Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a surprise appearance at a Conservative party rally, urging supporters not to presume victory in the upcoming general election. Despite polls showing a potential landslide victory for Labour over PM Rishi Sunak’s Tories, Johnson warned against underestimating the opposition leader Keir Starmer and his party’s left-wing agenda.
Labour’s consistent lead in recent polls reflects dissatisfaction with the Tories’ governance, prompting concerns among party members. Johnson’s absence in the campaign highlights internal party conflicts, with former finance minister Sunak facing speculation of a historic defeat.
