To have a chance of taking the lead in the Conservative Party and then eventually the British government, Boris Johnson, back from his Caribbean holiday, must have the support of 100 Conservative MPs. There are currently 357 deputies cakes including 148 who voted against Johnson in a confidence vote earlier in the year.

Three months after his departure due to a succession of scandals, those close to Boris Johnson highlight the legitimacy that his electoral victory gives him at the end of 2019.

His opponents sharpen their swords, and remember the succession of lies and embarrassing cases of the three years of his mandate, which have left deep traces. Some Conservative MPs are even warning they will resign if Johnson returns.

Earlier in the day on Friday, Penny Mordaunt was the first to formalize her candidacy to succeed Liz Truss.
