Boris Johnson returning as Prime Minister would fill Scots with 'revulsion'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A Boris Johnson comeback as Prime Minister would cause a “wave of revulsion” across Scotland, the SNP’s Westminster leader has said.The former prime minister is reported to be jetting back from the Caribbean to stand for the Tory leadership after Liz Truss quit.

Johnson has not announced plans to stand, but is believed to have the backing of dozens of MPs, including Cabinet Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg.He quit in disgrace earlier this year over the partygate scandal and criticism of his handling of sexual harassment allegations against an MP.

Blackford attacked the ex-Tory leader, calling instead for a general election to be held.A candidate to be next Tory leader must secure the support of 100 Tory MPs by 2pm on Monday.

A maximum of three MPs would be able to meet this threshhold.- If only one candidate receives this level of backing, he or she will become Tory leader and the next PM.- If all three candidates make the cut, a vote of MPs will take place between 3.30pm and 5.30pm on Monday, with the person in third place dropping out.- If two candidates are left in the race, there will be an indicative vote of all Tory MPs between 6.30pm and 8.30pm on Monday to show who is the most popular candidate among members of parliament.- If the second placed candidate stays in the race after the indicative vote, 180,000 party members will vote online on Friday October 28th, with the result announced on the same day.“We’ve got a Conservative Government that is out of touch and, if I may say so, out of time,” he told BBC Radio Scotland on Friday.“As we are discussing this this morning there’s real concern that the Tories might want to foist Boris Johnson back onto us again – I think there will be a wave of revulsion throughout
