liz truss on the country and only six weeks ago, 70% of the country wanted him out including a majority of tory voters. now, there s no evidence that those voters have changed their mind but what s also clear is that it s the same old boris. in his mind, he s done nothing wrong, he s unrepentant and he wouldn t do anything differently. and he won t do anything differently if he s re elected. but i think the school of thought is there s no unity candidate and boris supporters blame rishi sunak for the events that happened in the summer, and rishi sunak s supporters will never support boris johnson. so the truth is, there is a stand off and there is a question about can someone come through the middle and win that? i think the blunt reality of this is there s no favourite candidate and whoever wins this election in a week s time, it will lead to disunity that already exists and i expect the only result of that is probably a general election ahead of when it s supposed to happen. that
but in boris case, if he can get to second, i suspect he thinks he can win because what happens is it goes to the membership and i think this is a membership that elected liz truss. borisjohnson, to a certain extent, is still the darling of that membership and if he can get to second, he thinks he can win the thing. so that s the simple answer. i think the other more complicated answer is that because he hates losing, i think one of the things in boris mind that he ll be considering is that there s a 31% gap between labour and the tories at the moment. he will inherit a cost of living crisis that he has to own and, you know, he and the tory hierarchy know that their private polling is probably even worse than the public polling and they face annihilation at a general elections. so he will be thinking, is it worth it for me to potentially go and lose that election? so i don t think it s a given that he ll stand but i suspect that he s under a lot of pressure to stand, and if he thinks
