Supporters of Rishi Sunak are deeply sceptical of Boris Johnson’s camp claiming he has the backing of more than 100 MPs.

They are demanding he publishes a list of those who are backing him.

The immediacy of the scepticism is a reminder of what a return to the fray by Johnson represents — passionate, full-throated enthusiasm from those behind him, and cynicism from those who aren't, including on the Conservative benches.

It is also striking that Johnson’s team say their claimed amount of support means he "could" be on the ballot — they are not yet definitively committing to a desire to be so, even if they do have the numbers.

He’s only likely to want to be on the ballot if he’s reasonably confident he can win.
