Boris Johnson returns to UK in bid for rapid political comeback

Boris Johnson returned to Britain from holiday on Saturday to consider an audacious bid for a second term as prime minister in a race that could pit him against his former finance minister whose resignation in July helped drive him out of office. Johnson, who was on holiday in the Caribbean when Truss resigned, has not commented publicly about a bid for his old job. He has received the support of dozens of Conservative lawmakers, but needs 100 nominations to be considered. For some Conservative lawmakers, Johnson is a vote-winner, able to appeal across the country with his celebrity image and brand of energetic optimism. Former Conservative party leader William Hague said Johnson's return would lead to a "death spiral" for the party.

Boris Johnson battling to win support for PM comeback bid

Johnson was prime minister from 2019 to 2022 until he was forced to resign over a string of scandals. "This isn't the time for Boris's style," Steve Baker, an influential lawmaker on the right of the party, told Sky News. For some Conservative lawmakers, Johnson is a vote-winner, able to appeal across the country with his celebrity image and brand of energetic optimism. Under the rules, if only one candidate passes the threshold of 100 lawmakers on Monday then they will be declared as prime minister. If more than one clears the hurdle, they will face a vote of around 170,000 signed-up members of the Conservative Party, with the winner announced on Friday.
