Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is reportedly mulling over his options amid claims he could stand in the Tory leadership race following the resignation of his replacement Liz Truss this afternoon. The former PM, who is currently on holiday, is said to be “taking soundings” on whether to run again, according to The Times.
Some of his fellow MPs have already started backing Boris to take the top role once again, even though he only left office last month on September 6. Tory MP Brendan Clarke-Smith has called for him to stand.
Mr Clarke-Smith said he thought Mr Johnson would be “potentially” interested.
