Supporters of Boris Johnson are backing the former prime minister to make an extraordinary political comeback following the resignation of Liz Truss - and some Nottinghamshire Live readers have also backed the possible move.
Liz Truss resigned as the country's leader in a speech at Downing Street after more than a dozen Conservative MPs publicly called on her to step down. Her 44-day tenure means she has become the shortest serving Prime Minister in history after she battled an open revolt from Conservatives demanding her departure.
Now, Boris Johnson is expected to stand in the contest to replace her and believes it is a matter of “national interest”, according to reports. The former prime minister, who only left office six weeks ago, is understood to be taking soundings from friends, but is said to believe he can turn the Conservative Party around.
