Lise Truss was UK Prime Minister for only 45 days. In the UK, there are no rules prohibiting Boris Johnson from running again for the post of prime minister.
This Channel 24 was told by a Voice of America journalist from London Bogdan Tsyupin. He also noted that in order to be a participant in these competitions, one needs the support and recommendation of at least 100 members of parliament from the Conservative Party.
According to the journalist, now everything is developing in such a way that it is unlikely that Johnson will be able to get the desired number of recommendations.
Will support for Ukraine weaken
Of course, the UK is not going to change course, and even the opposition Labor Party is in favor of all-round support for Ukraine, Tyupin is convinced.
But, according to him, one can draw a logical conclusion – if this country continues to be so unstable, then there will be fewer resources to help Ukraine.
Despite fierce disputes within the country and even within the ruling Conservative party, Ukraine should not worry about all-round support from the UK.

Will the Conservatives stay in power
All the disputes that British politicians are busy with only concern domestic political and economic processes, and in particular Britain's relations with the European Union. The issue of supporting Ukraine today is not the subject of these disputes, which, for example, would require some compromises not in our favor.
Moreover, British Defense Minister Ben Wallace is one of the main supporters of Ukraine within the party . He is unlikely to submit his candidacy for the post of prime minister, however, he is not going to leave the post of defense minister yet, which in general also reassures.
