreid]

He resigned in disgrace not even three months ago. He's already proved himself to be a treasonous leech. He doesn't deserve a zero hour contract.

[jakejansen]

Please NO. He's one of the main reasons we are in this mess with his lying party. We only want a general election

[larryboyes]

Boris has an elastic relationship with the truth?
Kind. Far too kind.

[tg]

Well the first thing he would do is have a huge party at Downing Street and order more wallpaper

[Admodeus]

I can't believe he is even an option...

[p.h.]

"An elastic relationship with the truth"... 🤣🤣🤣 Wonderful.

Bringing back a failure to replace a failure shows just what a failure that party is & anybody who still votes for them needs to wake up and realise that we are now a laughing stock of the world as we sing songs such as Rule Britannia ! and we can’t even sort out Dinghy’s in the Channel

[hughw]

He's the reason we are in this mess, WE DON'T WANT HIM BACK. General election now!!!

[neilknightley]

Uk is now a not just a clown show, it’s the entire circus

[michaelcorleone]

Not long ago everyone called for Boris to resign now all of a sudden there is a deep love and admiration for him😕

[mattydarbs]

Are they so detached from normal life that they think these type of thoughts are what we’re looking for right now!

They might as well give Prince Andrew his school governor position back.

[ianwright]

Boris the hero riding in on his charger to save us....What a laugh it would be if it wasn't so ridiculous....I'd rather give his horse a go at the job than re employ that

[vkjfv]

UK politics has more twists and turn than a soap tv show

[russellbenton]

My god . We are truly scraping the bottom of the barrel

Boris: "I never resigned, I was on sabbatical"
