Boris Johnson is said to be planning to stand for the Tory leadership contest after the resignation of Liz Truss. He considers the move a matter of public interest, according to reports.
Liz Truss announced her resignation after insisting less than 24 hours earlier she is a “fighter, not a quitter”. A new Prime Minister will be chosen next week.
The Daily Telegraph, who Mr Johnson once described as his “real boss” and where he worked as a columnist, has reported that he is expected to stand. The Times has reported the same claim.
