He's banned from the Parliamentary grounds because of what he did. He's utterly despised by most of the country.

[ThomasKing]

Please, not again. The country has been through enough.

[davidbell]

They are so out of touch, the man is hated 😂😂😂😂

[hgmet]

Haha, Tories are so desperate, they've lost their little minds. Bring back Bozo? Yes please. Maybe that'll be the final nail in the Tory coffin.

[jamesjukebox]

Monty python Britain the laughing stock of the world.

[DrMattiLabbratt]

Working in a Red Wall seat, i can tell you that he will NOT get a friendly reception

[kemback]

That they should even consider bringing him back demonstrates the level of contempt they have for the electorate.

[timq]

This is great for Labour, Boris will remind everyone of the Covid parties, lies and PPE scandals just at a time the Tories need people to forget about these things.

[DolphinDivePro]

The last throw of the dice for a party in its death throes reeks of desperation, fear and corruption

[bren]

I hope he comes to campaign in my town, I'll buy the eggs and tomatoes today so they have enough time to have fully gone bad.

[daverigby]

I'd love to see him turn up in Liverpool. The coward wouldn't even dare

[trevm]

In my neighbourhood, there is an 82yr old pearl-clutching Tory voting 'posh' woman who recently called Johnson a 'see you next Tuesday'. Says it all really!

[dub]

Further proof (as if we needed it) that the Tories have run out of ideas.

[DerrickJenkins-sc]

So de Pfeffel, the spaffer, is on the road back is he? Even with his legendary delusions and self-serving effrontery, this is beyond parody. Bring it on and see where that gets them. I'd pay to see that.

[enablerbro]

Sunak would rather anyone go out and campaign simply so that he does not have to face the public embarrassment of doing it himself. Imagine Sunak going out to meet the public around the country, at least Boris Johnson has no sense of embarrassment and will hide in a fridge if needs be.

[geoffcowen]

Please bring him back. It'll lose them so many votes, just like hanging on for an autumn election.

[stevecunningham]

Imagine Sunak and Johnson campaigning together on the election trail, it would be like Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter releasing a charity single on behalf of Barnados.

[CarlosTehJackal]

Is Sunak so delusional that he thinks Johnson can save him? That's hilarious! 😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂

[willrobertsmith]

Sunak didn't turn against Boris because he was sick of his lies and corruption. He turned on him because Boris was weak and sunak wanted his job.

[tyranitararmaldo]

Tory HQ: "Let's send the guy that killed a disproportionate number of poor people's parents to visit them for an election campaign."

What an absolute shower.
