But he also knows that if he doesn't win now, he'll have to back whomever the party chooses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCI Frank Burnside 3,889 Posted October 21, 2022 All Boris needs to do is make sure he's in the final two. The membership will absolutely put him back in. Regardless of whether he has 100 backers and Sunak 200+ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of whether he has 100 backers and Sunak 200+ Oh yes, and we know how that ends! I'm thinking the Daily Star will have to be more ambitious than a lettuce - maybe a few bulbs that flower early and wilt to compost by mid-Summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,647 Posted October 21, 2022 If Boris holds off he cannot guarantee winning his seat at a GE so it might be now or never. Rishi Sunak might calculate that the leader after a GE will have a bit more opportunity albeit no power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,629 Posted October 21, 2022 They really think Boris would be a good idea as Home Secretary in a Sunak Government. Really? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rishi Sunak might calculate that the leader after a GE will have a bit more opportunity albeit no power If Boris wins I reckon it is all but guaranteed that enough Tory Mps would either defect , quit the commons altogether causing by elections or resign the Tory whip in such number that his majority would be gone or severely dented.The argument seems to be that getting Boris back makes a general election less likely but I think it would increase it as the Tories would look a much bigger joke than they do even now. A couple of my friends predict civil unrest if Boris comes back.I can't see it going that far straight away but could add to the extreme anger by the vast majority of the population and cause it in time to boil over into the streets.Especially as winter bites and BlowJo still could be suspended from the house. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,212 Posted October 22, 2022 Not sure if it has been mentioned but why was this joker on holiday? Parliament has been back for 2 weeks. Let's not forget he had a holiday over the summer too, when his caretaker Government was doing nothing. Couldn't get his arse back quick enough though...within hours of me predicting exactly that. Obviously if he does get on the ballot, he'll need another holiday to get over this exhausting leadership campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,629 Posted October 22, 2022 Lord Frost endorses Sunak rather than Johnson. That’s a surprise. Momentum for a coronation for Sunak growing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
