I don't think myself there is a large number who'd want him back as leader again.
The baggage he has remains, I'd also feel pretty sure this independent public investigation into the pandemic is going to be very critical of his dealing with same.
I have next to no doubt he will not be quiet and from behind the scenes he may well be king or Queen maker even working against Truss if he decides to do another u turn of his allegiances.
However, if she loses big in the next election which I still don't see yet myself, I don't think she can turn it around now enough to win but she could lose only moderately .
If the loss was big, then the Cons are in the same place they were when Johnson was forced out.
With no real standout candidate.
Then it may be possible they'd look at turning to Johnson again to try to bring things back to winning a general election after such a loss.
Which is another reason why I hope Starmer and Labour will adopt a PR policy for elections.
Which yes, would ensure Labour couldn't ever likely govern alone again.
However the prize being the Cons would have to drop all its extreme elements and also would not ever be able to govern alone again.
With grossly inflated overall majorities for a minority of voters votes cast.
