<\/p>\n

Boris Johnson is being tipped to make a sensational return to Downing Street less than 18 months after being ousted as Prime Minister. And insiders believe an unprecedented team-up with former UKIP and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage – currently starring in I\u2019m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here – could even be on the cards.<\/p>\n

Rishi Sunak, the current occupant of Number 10, is under intense pressure over his plan to send failed asylum seekers to Rwanda, which the UK\u2019s Supreme Court has ruled to be illegal. Emergency legislation aimed at addressing the problem by ordering British judges and courts to ignore some sections of the UK Human Rights Act was published last week.<\/p>\n

However, this was not enough to prevent immigration minister Robert Jenrick from quitting last week. In his resignation letter, Mr Jenrick claimed the Government\u2019s emergency Rwanda legislation “does not go far enough\u201d.<\/p>\n

Insiders have told The Mail on Sunday patience is now wearing thin, with many Tory backbenchers convinced bringing back the man who led them to a thumping victory at the last general election is the only way to prevent a wipeout in the next one. The timing is awkward for Mr Sunak, as he gears for a crucial vote on the Rwanda Bill.<\/p>\n

Tories are also understood to have drawn up what is colloquially being referred to as an \u201cadvent calendar of s***\u201d to destabilise Mr Sunak after his decision to sacking Suella Braverman as Home Secretary. Backbenchers are ready to rebel in the Commons, with one plotter admitting the plan was to \u201ccrash\u201d the Sunak government.<\/p>\n

Panic is rife among Tory MPs with the party lagging behind Labour in the polls and apparently losing support to Reform UK, the successor the Brexit Party. Mr Farage\u2019s appearance on ITV\u2019s I\u2019m A Celebrity has also raised his profile significantly.<\/p>\n

Rebels reportedly see Mr Johnson as the only Conservative with the ability to shore up support in so-called Red Wall seats in the midlands and north, which he won four years ago. Alternatively, staunch Brexiteer Kemi Badenoch is being touted as another possible replacement for Mr Sunak.<\/p>\n

Number 10 insists Mr Sunak is ready to lead the Tories into next year\u2019s election. Meanwhile a spokesman for Mr Johnson distanced themselves from a Farage partnership, insisting: \u201cBoris Johnson is currently writing a book and is supporting the Government.\u201d Similarly, a source close to Mr Farage said any team-up with the former PM would \u201csoon end in tears\u201d although it is believed the pair have been urged to talk.<\/p>\n

Mr Johnson stood down as an MP earlier this year, but his supporters believe if one of their colleagues resigned prior to the election to make way for him, the party would be unable to block his candidacy. A leadership contest could then be triggered if a minimum of 53 letters of no confidence in Mr Sunak were submitted to 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady.<\/p>\n
