They clearly want a second Brexit. A Brexit from being known as a developed nation.

They'd still lose horribly with those numbers.

Lady McAlpine, a Conservative supporter who commissioned the poll, said she believed the Tories would beat Labour if Mr Johnson led a new squeaky clean Conservative Party".

Then she's an idiot. Also doesn't define 'new squeaky clean Conservative Party'. Even if they brought Boris back, the party is still the same.

The legions of old gammon who make up the Tory Party membership have always favoured Johnson over any of the alternatives. (Kind of understandable when you look at the alternatives, and how his successors have somehow managed to be even more shit than he was).

But they don't matter because a) Johnson is not a member of Parliament, and b) he doesn't have enough support amongst the Parliamentary Party.

It's a nothing story, really. Just a 'what if . . .' floated by a newspaper that is basically discount Daily Mail.

other way around. Briton always seems to be a preview of what is about to happen in the usa. They did brexit and then we did trump. If boris johnson comes back to power then it just means that trump might come back too.

Boris Johnson may be popular with a certain sect of Tory voters but to the rest of the population, he's reviled. He would need to win an election to get elected as an MP (doubtful) and the Conservative Party would need to agree to make him leader (even more doubtful).

So basically, a pretty much impossible event. Liz Truss has more chance of becoming PM again than Boris. And if polling numbers are to be believed, we're looking at a Conservative wipeout at the next election.
