NADINE DORRIES: Without Boris, the Tories will die

It should be no surprise to anyone that the thing the Labour Party fears most is the return of Boris Johnson.

Enough of their MPs let that slip at the time he was being removed as Prime Minister and were unable to contain their delight.

And not just Labour MPs – the Remain media, too. We all witnessed the gleeful reaction of BBC presenter Martine Croxall the day Boris resigned.

He is the most impactful, charismatic, progressive and productive leader the Conservative Party has known since the days of Margaret Thatcher. The future of Conservative MPs rests in their own hands, and they have a simple question to ask themselves: do they want to remain as MPs or not?

It is an undeniable fact that with Boris at the helm, more would return to Westminster following a General Election than with any other individual leading the party. He is still our political rock star out on the streets. The Prime Minister who got every single big decision right, from personally driving the vaccine programme to arming the people of Ukraine and standing up to Vladimir Putin.

With Rishi in No 10, we are heading into the long, cold and brutal wasteland of thankless opposition.

For the Conservatives, it’s bring back Boris or die because the first task of any Labour government would be to ensure that there’ll never be a majority Conservative government ever again.
