So I can’t find any press release or even tweet to support it but I was told that ... due to the new pressing situation (election incoming) that there will be some centralisation of the selection going on in Labour.
Combined with the recent 33% rule I think JC will be picking the party.
Tbf Blair did similar in order to win an election.
I think it'll be a contest of coalitions - if BXP and Tories have an agreement (and some are saying that this is a done deal) whilst Labour, LD and SNP don't then it'll be a Johnson win.
If Labour/LD/SNP manage to come to an agreement and campaign for something less confusing than Labour's "we'll get a better deal from Brussels and then campaign against it in a second referendum" AND the alliance of BXP and Tory drives the last of the centre-right away, then it'll be the end of Johnson (and maybe Keir Starmer as Prime Minister?)
