Isn't it odd that Sunak and Johnson have so far said nothing?

'Difficult to see' how Boris Johnson could be PM amid partygate controversy, Raab says.
It is "difficult to see" how Boris Johnson could become prime minister again when he is "absorbed and distracted" by the issues surrounding partygate, former deputy PM Dominic Raab has said.
Speaking to Sky News this morning, Mr Raab said he was "confident" Mr Sunak would run in the Tory leadership race and was the "standout candidate" among the field.
It went on:
Mr Raab went on to say that while he was "fond" of Boris Johnson and "respected him hugely", the issues surrounding partygate could leave him "distracted".
He said: "The big challenge for Boris is within days of a new prime minister being announced next Friday, the committee on standards and privileges is going to start taking testimony on partygate. That's going to involve witnesses.
"It will I assume have to involve him giving oral evidence and we need a prime minister that is focused relentlessly and consistently with a laser-like focus on the issues facing the country and I think it's very difficult to see how Boris could be prime minister if he is absorbed and distracted by all of that.
"And I say that as someone who thinks he could make a return to frontline politics and who has backed him and is personally very found him."
Strange though that he never piped up once as Deputy PM after Partygate?
Typical SSS, Self-Serving Sycophant.

//If Johnson has any unselfish brain cells and he sees Sunak way ahead with support he should not put himself forward for the sake of party unity. I can't see it happening.//
You’re talking about an oafish clown who would make Narcissus blush.
It’s the Johnson Show, as JRM aka Lord Frackenshire says, Boris or Bust.
I’m actually enjoying the circus that the Tories have become in the last 6 weeks, though it’s not even vaguely funny for the electorate.

He will put himself forward, and if it goes to the party membership (ie the idiots that gave us Truss), he is likely to win, resulting in another two years of chaos in Parliament.
Dear god, as if we're not enough of a worldwide laughing stock already.

TTT, as i understand it, once the final 2 have been sorted, if one is way out in front, it is hoped the other will drop out then there will be no need to burden you members. However, if it's down to Sunak and Johnson, i doubt very much the latter will step down, so you and your mates will get to decide. Just as you did with Truss!
