Johnson could make comeback as Red Wall MP – Telegraph
"There is an acceptance among senior Tory strategists that he could lose his Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat."
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician and writer serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 2016-2018 and Mayor of London 2008-2016. Johnson has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and was previously MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.
"There is an acceptance among senior Tory strategists that he could lose his Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat."
At least he stayed on-brand.
"It's a deeply unpleasant propaganda video and bears no relation to reality", Margaret Thatcher's former aide wailed.
The departing prime minister’s customary award of peerages is likely to provoke controversy, with even his dad mentioned.
Speaking in Downing Street for the final time as Prime Minister, Mr Johnson said: ‘Like Cincinnatus, I am returning to my plough.’
"If you are curious about Boris Johnson's reference to Cincinnatus in his goodbye speech - he was a 5th century BC Roman politician who saved the state from an invasion, then - job done - returned to his farm ('to his plough'). He was also an enemy of the people."
A highlight of his career!
