Boris Johnson has been spotted waving at press outside Gatwick Airport this morning as he made a swift return to the UK amid rumours he could bid to succeed Liz Truss as prime minister.
It comes just days after Truss stepped down from the top job, leaving Conservative MPs to elect a new leader. While Johnson has not officialy declared his intent to run, there is heavy speculation that he is considering a return to No 10.
Stepping off the plane from the Dominican Republic, where Johnson was holidaying with his wife and children, he was immediately escorted into two dark vans by his security detail. It is unclear whether Johnson cut his trip short following the news of Truss' resignation, or if he was due to return regardless.
