Johnson had too much luggage to get off to a clean start.
People have seen the film, but Johnson was forced to resign in July after the scandal weighed on him and the resignation of more than 50 cabinet ministers and aides, saying that Johnson was unfit for leadership. was broken.
A sequel, or “Johnson 2.0” as the British press called it, could not have escaped the original plot.
For starters, he was still facing a perilous investigation in Congress over whether he lied to lawmakers about the coronavirus lockdown party at 10 Downing Street. This is a serious accusation that could lead to him being slammed or worse, and a constant reminder that he was ousted as party leader and prime minister in July, making headlines for months. There is a possibility.

Northern Ireland minister Steve Baker, an influential figure among the party’s right wing, said Johnson was “destined to implode” and would be a “guaranteed disaster”.
Baker said Johnson is not someone who likes “boring rules” and now is “not the time for Boris and his style.”

Johnson’s supporters said “he made big decisions right”, “he learned from his mistakes” and “repents”.
A majority of Britons say they want a general election, even though it won’t be needed until January 2025. Elections were held today. A petition calling for a general election “to end the chaos of the current administration” quickly gathered more than 850,000 signatures.
Johnson’s former prime minister, Nadim Zahawi, said he would back his ex-boss “who made the right important decisions” and argued that “the UK needs him back”.
