One of the big issues Sunak has had to deal with in recent weeks and months is that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson may be planning a comeback. Any such move would surely result in Rishi losing his job.
The former Mayor of London and later PM has yet to fully recognize that the world has changed and it will be harder for him to get involved at a senior level in the party unless he is a constituency MP.
Yesterday was Rishi Sunak’s big day and if he had gone badly Johnson could have pounced. He didn’t.
If Johnson is in a strong position this could have a moment when he can make a move
Apart from the vocal support of Nadine Dorrie Johnson’s position in the parliamentary party seems relatively weak. Undoubtedly Sunak has been helped by his confident approach to the big changes announced yesterday.
I find it harder to see how Johnson returns to number 10. In the betting he is now rated as a 13% chance for the next PM.
