Boris Johnson ‘believes he’ll be back as prime minister next year’

Christopher Hope - 1h ago

Boris Johnson privately believes he will be back in office next year, despite announcing his resignation after MPs rose up against his leadership two weeks ago.

Tim Montgomerie, a former aide to Mr Johnson who has since been critical of him, said he had been told by sources close to the Prime Minister that he was convinced he would be back.

 

In a well-sourced post on social media, Mr Montgomerie wrote: “Boris is telling aides that he’ll be PM again within a year.”

 

Mr Johnson told MPs at his final Prime Minister’s Questions earlier this week: “Hasta la vista, baby” and said it was “mission largely accomplished – for now”.

 

It comes as a row broke out among senior Conservatives about a campaign among party members to allow them a vote on whether Mr Johnson should continue as Prime Minister.

 

By Friday night, 7,600 members – all of whom have given their membership numbers – had signed a petition calling for the vote.

Lord Cruddas of Shoreditch, the former party treasurer who organised the petition, said “several MPs” had started to “make noises” about supporting his campaign.

 

Michael Fabricant, a Johnson loyalist, became the first MP to support the “Bring Back Boris” campaign, telling The Telegraph: “MPs have clearly misread the mood of the party membership on this and so many other matters.

 

“If I thought Boris were keen – despite the treachery of his ministers – to carry on, I would support Peter Cruddas’s campaign in the blink of an eye.”

 

One Cabinet minister loyal to Mr Johnson was also supportive, saying: “There is complete and utter despair and disbelief at what has happened. 

 

“It is no wonder that the grassroots members feel their voices have been cancelled out by a minority in the Parliamentary party.

 

These are the same people who year after year, decade after decade, have chosen to silence the membership of the Conservative Party for their own preferment and betterment. And that is wrong.”

 

The worry now will be that if more MPs come out in support of the campaign to bring back Mr Johnson it will undermine the leadership contest between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss. 

 

As many as 50 Conservative MPs attended a lunch at Chequers with him last Sunday.

 

However, senior Tories broke cover to urge urging the membership to move on. Sir Robert Buckland, the Welsh Secretary, said: “The Prime Minister has stood down voluntarily. He is not playing any part in this leadership contest. He is not a candidate.

 

“The focus now is on bringing the party together and winning the next election under a new leader.”

 

Former minister Steve Baker said it was time for Mr Johnson to step in before the Government collapsed in what he described as a “Trumpian disaster”.

 

Mr Baker, who is backing Ms Truss in the leadership contest, said: “I implore members backing this campaign to think what would happen if they won and Boris continued as Prime Minister – the Government would immediately collapse.

 

“Whether we like it or not, Boris can only form a government because he is stepping down. If members press on with this pro-Boris plan, they just get Rishi. Certain individuals who dislike both candidates cannot deliver us into a Trumpian disaster of dysfunctional government.

 

“I hope Boris will thank Lord Cruddas for his support but will confirm that he does now need to give way. The political stability of the UK rests on this. I see no alternative than for Boris to pop this bubble before we have another political disaster.”

 

Number 10 declined to comment on Mr Montgomerie’s remarks or Lord Cruddas’s campaign.

Brilliant. There's Labour's GE campaign right there.

Met admits not sending Boris Johnson questionnaires over Partygate gatherings
Force accused of ‘deferential policing’ after it confirms not seeking details from PM over two events before deciding not to fine him
Anger over the Partygate scandal has been reignited after Scotland Yard confirmed that it did not send questionnaires to Boris Johnson before deciding against fining him for attending two Downing Street lockdown gatherings.

Fines were issued to other attenders at the gatherings in 2020, including one at No 10 on 13 November, where the prime minister gave a leaving speech for his departing director of communications, Lee Cain, and another in the Cabinet Office on 17 December.
Downing Street has previously briefed that Johnson did not receive police questionnaires relating to some lockdown events. But the revelation on Monday is thought to be the first time the Metropolitan police has admitted this, under details released as part of a legal challenge.

The Good Law Project (GLP), a non-profit campaign group that has brought a judicial review over accusations that the Met failed to fully investigate Johnson’s presence at parties, said: “The Met’s actions have raised grave concerns about the deferential way in which they are policing those in power.

“We don’t think the Met’s response is consistent with their legal duty of candour. And we certainly don’t think it’s consistent with what the Met has elsewhere conceded is their public duty to maintain public confidence in policing.”

The group is taking action in concert with Brian Paddick, the Liberal Democrat peer and former senior police officer.

In a document summarising the Met’s response to the challenge, released by the GLP, the force said it could confirm no questionnaire was sent to Johnson for the two 2020 gatherings. It confirmed it sent one in relation to a gathering held on 14 January 2021.

Johnson received a single £50 fine in April for breaking Covid laws at a birthday party thrown for him in June 2020.

In its response to the GLP, Scotland Yard said investigating officers had examined hundreds of documents including emails, diary entries, witness statements and CCTV images.

Questionnaires were a useful part of the investigation, but if answers were clear from other evidence, “there was little to be gained” from sending one to a particular person simply for them to confirm what was already known, and there was no duty to send one, it was said.

The Met said Operation Hillman, the probe into Partygate, had concluded and that it would not comment on the steps taken in the course of the investigation.

There was an angry reaction from former officials embroiled in the police inquiry, included one who pointed out that Rishi Sunak received a fixed-penalty notice for his presence at the end of Johnson’s birthday party, which the then chancellor was said to have wandered into as he prepared for another meeting.

Jo Maugham, director of the GLP, said: “Johnson isn’t going to be prime minister for much longer. But, for me, this continues to be about what it was always about: trust in policing and the rule of law. Seventy-two per cent of voters think there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. Why won’t the Met address that perception? Why won’t they just say what happened?”

No 10 declined to comment, referring queries to Scotland Yard.

This toddler is one of only 100 people in the world with 'Uncombable Hair Syndrome'

Telegraph reporters - 10h ago

 

This is Layla Davis and she has been diagnosed as one of only 100 people in the world with 'Uncontrollable Hair Syndrome'.

The 17-month-old's blonde locks defy all attempts to comb them straight.

 

Uncontrollable Hair Syndrome develops in childhood, often between infancy and age three. It is a condition that is characterised by dry, frizzy hair that cannot be combed flat.

 

Children who develop it tend to have light-coloured hair - and there are only around 100 cases in the world.

 

The condition is also known as spun glass hair and usually improves over time – normally by adolescence.

Layla's mother, Charlotte, 28, from Great Blakenham, Suffolk, said: "She was fluffy from when she was about one and then after that it started growing more and more outwards.

 

''I think I was in denial and kept saying it was going to go flat.

 

"I really proud to get the diagnosis because it's so rare, part of the reason I delayed getting her tested for it is because there's only one hundred people with it in the world - the chances of having it are so slim."

Hopefully it start getting a bit of column inches now..he doesn't even deny that he could have leaked something 

Then there is the partygate enquiry and the pandemic investigation. 

Still at least he got the big calls right

[magicrat]

Even more reason the cunt should have been kicked out as soon as he resigned
