Former Prime Minister has texted a close pal to say he's 'up for it' concerning the Conservative Party's leadership vote. The 58-year-old MP has been on holiday in the Caribbean, despite parliament being in session.
Thanks to the resignation of Liz Truss, Tory are now expected to put their weight behind a candidate for leader. And while the only MP to throw their hat into the ring at the time of writing is Penny Mordaunt, Mr Johnson has reportedly texted his friend that he is on his way back to reclaim Number 10.
He announced he will fly back to the UK from his Caribbean holiday to attempt an extraordinary comeback as prime minister in a text to an ally. Trade minister Sir James Duddridge said the man ousted by his own Cabinet just six weeks ago will be landing on Saturday (October 22).
