There has been speculation that the former prime minister might help whip up support for the Conservatives as they languish in the polls.
Rishi Sunak has signalled that the door is open for Boris Johnson to hit the campaign trail for the Tories.
Mr Sunak’s Wednesday announcement of the summer polling day fuelled questions over what role his 2019 election-winning Downing Street predecessor might play in the campaign. A spokesman for Mr Johnson did not comment on his plans for the campaigning period, telling the PA news agency: “Boris Johnson is, as always, strongly supporting the Conservatives and encourages everybody to do the same.”
“And when it comes to Boris he was of course the person who got Brexit done, ensured we had the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe and was the first to make sure that we provided support to Ukraine.
