Both the Prime Minister and Keir Starmer ought to fear the ominous drumbeat of a Boris Johnson revival ✍️ paulwaugh
Of course, as the backlash to Truss’s intervention has shown, her problem is that many Tory MPs believe she’s so toxic to the party’s brand that she undermines the very causes she espouses, including the good ones.
In many ways, it was the gap between Truss’s rarefied right-wing think tank world and the voters that was her biggest failing. Johnson has in the past shown he has a talent for tapping into the mainstream, using the NHS to sell Brexit and his One Nation end-of-austerity pitch to win a general election.
Many in Labour think yet another leadership putsch would further confirm to voters that the Tory party has lost its mind, with its MPs an ungovernable rabble whose disunity will always distract them from delivering on bread-and-butter issues. One senior Labour MP even tells me they suspect a restored Johnson could attempt a snap election this October. “He’ll say ‘I got some things wrong, but I got you Brexit, I did my best on Covid and I was right about Putin. Give me a new mandate to finish the job.’ And unlike us, he keeps it simple.”
