BORIS Johnson reportedly wishes he could "wipe away" his resignation as Prime Minister as a campaign to keep him in office builds steam, a loyalist peer has said. 

Former Tory party treasurer Lord Cruddas of Shoreditch, also founder of Vote Leave and a billionaire, told The Telegraph that Johnson doesn't want to stand down as PM.
