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 had attempted to become leader seven weeks ago following the resignation of Johnson, but lost to Liz Truss who stepped down on Thursday. A runoff between the two men could have proved divisive for the ruling Conservative party, not least because many of Johnson’s supporters blame Sunak’s resignation in July for sparking the downfall of his government. The Conservatives, in power for 12 years, are currently engulfed in turmoil following Truss’ resignation after a chaotic premiership.

WTF is going on in the UK? I don't keep up, but it seems like things are as fucked over there as they are over here. Well, hope things improve for both of us, but highly doubt they will.

BoJo is not mad, he doesn't want to sink with the UK Titanic who hit the iceberg during its mandate! When you base your action on lies, it always comes back to you like a boomerang! Brexit

He should have stayed on holiday then! What a plank!
