Nadine Dorries said it was time to bring back Boris Johnson and this response was A++

Poke Staff. Updated October 17th, 2022

Things are obviously really bad right now for Liz Truss and the Conservative party but it turns out it’s even worse than we thought after former cabinet minister Nadine Dorries – you remember – said it was time to bring back Boris Johnson.

There is no unity candidate.

No one has enough support.

Only one MP has a mandate from party members and from the British public – a mandate with an 80 seat majority.@BorisJohnson

The choices are simple – back Liz, if not bring back Boris or face a GE within weeks.

But surely no-one said it better than Henry Hill, deputy editor of the ConservativeHome website.

BBC host asks guests not to laugh while she reads Dorries's tweet asking for Johnson to be brought back.
