Boris Johnson pictured in Carribean beach bar as he 'gains ground' in Prime Minister bid
Boris Johnson and wife Carrie have been pictured at a beach bar on their Caribbean holiday, amid reports he wants to return to power.
The snap of Mr Johnson, 58, and Carrie, 34, was taken at about 5pm last Friday - hours after Kwasi Kwarteng was fired as Chancellor and doomed Liz Truss's excruciating Downing Street press conference. Should Boris Johnson become Prime Minister again? Have your say in our comments below. Mr Sunak remains favourite to enter Number 10 next week, however Mr Johnson is gaining ground in his audacious bid. The latter has won the support of five current cabinet ministers - including Defence Secretary Ben Wallace. He is also thought to be favourite among Conservative party members, who will vote on the two final candidates should two MPs both get 100 nominations for Prime Minister.
The holidaymaker said the sunshine getaway was 'a bit of an escape' for the ex-PM. "They just seemed all right in conversation, fairly relaxed," they said. The image of Boris emerges a day after Liz Truss sensationally quit as Prime Minister, just 44 days after the Tories voted her as the head of the Conservative Party.
During her short premiership, Truss sacked her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng less than five weeks after being appointed as their calamitous mini-Budget collapsed around them.
