Boris jets in from holiday as Tory MPs to cast votes

Former PM's bid to return divides opinion among Conservatives

- TODD FITZGERALD

BORIS Johnson has returned to the UK to plot a bid to return as Prime Minister in a move that has divided opinion among Conservative MPs, including his former allies.

Mr Johnson arrived at Gatwick Airport yesterday morning with his family after breaking off a holiday in the Dominican Republic following Liz Truss's forced resignation on Thursday.

Sky News photographed the ex-prime minister and his wife Carrie Johnson in economy on an overnight British Airways flight back from the Caribbean with their children and said the MP received "one or two boos" as he boarded. Mr Johnson later waved to the press gathered outside the VIP exit to the South Terminal as he walked alone to a waiting Range Rover.
