Boris Johnson is "up for" running in the Conservative leadership race and wants a second term as Prime Minister, an ally has said.The former PM, who resigned in July amid the 'partygate' scandal, is plotting an extraordinary comeback to the top job in British politics, according to Sir James Duddridge.
The MP for Rochford and Southend East said he was confident Mr Johnson would get the 100 nominations from Tory colleagues to progress to the next stage of the contest "quite quickly". Mr Johnson has "learned and reflected" in his spell out of office, and knows he needs a No 10 operation that is "slicker" and has "command of the details", according to the ally.
They point to the spectacular success in the 2019 general election - which saw swathes of the 'red wall', traditional Labour heartlands in the North and Midlands, swing to the Conservatives that year.But the new poll suggests that the 'partygate' scandal may have had a lasting impact among voters. It emerged earlier this year that several parties had been held in Downing Street and other government buildings, while draconian Covid-19 lockdown rules were still in place.
An overnight poll showed that in a Rishi Sunak vs Boris Johnson run-off, the public would back Sunak 44% to 31%.Mr Sunak would be the public's favourite in two of three 'final two' scenarios, with him also winning 45% of support over 23% for Mordaunt.And another poll suggests that more than half of British people do not want Boris Johnson to become Prime Minister again.
No reason to renew subscription on Netflix - “comedy hour” in UK.
PREPARE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT: More dis honesty, more cronies enriching through PPE like, party gate, zombie govt, more dinghy arrivals, more travel chaos, slow decision making in emergencies like Covid.
Are you covering the March in London today to rejoin the eu StayEuropean
“He can bring the party back together” lol ok what about the 60+ MPs who resigned because they said he was unfit to lead 4 months ago? These people honestly think we’re thick.
Flush away this turd 👇🏼
Sunak crowned? The procedure amounts to a private election so if it excludes the holiday-boy it would be fitting. Whatever the question he’s not the answer. BorisJohnson is my MP - Parliament sat while he sunned - a cardboard cutout would be more present. Conservatives don’t.
He had his chance time for someone who could do better.
I feel sick
Apart from the defence guy, most of them should not be any government,
Omfg
Six cabinet ministers with the morals of alley cats. No surprise there.
Who paid for the flight?another freebie,when he should have been anyway!
Doesn't the UK know what a laughing stock they are making of their democarcy? Here in Australia we just look on at this continuous train wreck.
So the Johnson coup they've been touting, has succeeded.
Six cabinet ministers that were so talentless that they didn’t scrape the bottom of the barrel to get them but they were scraped off the sole of my shoe
Appalling
Sums up how toxic politics is in this country at the moment. If this man gets back into power the country is done.
It’s always because “he’s a winner” or will “defeat Keir Starmer”. Never interested in the actual governing part. What’s the obsession with winning elections when you’re so unfit for what follows it.
Well apart from maybe Wallace there's 5 faces you won't see anymore in a couple of weeks
No way, they kicked him out, he lied and broke laws and the country was a mess. This proved conservatives don’t give a monkey about UK they just want to protect themselves. torychaos ToryScumOut conservativesout
Six members of an incompetent Cabinet chosen by an incompetent PM chosen by Tory members! OK!
Any mps backing Johnson should be named and shamed .
Queue the lettuce lads, all bets are on!
But he is a clown, with the head in the clouds, unreliable, lier, self-centered, spent drifter and a disgrace.
Who cares about him ?
by blackmail?
What's he up for? A new wife More holidays More lies More misogynistic behaviour What?
He is on his way
NIAbbot So Nick, will you now finally accept that all Covid vaccinations were fully laced with CoolAid and Stepfordwives microchips. 70% of the UK are now drooling for BorisJohnson the Sequel,he's a larf, he has charisma Shady's back..tell a friend MrToppers £8 makeover
He’s a criminal and a liar. He’s also under investigation for misleading parliament. Not fit for public office. Should be in jail.
Farcical, what a mess these have got us in and it's now beyond a joke
Maybe the media don't big this up so much because if you do, you're playing straight into the narcissist's hands.
Gotta love the fact he was booed on the plane home 🤣
I have to say, word replacement browser extensions make this shitshow far more amusing
No No No No Never, ever again. Back Off Boris
There will be riots..
Let’s hope so cos he’ll finish the Tory party for a generation.
I previously had respect for Ben Wallace sadly I have absolutely none now ! How on earth can he support a charlatan who was kicked out of office in disgrace and deem him fit to govern our great country ?
It’s definitely on.
I've burnt the dinner, darling, but don't worry, I'm going to dig in the bin for that trifle we threw away last week.
So ….at least six Tory cabinet ministers with no scruples or moral principles willing to accept Bunter the unprincipled Liar. Says all you need to know about the Tory Party. Hope Bunter wins …will be the death of them😊
The tories need to go all this voting for one another is disgusting while social care is falling apart.
So he's still avoiding representing his constituents.....
dogsh1t
You have got to be taking the fracking Michael
hope UKs nuclear weapons are safely secured as UK goes through very turbulent and uncertain times. Da international community must ensure that these strategic assets do not fall into any unsavoury hands n that da command-control structures are not compromised 🤔🧐 just a thought
Never forget!
The man who is returning from aholiday WHILST Parliament is sitting? The man who is STILL under investigation for lying to Parliament whilst PM? The same man who was ousted by his own Party a matter of weeks ago?
Cam we u turn the plane.
Boris couldn’t fly home when he was PM when U.K. was in Turmoil but he can now for his own selfish reasons
He's all juiced up from Jamaica.
Excellent 👏👏👏 BringBackBoris
Dare to dream 🙏
