Tory MP: My inbox is full of messages of support for Boris Johnson

Veteran Conservative MP Sir Christopher Chope says there is a groundswell of support for Boris Johnson.

Sir Christopher - who supported Liz Truss - said the former prime minister would be a "real tonic" for the country.

But he warned there would need to be a general election if another candidate was elected by the Conservatives.

This is exactly why there needs to be a General Election. Large chunks of the Conservative Party Membership and the MP’s are just so completely out of touch with the population they cannot see past the end of their noses or see the reality of what is happening in the country.

I’ve thousands of emails saying I’m in line for $30, 000, 000 inheritance from a Nigeria king

Just shows a general election is needed to get Britain back on track.

I thought it was the EU that was meant to collapse after Brexit.

Oh well, I suppose if one pensioners email box (inbox) is full I guess we have no choice but to re-instate a man they have previously declared unfit for office.

Ballot box is more important than inbox .. Your dreams are man!.. next level ..

What is a "real conservative"? If Boris embodies real conservatism I'm guessing one of the values must be dishonesty.

This is an example of someone that has resulted in me and probably many others in disconnecting with parliamentary politics. he mainly focuses on the party, he doesnt care about honesty, integrity or the suffering the people have gone through with Lizz Truss policy, he has no regards on the consequences these so called apparent "leaders" have. A true leader leads with example, has the highest morale value, gives other opportunity to express themselves, respects others. considers their words to be the weight of gold in value, doesn't try to please others to get an advantage over things .... I have not seen from the T.V. drama show shown to me any evidence that Mr Johnson or Lizz Truss have any leadership skills and YET this MP considers them worthy .... I

We've sunk so low. Boris cannot be trusted.

So sad to see the effects of dementia on the elderly, the poor fellow has evidently lost his grasp on reality and has completely forgotten the past 3 years of disaster after disaster. My heart goes out to Mr Chope's family.

The fact the Tories are seriously considering re-electing a PM who was wanted out by 148 of his own MPs back in June shows just how ill this Conservative Party really is.

[dominoep]

They can't wait to get back to the good old days of Boris having parties while people died from a disease...

[Darrenrulestheworld]

Half of Boris's cabinet left months ago, how on earth can he form a functional government 😂

[wickerbathtub]

Someone help grandpa back to bed, I think he wandered away from the care home...

"He never deliberately misled Parliament"

Everyone remembers the, "There were no parties, " followed by reports of ABBA's The Winner Takes It All blasting from the 10 flat in the early hours after getting rid of another government official and parties in the early hours in the garden - I mean how stupid does he think the select comittee and the country is? If he's not found to have broken the rules then I have completely given up on this system

[herzenskoenig]

Is it delusions, dementia, Dunning-Kruger or all three of them in this one? 😅😛😛😛💀

[chrisstanley]

Boris accidentally lied to the British people. Yes, right.

[amc]

The public will take to the streets if Johnson returns as pm

[cabc]

Please bring back Boris so we in the rest of the world can continue laughing!

Reinstating Johnson would be yet another huge mistake on the part of the Conservative Party. The argument that Johnson "already has a mandate from the people" doesn't hold water. People now realise what a shifty character and a poor manager he is.
