Sunak should ‘swallow some pride’ and bring back Johnson, says Kwarteng
Mr Kwarteng, who announced this week that he would be quitting Parliament at the general election, also said the Prime Minister needed to “work on his outreach with backbenchers” to prevent more from standing down.
He told GB News on Sunday: “I’ve always been a big Boris fan. He had a very good success as an electoral force.
“You know, we’re 20 points behind, and the polls haven’t really moved in the last year.
“So, it’s not time to simply say, ‘more of the same’. Something has to change for us to have a chance of winning.
I'm sure Boris isn't particularly keen on climbing up onto the bridge merely for the opportunity of going down with the ship. That's Sunak's job now.
Although Starmer isn't remotely impressive and Boris isn't afraid of a challenge. Interesting times, but probably not that interesting.

My guess is that Boris will wait until after the next General Election. By then a lot of the Conservative MPs that hate him will have lost their seats or retired, and we will also see what damage Labour will do to the country. Only then will he ride to the rescue.

You're right, Kwasi. I suggest you come up with a leader and a strategy which dumps Net Zero, stops all immigration and arranges deportation of illegal migrants and criminal migrants, cuts government departments, states that women can't have penises, and admits that although they don't have all the answers, they will have a go at sorting out the obvious problems.
Even I'd vote for you then, you lanky patrician dweeb.
Boris was apparently the only senior figure whose intuition about Covid was sound. But he proved himself a flabby-faced coward and knuckled down to the crooks advocating The Science.
I think I'll re-assign myself as a parrot, because I would have written everything Sam has said - word for word!
I guess everyone is waiting for the Wellingborough result!
DJ - I agree, if he still has ambitions to lead then he'll wait, with the added pleasure of watching Sunak sink.
Sam - but of course he won't. We don't get rational government because it's not on the global agenda. Rationally national is too parochial for them now.
dearieme - yes, his instincts were sound. I sometimes wonder what impact that had on him and if he regrets the cowardice. Possibly not, he'd say he just didn't have enough allies.
Scrobs - I hope Wellingborough is interesting, it's the best we can hope for, an interesting result.
It'll take more than electioneering charisma to save the Tory party this election.
Tammly - I agree, nobody is likely to want the hot seat now.
