Blasting the Smoking Ban

Boris Johnson has heavily criticized Rishi Sunak's smoking ban, labeling it as "absolutely nuts." The former PM expressed his disbelief at the Conservative party's decision to outlaw cigars, stating, "give me a break."

Defence Spending Concerns

During a conservative event in Ottawa, Boris Johnson also called for an increase in defence spending. He emphasized the need for a more robust posture due to the increasingly uncertain and dangerous world.

Mr. Johnson's remarks come as the UK government faces pressure to raise defence spending to above 2.5% of national income.

Potential Return to Campaign Trail

Speculation is rife that Boris Johnson could make a comeback to the campaign trail in the upcoming general election. This move aims to bolster the Conservative Party's chances, particularly in the "Red Wall" regions of the North and Midlands.

Rishi Sunak, in an interview with HOAR's politics show Never Mind the Ballots, expressed that Mr. Johnson would be welcomed to join the campaign efforts to secure a Conservative victory.
