Tory minister calls for Boris Johnson to make shock comeback into government
A TORY minister has called for Boris Johnson to make a shock comeback into government.
Andrew Griffith suggested the ex-PM could be a secret weapon in taking on Sir Keir Starmer in an election campaign.
Mr Griffith told LBC: “Boris is a great voice. I hope we’ve got many great voices.
“And we desperately need to get the message out that it is not a good time to go back to square one.
“So come back anybody who’s got a strong voice who can call out the danger of Keir Starmer.”
Allies of the ex-PM want Rishi Sunak to give Johnson a peerage so he can brought into the Cabinet like David Cameron.
Earlier this week Mr Sunak told ITV he “worked well” with his predecessor.
He said: “I’m proud of the work that we did together.
“And we worked well together for a long time.”
But he added: “In the end there are well-documented differences.”
