Boris Johnson won't enter UK Conservative Party leadership race, dashing potential comeback bid for premiership.

UK former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pulled out of the contest to become the next Conservative Party leader and therefore the next prime minister, Britain’s PA Media news agency reported Sunday.

Sunak declared on Sunday morning that he would be standing in the contest. In a tweet, he wrote, “The United Kingdom is a great country but we face a profound economic crisis. That’s why I am standing to be Leader of the Conservative Party and your next Prime Minister. I want to fix our economy, unite our Party and deliver for our country.

Acosta Now he has no chance.

Odd he does not ever comb his hair. He had his time in office. Maybe new guy get things settled over the pond ,as they say.

Tory, a party made up of liars, zero transparency. They hv become an organized crime syndicate comparable to the MAFIA. And they hv organized them self well to respond to any threat -whistleblowers or internal investigations- This is MODUS OPERANDI OF an ORGANIZED CRIME Syndicate

Intentionally the Tory called for an informative referendum over Brexit. Without legal ground they agreed to accept the result of a YES Brexit while ignoring a NO result, and call for an election. Their strategy was a major lie accusing EU workers to be using the Benefit system.

Over the last 10 years Tory hv managed to destroy the UK economy, Lie over Brexit, Ignore the rules of Covid, lying over a Pandemic & causing death of so many people. Tory created a web of lies under the direction of all PM and BJ, born liar who made us become the laughter of all

Aw nooo

Boris Johnson is done. He had everything he wanted being the Prime Minster of England but that is over.

Acosta You have to admit he’s a class act guy ! They want him back - it’s been 6 weeks

He ought to vanish once more.

The only sense I see in him by backing out.

B.J. he is a CIA agent. GB will lead to war. Is it worth the risk with him? No. Already seen when challenging Russia.

More than 50 civilians have died due to the Burmese dictator's airstrikes. Still think you have no responsibility?

Oh dear..what a shame 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Today music

Who'll be the next clown in line? BBCBreaking

Read this and tell me it’s a story. Seriously.

Smart move!

BOJO turning into Gollum stalking the ring he lost.

He runs when the Gold Sac acolyte has been destroyed ~ 🤣

Good

early eja

That alone is a good thing.

Thank God. 🙄

Thank god.

UK do not need leader like boris👎🏻

Alternate headline: Disgraced former PM is not wanted back by Tory MPs

Blunt had no answer on inflation and Pam Brown should have called him on it.. the new CNN was just like FOX. That one hurt how CNN let him get away with that. I kept waiting.. nothing. MSNBC here we come!

Booooooo. He was the best person for the job in the 1st place

Joe Biden is paying people to lie about religion to hide the fact that I'm God so that the government can use me for control and to make money and Nancy pelios is using the illuminati communication network to do it

thelarrydiaries for PM!!

Off you go ,bumble, back to your cocaine

Acosta BorisJohnson LikeADampTowelOnALine I guess getting kicked out twice was enough!

Ms. Penny Mordaunt for 10 Downing Street ,,,,, people's choice 😍💖

This somehow gives me hope that Trump would also fail miserably in a comeback attempt.

Oh rats! Whatever is the news media going to talk about now?!?

Good.

The British Trump tried to bluff himself back into being Prime Minister and his lies of support he didn't have caused him to fall flat on his face. Hope that's a good omen for America with the real Trump.

Interesting. If only, Trump would follow suit here!

BoJo got no mojo 😞

Does Boris Johnson ever pull out?

It’s almost as though he didn’t get enough support.

Best news ever

And just like that Boris has rehabilitated his image by putting country first and politics and personal agenda second …I have more respect for him now than before

Acosta That’s a new one: “Boris Johnson” and “dashing” in the same sentence! JonathanPieNews stephenfry EricIdle

And why would he?

FoxNews MahsaaAmini مهسا_امینی

Good decision.

Tongo

But it is possible to change his mind.

BETTER: Boris didn't have the votes, lied about it, and will now go back to his extended vacation.

Acosta He should go back to being a “journalist”

A spark of sanity in this poor mind...

Acosta If only Trump would do the same

Good. Hopefully the Conservatives will be forced to hold a general election and a more liberal government will take hold.

Attention please! Mr Johnson must reconsider his decision or King Charles must persuade him to save the UK, a better person than Johnson is not yet there in the UK, UK strength could be dwindled. RoyalFamily wolfblitzer

Plonker!!!

Acosta Boris is smarter than Don, Steve, Roger, Mikes Flynn and Lindell, Rudy, Alex and sets of GOP Senators, Reps, financiers and foreign participants. The biggest threat to America since WWII is today's Republican Party and it's allies, foreign and domestic.

Acosta Thank God

Acosta .DonaldJTrumpJr IvankaTrump EricTrump MELANIATRUMP Tell your father/husband Donald Trump to take a hint, ok? Thanks.

Acosta Don’t believe for a second BorisJohnson has the numbers to get over the line, so his casual acquaintance with the truth comes to the fore as always. I voted for Conservatives last time, but the catastrophic mess they’ve caused is immense. They love power, NOT public service!

Couldn’t, not wont. Hadn’t got the numbers

Only decent thing Johnson has ever done for UK. NOW need GeneralElection‼️

Best news I’ve heard all day

It is suicide to read news about Africa, China🇨🇳, Russia🇷🇺, Iran🇮🇷 or Pakistan🇵🇰 in western media.

Boris added though he is totally up for a run at being King.

He clearly went to the same school as Trump and failed at maths, couldn't get 100 MP's to back him in the end.

Thank you.

Acosta Very prudent!

If Mr Johnson reject a potential comeback for the premiership, the UK could collapse. RoyalFamily A Better person than Johnson is not yet there in the UK.

Can Trump do the same? Asking for 330m people.

🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

The boos them he received on the flight back home changed his mind

Good, he started the war in Ukraine on Bidens request! Russia and Ukraine we're going to sign a treaty that Russia would back off if Ukraine agreed to not join NATO! Then Biden sent him out there to talk Zalinski out of it and now WW3!

Boris out

Such a shame…not

Let us hope that this time, he is not lying.

Good. It is time for the conservative Brits to seek out a temporary leader to get through a general election a.s.a.p. Let the people decide.

Acosta

Acosta Probably for the best?

🥳

Thank God!

Thank the Lord, you don't want Trump Light

Mr. Lisisnak and Mr. Boris Johnson, both understand each other's positions and roles. Boris Johnson, we are waiting for you. Now is the time for you to focus on parenting. UK +1 and this 1 is exactly me. God bless the UK. Amen

I feel that our issues and issues lie beyond 2024. I believe that the rise of young power will be an epoch maker, as it will be a new and open political question, whether it can overcome the empirical rule of age difference. I think that the two bright people,

Good for you

The Tory membership reacts

Kamala’s friend is set to become the next prime minister then!

What

Hi CNN let me correct it for you, the cut off mark was 100 votes , he lied and said he had 102 when in reality he had only 59 !! sums him up really

boris:
