Rishi Sunak has approved Mr Johnson’s resignation honours list and “forwarded it unamended” to King Charles, the prime minister’s press secretary said.
“He had no involvement or input into the approved list,” the press secretary said
Missed out of the honours list so has decided she’s no longer for public service. Let’s see her turn up on one of those Gammon “news” channels with a new prime-time show for mouth-breathing racists.
Perfect time for a by-election. Probably a safe seat but will still be an interesting race.
No way this is the end for Boris. If Labour win the General Election next year, I think there is a very good chance that Boris will be the next leader of the opposition. He still has a lot of support within the party and within the parliamentary party. All he needs is a safe seat. Uxbridge and South Ruislip was not a safe seat for Boris and at the next election (if he had stood) there was a very good chance that he would have lost his seat. This way, he can potentially go offline for a while, secure a safe seat somewhere, and be back in the next Parliament.
I think people underestimate his ambition. Plus he was forced out and I thinks he wants to finish what he started. If it wasn’t for Covid he was probably easily on for a second full terms as PM.
Good question. I get the sense that he wanted make his mark on British politics and has unfinished business given how he was forced out. I suppose when you have the top job, it is hard to readjust afterwards.
