Boris Johnson 's allies are pushing for the former Prime Minister to make an extraordinary political comeback amid Liz Truss 's resignation - but once again, Mr Johnson is away enjoying a boujee holiday as yet another political storm takes place on UK soil.
Just six weeks after he left No 10 for the final time, forced out by his own MPs after one scandal too many, supporters are urging him to run again for a second shot. While he has neither confirmed if he is in or out, it is believed he is planning to jet back from his family vacation in an exclusive Caribbean island resort.
If he does contend, he must secure 100 nominations from the party's 357 MPs - a target that some at Westminster believe may be beyond him. But the ex-PM is said to be reassuring them that he is their only chance of avoiding electoral wipe-out as Labour surges in the polls.
