Boris Johnson to stand again at the next general election
The former prime minister’s decision suggests he is committed to a long-term career in politics.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician and writer serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 2016-2018 and Mayor of London 2008-2016. Johnson has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and was previously MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.
The former prime minister’s decision suggests he is committed to a long-term career in politics.
The very slight bounce Sunak offered his party on becoming prime minister has now “flatlined”, according to experts.
It marks the pair’s first major parliamentary interventions since departing Downing Street.
"The massive disappointment was to discover that that wallpaper had started to peel off of its own accord and had actually been painted over by Liz Truss."
“It’s kind of like when I play the piano. The notes individually sound perfectly OK, but they’re not in the right order, or occurring at the right time", he said.
Boris Johnson’s register of interests indicates he was paid more than £32,000 an hour for his appearance in Colorado Springs.
The former minister said Boris Johnson threw a ‘successful’ party to thank his supporters after he bowed out of the race to replace Liz Truss.
The former prime minister has asked multiple Conservative MPs to hold off on their peerage so they do not trigger by-elections.
It includes Nadine Dorries, a 30-year-old former aide and the donor who arranged Johnson's holiday to Mustique.
