Johnson might leave politics after his resignation

In the grand surroundings of Chequers (a 16th-century government-owned mansion that’s the official country residence of the UK prime minister) that were enjoyed by 19 of his predecessors, Boris Johnson is considering his political future, The Telegraph wrote in an article, Report informs.

The Prime Minister has retreated with his wife Carrie and their two children to the 16th-century grace-and-favor home in the Buckinghamshire countryside that they will soon lose the privilege of using.

After a week that saw his own MPs and Cabinet revolt and force him from office, Boris Johnson is now thinking of leaving politics altogether.

Following a run of by-election defeats in southern Tory seats, Johnson has decided he cannot force a by-election in his marginal constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

But two well-placed sources said he is now deciding whether to follow in the footsteps of his immediate predecessor, Theresa May, and remain in the Commons, or to stand down at the next election.

Johnson has taken the betrayal of many of his own ministers “in sorrow, not in anger”, and is described by aides as mournful he cannot finish the job he set out to achieve in 2019.

Now, he may instead choose to return to the writing and after-dinner speaking that provided him with a lucrative income before he joined the Tory front bench in 2016.

The moment of defeat came on Thursday morning, when Johnson finally acknowledged he could not fight off the rebels trying to destroy his government and accepted that he had been forced to resign.
