Former Conservative MP dismisses rumours of Boris Johnson's hasty return to campaigning

Former Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has dismissed rumours of a hasty return to campaigning for Boris Johnson , amid reports he will be deployed to campaign for the Tories in the Red Wall ahead of the next election. Speaking on LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr, the former Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire dismissed rumours of a Sunak-Johnson reconciliation amid "dangerous" polling by the Tories against Reform UK.

Calling the reports “a great PR move” by the Tories, she added the rumours were simply a bid to "keep Lee Anderson off the front pages". It follows fellow MP Lee Anderson's defection from the Conservatives to Reform UK on Monday. Johnson, who was forced out of No10 by his party in 2022, was said to be 'deployed' in marginal seats in the Red Wall in a bid to maintain some of the majority he sustained during the 2019 election according to The Times. Rubbishing the idea that Boris Johnson could "crash around constituencies without some kind of formal arrangement" being in place, Dorries told Andrew Marr that the PM and Johnson "are not best friends" and "had not spoken"
