Tory Leadership contest 2022

The best thing about the phantom leadership contest in early June was that Hunt managed to alienate lots of his colleagues and now has much-reduced chances.
 
it really wouldn't surprise me if Boris tried to run yet again

But, he will not anyway, because it would not get into the final two.

 
Granted it was a while ago and the rules have changed since, but Major resigned as leader then ran in and won in the subsequent leadership election
