Boris Johnson makes triumphant return to Conservative front line

‘There is still time between now and Thursday for the nation to swerve from the cliff edge,’ Daily Mail columnist Mr Johnson wrote on Friday. ‘We can collectively come to our senses. We can dodge the bullet.’ ‘The scale of the ‘hovering pencil’ cohort means the outcome is nowhere near as definitive as some of the commentary has suggested.’ He said those toying with a vote for Reform to send a message to the Conservatives should consider whether ‘the message you are looking to send, is worth five, 10, 15 years of hard Labour?’  ‘But if you want to protect our democracy and our economy and keep this country strong abroad by spending 2.5 per cent of our GDP on defence which Labour still refuses to commit to, then you know what to do, don’t you, everybody?

The PM – who is currently spending his last hours of campaiging on a whirlwind tour across the UK in a bid to gain 130,000 extra votes – told undecided voters they had ’48 hours to save Britain from a Labour government’.

Yet Tory strategists brought the former PM back into the spotlight, hoping he could electrify a flagging campaign and galvanise former Conservative voters to keep the faith when they head to the polls on tomorrow.

Mr Johnson, who led the Tories to a landslide victory in 2019 against Jeremy Corbyn, added: ‘They can achieve nothing in this election except to usher in the most left-wing Labour government since the war with a huge majority, and we must not let it happen.

If you want uncontrolled immigration and mandatory wokery, and pointless kowtowing to Brussels again, then go right ahead, make my day, vote for Starmer. The model, based on polling data from more than 30,000 voters, forecast the Tories would be reduced to just 64 seats in the House of Commons.It means the Tories would scrape into being the official Opposition, with the Lib Dems predicted to win 61 seats.

The survey of more than 30,000 people, predicted that Labour will win a record 484 seats, with the Conservatives reduced to a rump of just 64, narrowly ahead of a rejuvenated Lib Dems on 61. Reform could get 16 per cent of the vote but win just seven seats, the poll found. ‘And yet Starmer’s own approval ratings are shockingly low – the lowest ever for an Opposition leader on the verge of entering Downing Street, let alone of a triumph on the scale currently predicted.
