Michael Howard – 2022 Comments on Boris Johnson Returning as Prime Minister

The comments made by Michael Howard, the Leader of the Conservative Party between 2003 and 2005, on LBC on 20 October 2022.

I really don’t think we can afford to go back to that psychodrama. Boris [Johnson] had his chance and he failed to retain the confidence of Conservative Members of Parliament. That I’m afraid, for all his undoubted talents, I think that has to be bad in terms of Boris Johnson and the leadership of the Conservative Party.
