He added: “It isn’t about ‘bring back Boris’, by the way. It is about party democracy. But it’s true that a lot of our members still like and rate Boris, as do many of the public, and given the scale of the challenge ahead we shouldn’t rule that out as an option longer term.”

Mr Campbell-Bannerman claimed that social gathering members are nonetheless not joyful about “the way that we got rid of Boris”.
