DISGRACED Boris Johnson could return to No10 in an astonishing plot hatched by warring Tory MPs.

Twelve plan to submit no-confidence letters in Liz Truss - set to become new PM tomorrow - and want a leadership vote by Christmas. One Tory said: "Liz is not very bright." Another added: "Our only chance is with Boris." 

TORY MPs are plotting to ditch Liz Truss even before she gets the keys to No10, claiming she is the WORST person for the job.

Around a dozen Boris Johnson supporters are conspiring to trigger yet another Tory leadership contest in a bid to bring him back.

 

As removals men yesterday continued to load up the PM’s possessions, one top Tory said: “MPs are ready to put letters of no confidence in as early as this week. Liz Truss is not very bright, has poor judgment, little empathy with people and sees everything in money terms. In the worst of times she’s the worst possible choice for PM.”

But the rebellion was branded insane by other Tories. One said: “This is madness. The country won’t wear 160,000 Conservative members choosing another PM, especially a retread. We’ll end up with a general election.”

The ding-dong continued as a source close to the conspiracy countered: “That’s fine by us. Our only chance of winning one is with Boris at the helm.”
