Boris Johnson returned to Britain on Saturday as he considers an audacious attempt to win a second term as prime minister only weeks after he was forced to step down, with some colleagues warning his comeback could create more political chaos.
Thomson ReutersFormer British prime minister Boris Johnson arrives at Gatwick Airport in London on Saturday, after travelling on a flight from the Caribbean following the resignation on Thursday of Liz Truss as prime minister. Potential candidates to replace Truss are spending the weekend lobbying to secure enough nominations to enter the leadership contest before Monday's deadline.
Johnson, who was on holiday in the Caribbean when Truss resigned, has not commented publicly about a bid for his old job. He has received the support of dozens of Conservative lawmakers but needs to secure 100 nominations to be considered. The Sunday Times reported Sunak and Johnson could meet late on Saturday, without giving details on the planned discussions.
