Guido thinks he has 72 verified backers. There are nearly 140 MPs with no known allegiance as of right now, it’s entirely possible that 28 of them are supporting Boris whilst having just enough self awareness to keep quiet about it.
The sensible wing of the party had better hope Rishi Sunak gets more than 50% of the support so it doesn’t go to the party membership. If it goes to the members, Boris is in with a shout, and if he gets it there’s a decent chance the parliamentary party will self destruct and force an election.
