🔴 Boris Johnson will stand for Tory leadership over as 'matter of national interest', report says ➡️ The former prime minister only stood down from office six weeks ago
Sir Robert Syms, the Tory MP for Poole, said: “Boris running is a fantasy the number for nominations will be lifted to limit runners and there will be massive pressure on the 2nd candidate in MPs ballot to drop out.”“I want us to go forward under Penny,” he toldDaisy Cooper, the Lib Dem’s deputy leader, said: “The fact that Conservative MPs are even considering putting Boris Johnson back in Number 10 shows how out of touch they really are.
“Boris Johnson was forced to resign in disgrace after countless lies, scandals and failures. He shattered public trust in the government and plunged the UK into a political crisis. He must never be allowed near Downing Street again. “The future of our country should be in the hands of voters, not the Conservative MPs who have caused all this chaos.”
Bookmakers Ladbrokes have said Mr Johnson’s odds at succeeding Ms Truss have tumbled from 20/1 to just 3/1 after reports emerged that had thrown his hat in the ring. In the weeks since he stood down from office Mr Johnson has kept a low profile. He didn’t attend the recent Conservative Party Conference and has kept out of the chaos that has engulfed the party since the mini-Budget.
