Worth noting he isn't always asking people when adding them to the list: https://twitter.com/CWhittaker_MP/st...92419554693120

For clarity my name appeared on @GuidoFawkes last night as a supporter of the @BorisJohnson campaign. At NO POINT have I contacted Guido. As DCW I have to maintain the integrity, authority and impartiality of the office. Correction from Guido expected and appreciated

He isn't that popular. He had dire approval ratings when he left. But he is popular with the Tory base which is why he'll probably win.

I agree though he is the easiest answer to the calls for an election.
