Boris Johnson WILL stand to be an MP again at the next election

BORIS Johnson has told his local Tory party he wants to stand again to be their MP at the next election.

The former PM has repeatedly insisted he wants to stay in politics despite being booted out earlier this summer – which could pave the way for another future leadership bid.

BoJo dramatically pulled out of the most recent leadership race paving the way for Rishi Sunak to become PM – despite having the 100 MP nominations needed to run.

But he can still pull out ahead of the poll, expected to be in 2024.

Boris told locals earlier this week that kicking him out had been a “mistake” and suggesting he could run again for the top job in future.

Richard Mills, the chairman of his local association, said yesterday: “Uxbridge and South Ruislip Conservative Association fully support Boris Johnson as our local MP and candidate at any future election.

“Since his re-election in 2019, he has delivered on his plans for redevelopment and modernisation of Hillingdon Hospital as well as increasing police numbers across Uxbridge.

“We look forward to continuing to work alongside him to deliver for the residents and communities within the constituency, where he has strong connections and involvement.”

All Conservative MPs have been told to confirm by Monday whether they want to run again ahead of the upcoming boundary review which will slash the number of seats down to 600.

At least a dozen Tories have said they will quit the Commons instead when the next election comes.
