Boris Johnson: Tories are in worse position than when I was PM
Boris Johnson has said the Tories are in a worse position than when he was prime minister, but believes they still have time to win the next general election. Tories in “Red Wall” seats reportedly regret ousting Mr Johnson, who won the 2019 election with a landslide majority, and suggested he could make inroads where Mr Sunak could not. Mr Johnson declared the Government had made the right decision when it held a vote on Tuesday on the Rwanda Bill, which would bar “systemic” legal challenges claiming Rwanda is unsafe for asylum seekers. And we’ve got a very difficult legal, very complicated legal situation but we have to push on.” The regretful Red Wall A survey published by YouGov found that Mr Sunak’s popularity among voters has fallen to its lowest level since he became Tory leader. YouGov said Mr Sunak’s score was similar to Boris Johnson’s during his final months in office but still better than Liz Truss’s low of minus 70.
