Plotting Boris Johnson has hosted a “very jolly” drinks bash for MPs and plans a new moneybags speech - despite his No10 comeback bid ending in humiliation.
The MP invited 60 people last night to his new office in Westminster, where he joked managing the Tory party was like handling his two kids on his rushed flight back from the Caribbean.
Mr Johnson flew back from a Dominican Republic holiday, taken while he was meant to be in Parliament, and spent a weekend trying to launch a run for No10 - only to pull out when key allies abandoned him.
