'We've seen him jet from Britain to Rwanda, to Bavaria, but one place he seems to be increasingly resident in is Cloud Cuckoo Land.' Boris Johnson's former advisor Tim Montgomerie shoots down the prospect of a third term as PM. CamillaTominey | montie
Boris Johnson is "completely delusional" and "resident in cloud cuckoo land" if he thinks he's going to serve a third term, according to one of his former advisors.
The warning came from Tim Montgomerie, a Conservative campaigner who had served on the PM's Downing Street team. It came after Mr Johnson told journalists he is "thinking actively" about a third term as Prime Minister, during a visit to Rwanda.He added: "We've seen the Prime Minister in the last few days jet from Britain to Rwanda, to Bavaria, but one place he seems to be increasingly resident in is cloud cuckoo land. That's the place where he seems to spend most of his time.
"He gave a talk to Tory donors earlier this week where he said, 'we're cutting taxes, we're cutting regulation, we're controlling immigration, we're taking advantages of the opportunities of Brexit'. "They looked at each other and they said 'who is he trying to convince? Is he trying to convince himself because we certainly know he's not doing any of these things'.Mr Montgomerie added the Prime Minister will be "gone" as soon as "an alternative emerges" within the Conservative Party.
