he jacks in the MP job
I think he would be very lucky to retain his Uxbridge seat if he stood there in a future election.
I canvassed for the Labour candidate there (Ali Milani ) in 2019 and I can say that if anyone but Corbyn had been Labour leader Johnson's majority (7,000 approx.) would have been much smaller.
There's been quite a bit of water under the bridge since then!

If the Tory party has any sense they'll do what Labour did to Corbyn and purge Johnson from the party. They will be able to find any number of serious rules he has broken.
I think it's more likely that (assuming he really does quit on September 5) he jacks in the MP job to do something more lucrative (Fox News?) to get himself out of his deep financial hole.
