Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
Interesting development
Quote:
Boris Johnson is expected to campaign for the Conservatives in red wall seats before the general election after a thawing in relations with Rishi Sunak.

The former prime minister is likely be deployed in the north of England and the Midlands as the Tories seek to win back the voters who helped Johnson to an 80-seat majority in 2019.

Johnson accused Sunak of betrayal after he was forced out of Downing Street in 2022 and the two men fell out further last year over Johnson’s resignation honours list.

However, relations have improved significantly since then after talks between Johnson’s team and No 10. Last month Sunak and Johnson issued a joint statement on the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Johnson allies and senior government sources confirmed that the former prime minister was expected to play a significant role in the general election campaign.

They said he was likely to visit marginal constituencies, make speeches and appear on leaflets. “If there is a way he can help that is right for him and for the party he will,” a source familiar with Johnson’s thinking said.
