Johnson is a loser who has by his own volition cut and run from parliament (Getty Images)

Jacob Rees Mogg has suggested that Boris Johnson could “easily get back into parliament” at the next election, presumably by displacing an existing Tory MP from what is perceived to be a “safe seat”. There must be one somewhere?

His party can facilitate that; but why would they? They are already factionalised, fighting like rats in a sack, and the public is well aware of their disunity. Johnson is a loser who has by his own volition cut and run from parliament.

How exactly would his reintroduction to parliament prove advantageous to a Tory party likely to be significantly reduced in number at the next general election? His lies can no longer not turn them into winners. From his party’s perspective, looking for a good reason for his return is rather like trying to identify a Brexit benefit. Both are a mistake requiring correction.
