According to LBC Radio a certain Lady Judith McAlpine is leading a serious charge to push Rishi aside and parachute Boris back into Number 10, in a bid to secure victory at the General Election.
What? Yet another wholly PM wholly unelected by the entire populace and a re-cycled one at that?
Also a known and proven liar not to mention serial womaniser.
Give me strength!

It won’t happen.

It can’t happen… unless they do a Cameron and send him to the Lords!

He’s no longer an MP. By convention, the PM is always an MP.

I like to imagine it won't happen but - as previously mentioned - David Cameron was handed a peerage AND a ministerial appointment. So, we never know.

Serious charge!!!

Not only is Johnson not an MP but last summer, Parliament voted 354-7 to accept a report finding Johnson lied about Partygate and revoked his parliamentary pass so he isn't even allowed to enter the Parliamentary estate.

How does Lady McAlpine plan to get around that? Cabinet meetings by Zoom?

It’s not what the public want. Older people may still like him, but the younger voters don’t. It’s the right wing of the Tory party who are pushing for him to return.
You can filter this by age.

Give me strength! A proven liar many times over. Dreadful man.

This Lady Alpine needs to check her facts.. You have to be an current MP, why do they give these people airtime.

The McAlpines are unpleasant people and I believe they were mired in some (political?) bribery scandal at one point.

Ridiculous. The best way to get rid of Sunak and his awful government is a General Election.

I agree.

Just grasping at straws hoping that Boris will save the Tories at the 11th hour and save their jobs in the process. A bit like the US very likely going to return Trump to the Presidency albeit from a possible prison cell. The crazy world of politics.

Judy McAlpine should go back to playing with her private railway, totally out of touch. BJ was highlighted on the BBC this morning as “the biggest liar in UK political history” quite an accolade

So what is he doing visiting Venezuela for “unofficial” talks. Sending the biggest liar seems an insult to me?
