One hundred MPs are now behind Boris Johnson’s possible return to 10 Downing Street, the BBC reports.
If the information from the BBC’s anonymous source is correct, it is about almost every third of the Tory Party’s 357 members of the British Parliament – and it is the support of 100 members that is required for him to be able to run for the post of party leader.
Earlier on Saturday, it was announced that former finance minister Rishi Sunak has secured the support of 100 members.
