YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWilliam Hague tells Times Radio Boris Johnson's return as Prime Minister would be lead to a "death spiral" for the Conservative Party.
Speaking to Cathy Newman on Drive, he said it was "the worst idea I've heard of in the 46 years I've been a member of the Conservative Party":
Hague: "I think it'd be a very, very bad idea to bring Boris Johnson back. The Conservative Party was doing pretty well until about 18 months ago as the government considering all the problems facing the country. And then things have unravelled spectacularly, including with this disastrous, latest six weeks. And this all started, this unravelling, because Boris Johnson was unable to run the government in the right way, to keep it together in the right way, to uphold the high standards of conduct that are necessary in the highest offices in the land. That's how it all started. Him returning is the solution? That would be going round in circles and that could become a death spiral of the Conservative Party. And I think it's possibly the worst idea I've heard of in the 46 years, I've been a member of the Conservative Party. There are good candidates. Obviously, as you probably recall, I was supported Rishi Sunak before and I will, very loudly, support him again, and he will be the best Prime Minister, particularly in this situation."
