Calls for Boris Johnson's Return Intensify Amid Conservative Party Struggles

Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng urges Rishi Sunak to bring back Boris Johnson to bolster the Conservative Party's electoral prospects.

  • As the Conservative Party faces potential byelection defeats, calls for Boris Johnson's return are growing louder, with former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng leading the charge.
  • Kwarteng suggests that Rishi Sunak should 'swallow some pride' and reach out to Johnson, citing his proven electoral success and appeal to voters.
  • Johnson, who likened himself to Cincinnatus in his departure speech, continues to enjoy significant support within the party, despite his controversial resignation.
  • The prospect of Johnson's return is seen as a way to counter the party's declining popularity and prevent defections to the Reform Party.
  • Sunak faces pressure to unite the 'Conservative family' and overcome personal and political differences to strengthen the party's position against Labour.
