Rishi Sunak joins Ben Houchen in Teesside to celebrate third mayoral term. The Conservative politician made a dig at the Labour Party in his victory speech, saying Labour had 'funded the tourism industry' in Teesside while campaigning.
Boris is like a coiled black mamba, ready to strike,’ says an ally of the former prime minister. ‘He is watching David Cameron stride cheerfully around the world stage, while he sits in exile and the party’s poll ratings sink lower and lower. They brought back the wrong ex-PM.’He is loving domestic life in his moated manor house deep in the Oxfordshire countryside with wife Carrie and their three children, and watching his post-Downing Street earnings head towards the £8 million mark.
It has led even One Nation MPs on the Left of the party to consider calling for Johnson’s help in their constituencies. One moderate said: ‘Having Boris out there urging people not to split the vote by voting for Reform is powerful. With others, the reaction is, “He would say that, wouldn’t he”. But Boris can sell it.’
Then, after an interim Tory leader such as former home secretary Priti Patel has tried to steady the ship for a couple of years, he could sweep in and save the party.‘He would be a better prime minister with that no longer on his mind.’ Johnson turns 60 next month; no longer in the first flush, certainly, but 17 years younger than his hero Winston Churchill when he became prime minister for the second time.
His friends say it ‘is about helping the party – not Rishi’. One says: ‘Sunak has still not picked up the phone to ask him to help out. So it will be about defending the party’s values versus Labour. He wants to fire bullets at Starmer, but hasn’t been given the ammunition by Sunak.
David Cameron visits Lviv, Ukraine, yesterday. 'All the party grandees thought it was a coup bringing back Cameron as Foreign Secretary, but that was never going to move the dial,' says a Boris ally Referring to tomorrow’s anniversary of Mordaunt’s starring moment in the King’s Coronation, one ally said that she wants to be remembered for her ceremonial sword, not a dagger in Sunak’s back: ‘She knows she will never be leader if she is seen knifing him.’
