After being ejected from No. 10, Boris Johnson has been warned to cease promoting a “Trumpish dream” about remaining in power.
A recent poll showed that the vast majority of people wanted him gone.
To give the Prime Minister a chance to remain in No. 10, his allies have started a grassroots movement.
A petition supporting his entry into the ongoing leadership contest has 10,000 supporters who identify as Tory members.
The PM has stated that he will leave office in September, but Lord Cruddas, the Tory donor who funded the campaign, claims the PM is reconsidering.
Regarding the assertion, which was initially made in the Telegraph, Mr. Johnson has not yet made any public remarks.
Steve Baker, a former ally, advised him to suppress any want to go back on his decision.
It happened at the same time as a new poll revealed that, although Tory voters are evenly divided, 70% of all voters believe he was correct to go.
‘The idea the prime minister can continue now that he’s resigned after the collapse of his government is risible,’ former Brexit minister Mr. Baker told HuffPost UK. It will not take place.
But fostering the sort of nonsense that Trump instigated in the US is risked by encouraging people to believe it might.
“It’s not right, it’s not responsible, and Boris should give up this idea about going on.”
I share your regret that his tenure as prime minister was so disastrous, but hoping differently is not a plan of action. Move on; the time has come.
Other allies of the PM have promoted him as a potential candidate to lead Nato in the interim.
The PM has played a key role in bringing the West’s support for Ukraine together. Jens Stoltenberg, the current secretary general of NATO, is anticipated to resign in September of next year.
The alliance’s members would have to agree in advance on his replacement.
Last night, Mr. Trump rehashed the phoney election fraud allegations that ignited the January 6 2020 Capitol uprising in his first trip back to Washington since being booted from the White House by Democrat Joe Biden.
He feels that his removal from office was unjustified and that he ought to still be the president.
There is no solid proof that the 2020 election was rigged, according to federal and state election officials as well as Mr. Trump’s own attorney general.
The US courts, including judges he chose, flatly rejected the former president’s accusations of fraud.
This week, Downing Street was compelled to state that the PM will resign after the September election for the new Conservative Party leader.
It followed Lord Cruddas’ declaration that he intended to “wipe away” his resignation and remain in No. 10.
Cruddas, a former chairman of the Conservative Party who received a peerage from Mr. Johnson, claimed that the PM “did not want” to step down and “wished that he could stay on.”
He stated to the Daily Telegraph that Boris’s opinions were clear. He is not at all interested in leaving.
He feels he can continue with the support of the membership because he wants to.
Boris complimented me for my “Boris on the ballot” campaign, the peer said. He wished me well and said he was enjoying watching it.
He declared that he recognised the membership’s outrage over what had transpired.
He expressed his desire to continue serving as prime minister. He claimed he did not want to step down.
When the peer asked Mr. Johnson if he would use a “magic wand” to instantly “wipe away” his resignation, Mr. Johnson is reported to have replied, “I would wipe away anything that stops me from being PM in a second.”
Lord Cruddas continued, “He wants to keep going to get the job done. He intends to run for office as Conservative Party leader in the upcoming general election.
Following the remarks, a No. 10 spokesperson issued a statement that read, “The Prime Minister has resigned as party leader and put clear his decision to stand down as PM when the new leader is in place.”
Additionally, Ms. Truss rejected the notion that her predecessor would remain in Cabinet or run for prime minister again.
She said that “what’s done is done” and that Mr. Johnson would be taking a “well-earned break” during Monday’s live broadcast of the BBC discussion.
‘Having spent time with him this week on foreign affairs, I very, very much suspect that he would not want a future role in the Government, I think he needs a well-earned break from what has been a very difficult few years,’ she said.
“Simply put, I don’t think that is really an option,” she said. “After all, he was seriously ill with Covid, we haven’t even talked about that, and that was a terrible moment when we didn’t know what was going to happen.
He has faced real challenges that no leader would have expected to face, the horrifying war in Ukraine.
I just don’t think it’s going to happen, I think that what’s done is done, the party has made the decision,
I have expressed my opinions on that, and I have now put myself forward as a candidate because I think I’m the best person for the job and I don’t think he would want further involvement, she continued.
When pressed further, Ms. Truss responded, “I’m sure he’ll have a role, I’m sure he’ll be vociferous, but he won’t be part of the government.
The straightforward response from Mr. Sunak is, “No.” He added, “That’s why I want to be prime minister. I think we need to look forward at this point.”
