I will be supporting him to return to the role of PM.” Speaking on Sky News, Green said of Johnson: “We saw what happened last time and how the government literally fell apart. “I am asking you for the opportunity to help fix our problems. I think he’d make an amazing chairman of the party … But the opportunities – if we make the right choice – are phenomenal,” he said. I mean, if he wants to come back as prime minister, he would need to do it after this privileges issue is settled. This was further fuelled on Sunday after Johnson tried to persuade Mordaunt to stand down and lend him her support, having tried to do the same with Sunak on Saturday night.

Former PM Johnson says “this is simply not the right time” to bid for a return to 10 Downing Street.

Johnson had always made clear he hoped to one day return as prime minister after being ousted back in July. “Boris Johnson delivered Brexit and the great vaccine roll-out,” Sunak said. But most observers believe Sunak is now firmly on course for Downing Street, just seven astonishing weeks after he was roundly defeated by Truss in the last Tory leadership contest. “You can’t govern effectively unless you have a united party in Parliament,” Johnson said. But he said the urgent need for party unity meant he would pull out of the race instead.

BBC political correspondent Nick Eardley points out that a lot of people will be paying attention to the last few words in Johnson’s statement last night. Contender Penny Mordaunt, who missed out on the last contest’s run-off by just eight votes, is now under pressure to concede rather than force the contest to a vote of members. She did not reveal anything about where her own bid stands, but this may signal that she is planning to get the backing of MPs who declared their support for Johnson: Angela Rayner, the deputy leader, said: “The Tories are about to hand the keys of the country to Rishi Sunak without him saying a single word about how he would govern. The person coming second (almost certainly Mordaunt) would be under pressure to withdraw at that point, although theoretically the decision could still go to a ballot of members, in which case we would not have a new PM until Friday. Former prime minister Boris Johnson has ended his bid to return to power within months of being ousted, claiming that although he had the numbers, he would not run to replace Liz Truss, who resigned as Conservative party leader on Thursday after just 45 days in office. That is the time when nominations close and Penny Mordaunt, the only other candidate still in the contest, is struggling to collect 100 names. It will be the first time since 1940 that a new PM has taken over for the second time since the previous general election. And it will be the first time since 1834 that the we’ve had three prime ministers in year. And it looks very, very likely that by the end of the day Rishi Sunak will be the next prime minister.

Rishi Sunak to become next British prime minister | CBC News (CBC.ca)

Rishi Sunak has won the race to be leader of Britain's Conservative Party and will become the nation's next prime minister — the third this year.

Sunak lost out to Truss in the last Conservative election, but his party and the country now appear eager for a safe pair of hands to tackle soaring energy and food prices, and a looming recession. The practice was legal, but it looked bad at a time when Sunak was raising taxes for millions of Britons. He was fined by police, along with Johnson and dozens of others, for attending a party in the prime minister's office in 2020 that broke coronavirus lockdown rules. Sunak was cleared of wrongdoing, but the revelations still hurt. In a series of tweets Sunday, he praised Johnson for delivering Brexit, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and his support of Ukraine as it fights Russia's invasion. Sunak has had his wobbles over the years. He also faced questions about his finances and those of his wife. But he was far behind Sunak in support, and said he had concluded that "you can't govern effectively unless you have a united party in Parliament." In Britain's 2016 Brexit referendum, he supported leaving the European Union. The Conservative Party turmoil is fuelling demands from the opposition parties for a national election. Sunak emerged over former leader Boris Johnson and Penny Mourdaunt in the truncated process to replace Liz Truss as leader. At 42, he'll also be the youngest British prime minister in more than 200 years.

Mr Sunak will be the fourth consecutive prime minister - after Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Ms Truss - to take power without a general election. Sources told the BBC that Mr Sunak and Mr Johnson met on Saturday as Tory MPs decided who to back in the second Tory leadership contest in four months. Ms Mordaunt took the leadership race to the wire but came under pressure to unite behind Mr Sunak after former Prime Minister Boris Johnson withdrew from the contest on Sunday. Mr Sunak - a 42-year-old practising Hindu - is expected to take office in the coming days now the result of the Tory leadership contest is known.
