'I can't have a liar in parliament': Public share their thoughts on leadership contest
After Boris Johnson returned to the UK amid speculation that he could run for Tory leader again, members of the public have been sharing their thoughts on the Tory leadership race.
One person from Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, said while they would like to see a general election, they would prefer Rishi Sunak rather than Boris Johnson to be the country's next prime minister.
She said: "I'm not too sure why I want Rishi but I know why I don't want Boris. He's been in before and I didn't like what he did.
"He's not a competent leader and he shouldn't be allowed to come into power again."
Meanwhile another person, from Durham, added: "I can't have a liar in parliament. I just can't have it."

//'It has to be Rishi Sunak,' Tory MP says
There are many good reasons why Boris Johnson would be the "wrong choice" for the Conservative Party's leadership race, Tory MP Greg Hands has said.
Mr Hands said he was among a number of MPs who urged the former prime minister to resign earlier this year and he had "no reason to have any more confidence today that he could put together an effective government".
"People forget quickly. I don't. I was with Boris late on the evening of 6 July. He offered me Northern Ireland secretary (a position not to be thrown around lightly), if I could just show the world he could indeed form a government," he said.
"I think he would have offered me almost anything. I refused. Indeed, as we sat there, more resignations of junior ministers, whips and PPSs were coming in.
"I told him he had to resign, as he couldn't form a government. Doubtless others said the same. The next morning, he duly did resign.
"I have no reason to have any more confidence today that he could put together an effective government.
"Some of my colleagues think he could win a 2024 general election. But if you can't form a workable, effective and stable government, you'll never get to 2023, let alone 2024.
"There are many other good reasons why Boris would be the wrong choice. But being elected the leader of the largest party in parliament, but without being able to form a stable government, would be a new set of circumstances which could lead to constitutional crisis and early general election in chaotic circumstances.//
What a pathetic creature and sad toady picture painted of Johnson.
Good to see the odd Tory has some integrity, decency and honesty.

TOGO, I suggested a minimum of 120 nominations on another thread and you said, "If it had been 120 "votes", as has been idiotically suggested, then only Boris could have been elected because no one else in the ranks could garner any such support."
The spreadsheet on the Guido Fawkes website shows Sunak has 125 supporters and Johnson has seventy-two.
