This is never going to happen. But it made me smile at the thought of it. If Johnson is putting out feelers then he is in for a larger than life size disappointment.

For Johnson to stand, he has to stand as an independent or be selected by the Tories. Could you really see the Tories selecting Johnson under the current climate. As much as I would love to see the implosion this would cause, I could not see them be so stupid. This goes beyond Trussenomics for me.

Standing as an independent would seriously hamper his draw to the tory vote. And if Johnson looses then this will damage his brand, which in turn will reduce his earnings from the speech circuit. Johnson is far too much of a coward to risk his money earning potential. We saw that when he bailed from parliament after spending all our money on lawyers.

    Lmfao so Alexander Boris DePfiffel Johnson has apparently found that his knock off Rowan Atkinson stand up character isn’t actually winning him all that many gigs speaking at private parties, even now that he can bill himself as “Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson”.

    I hope he didn’t spend all that Russian money too quickly. Maybe when he’s circling the drain they’ll finally reveal that he was a paedophile all along, with a bastard child to an underage girl.
