msc 18,480 Posted October 23, 2022 Churchill's big return was to the cabinet after a decade out in the cold. Also because he was blatantly the right man at the right time. Johnsons proposed big return would come after six weeks of sunning himself after being ousted. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are worried they will look stupid if he now decides not to run after they have been so vocal supporting him. It may also lessen their chances of being given a job by Rishi or Penny. Speaking of Penny Mordaunt SKY NEWS reporting Boris asked Penny to pull put of the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,404 Posted October 23, 2022 Pulls out, with only 59 public backers (apparently he had 102…sure, Jan) If only his dad had 59 years ago. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,608 Posted October 23, 2022 Surprise suprise. Will Mordaunt make the Ballot now. He has sort of shafted her through by saying the 100 nominations but miles behind Sunak won’t be good for a party unity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
