Thoughts on Boris returning as PM?

You suspect. You don't know.

I am able to understand logic. If he had 102 nominations he would be on the ballot paper and the Conservative party members would elect him. I also recognise that a compulsive liar will always lie to put themselves in the best possib;e light.

Speculation and conjecture.

It may be right, it may not. But you don't know for certain.

That does appear to be the consensus amongst most political commentators - who in turn have many contacts at Westminster. It also fits pretty neatly with Johnson's character.

No, I think he had the support to get onto the ballot, but Boris recognised any new tenure would be very short lived with a split party. He hoped to do a deal, couldn’t make one, so easier to withdraw, let the mess settle down in due course and then consider going again in the future.

IF that was his thoughts, I would agree, the PM job is a poisoned chalice atm, only an idiot would truly want it, or a desperate politician. Plenty of both types in Westminster.

So which is Johnson? I, personally, go for a desperate politician, given that choice, although idiot runs it close.

Is Boris the man for the job right now?

Given that he's bowed out, it seems he also doesn't think he's the man for the job . . . . . right now.

Must be one of the only times he’s been known to pull out when he should!
