Urging the then PM to quit in July, ex-Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi said: “This is
not sustainable and it will only get worse. “I am heartbroken that he hasn’t
listened and is now undermining the incredible achievements of this government.”
Yet today Mr Zahawi claimed: “He was contrite & honest about his mistakes. He’d
learned from those mistakes how he could run No10 & the country better.” ● This
breaking news story is being updated. Boris Johnson’s statement in full The
former PM issued a statement tonight saying: “In the last few days I have been
overwhelmed by the number of people who suggested that I should once again
contest the Conservative Party leadership, both among the public and among
friends and colleagues in Parliament. “I have been attracted because I led our
party into a massive election victory less than three years ago – and I believe
I am therefore uniquely placed to avert a general election now. “A general
election would be a further disastrous distraction just when the government must
focus on the economic pressures faced by families across the country. “I believe
I am well placed to deliver a Conservative victory in 2024 – and tonight I can
confirm that I have cleared the very high hurdle of 102 nominations, including a
proposer and a seconder, and I could put my nomination in tomorrow. “There is a
very good chance that I would be successful in the election with Conservative
Party members – and that I could indeed be back in Downing Street on Friday.
“But in the course of the last days I have sadly come to the conclusion that
this would simply not be the right thing to do. You can’t govern effectively
unless you have a united party in parliament. “And though I have reached out to
both Rishi and Penny – because I hoped that we could come together in the
national interest – we have sadly not been able to work out a way of doing this.

“Therefore I am afraid the best thing is that I do not allow my nomination to go
forward and commit my support to whoever succeeds. “I believe I have much to
offer but I am afraid that this is simply not the right time.” All the MPs who
