A Tory minister has made a bold call for former Prime Minister Boris Johnson to make a shock comeback into government. Andrew Griffith believes that Johnson's strong voice could be a secret weapon in taking on Sir Keir Starmer in an upcoming election campaign.
A Strong Voice Needed
Andrew Griffith, a Tory minister, recently expressed his desire for Boris Johnson to rejoin the government. During an interview with LBC, Griffith emphasized the importance of having many great voices, especially when it comes to countering the perceived dangers of Keir Starmer. He stated, "Boris is a great voice. I hope we've got many great voices. And we desperately need to get the message out that it is not a good time to go back to square one."
Allies Push for Peerage
Allies of Boris Johnson are reportedly advocating for him to receive a peerage from Rishi Sunak, allowing him to join the Cabinet, similar to former Prime Minister David Cameron. Rishi Sunak, the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, recently spoke about his working relationship with Johnson, expressing pride in their past collaboration but also acknowledging their well-documented differences.
