Whoever becomes PM will inherit the same groaning basket of problems that proved too heavy for Liz Truss to bear.
It has been a weekend that had the ring of familiarity to it for those of us who've reported on events at Westminster for some time.Having flown back from the Caribbean, he spent Saturday and Sunday doing some attempted telephonic charming - working out how much, or little, support he had in the parliamentary party, just weeks after they got shot of him.
But the reaction to these claims was a reminder of one of the many issues a returning Boris Johnson would have faced - put simply, plenty, including on his own side, don't believe a word he says.One of those very MPs did acknowledge to me privately, though, that things might have been very different if Mr Johnson had not been facing an inquiry into whether he misled the House of Commons during the lockdown parties rows.
