Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has revealed to GB News whether he would make a political comeback, after admitting that the Conservatives are in a "tough spot".

In an exclusive interview with Patrick Christys, Johnson said: "I'm not convinced I am in a position to do that at the moment.

"Our party is in a tough spot. As Kemi [Badenoch] has said, we always knew going into these local elections and it wasn't going to be brilliant. Everybody knew that was coming.

"And I think one thing, Kemi is a very interesting and original mind. I think she's probably the most original thinker of the current crop of leaders by a long, long way. And I think she just needs time to get going."
