In one return a la Berlusconi he hopes Boris Johnsonforced to resign by MPs, according to former minister Rory Stewart, who warned that “there are people who want him back.”

Speaking to the Guardian, Stewart, who ran against Johnson in the 2019 Conservative leadership election, said people should remember that Johnson was forced to resign after a series of scandals.

Mr Stewart called Mr Johnson “dangerous”. “I think we need to remind people why he left. He should have left much, much sooner. What he did was very shameful and dangerous,” he said.

The former UK international development secretary expressed concern that Mr. Johnson might try to return to the front lines of politics, comparing him to other politicians who have lost power: “He is trying to imitate Imran Khan or Berlusconi. He will wander around, hoping for a populist comeback, ”he stressed.

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, 85, has indicated his desire to return to politics in elections next month, while former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has set his sights on a comeback months after losing parliamentary confidence.

But some of Johnson’s supporters are convinced those who opposed him will regret it. A former adviser to Mr Johnson said he could try to emulate Churchill, who served two different terms as prime minister.

“He agrees with most Tories that Liz is likely to bring disaster,” the same source said, according to Giardian, adding that Ms Truss could face a leadership challenge herself ahead of the next election. “A revitalized and perhaps more contrite Boris that will offer optimism after a deep darkness may appeal to MPs and MPs alike,” the same source added.

Another government source cited by the Guardian believes that Johnson will initially “focus on developing his international image and not on the Westminster Games”, but will not completely disappear from the domestic political scene, waiting for the slightest opportunity to return to the premiership.
