I considered that possibility. But I discarded it for several reasons:
1. LT would have to be prepared to commit political suicide. (although there could have been a promise in the pipeline.)
2. LT would have to be convinced of its success. (There is no guarantee of success, nor of BJ keeping his word.)
3. It would need the cooperation of the party members (to elect LT).
4. It would need the cooperation of a majority of the Tory MPs (then why force him to resign in the first place?)
5. Why not just nominate BJ on his own?
The privileges committee can find him guilty, and recommend a sanction, such as suspension. Whether or not that is taken up is decided by a vote in the commons.
If Boris does manage to do the impossible and get his old job back, would the Commons realistically vote to bring the hole house of cards tumbling down all over gain again?
If he's not PM then yes he'd likely be suspended and lose his seat.

But it should be un tenable.
Nobody else in any responsible position would be allowed back to the same position for the same issues, so why should the PM position be allowed.
As a remainer he would say that wouldnt he.
Until a party that believes in Brexit is elected this kind of bitching is going to run and run.

No surprise for those comments from you Gant.
We have had brexit, Boris got brexit done ! Its over. We are out. Nobody is seeking support via a re entry system of any sort.
But at least you realise brexit is and was a real bad move. What a position to leave us in
Looks like Johnson has not found 100.
"Boris Johnson was on Sunday desperately seeking more Conservative MPs to support his comeback bid, as he tried to secure the 100 nominations needed to enter the ballot to become Britain’s next prime minister.
In a blow to Johnson, Suella Braverman, the Brexiter former home secretary, ruled herself out of running and gave her backing to Rishi Sunak, the former chancellor. “We, as a party, need to change,” Braverman wrote in the Daily Telegraph. “We need to provide leadership, stability and confidence to the British people. We cannot indulge in parochial or nativist fantasies.
She added: “I need a leader who will put our house in order and apply a steady, careful hand on the tiller. That person, for me, is Rishi Sunak.”
Talks on Saturday night between Johnson and Sunak, the former chancellor and frontrunner in the contest, did not result in any “deal” between the two contenders.

Sure you have your reasons for saying that.
Yes, I mean of course that Johnson is much more popular with people who have never met him.
Those whom he has let down and abused do not trust him.
So you think believing in Brexit more will make it a success
well you can think that. Don’t make it true.

Maggie said it doesn't much matter who runs the country.
About right, nobody's going to dig us out of this mire any time soon; it's going to be a slog. Starmer is hardly promoting any radical policies.
Thatcher probably never imagined the gross incompetence or moral dereliction, of the last two we've had.
Parris is a decent bloke, I would tend to respect his claim - it does make some sense.
Mordaunt - probably reasonable but we don't know her, would be a bit of a risk given recent experience. I'd say Sunak is the best of the bunch at the mo but the people doing the voting have a different motivation - their careers.
I have met Boris. Bombastic, insincere, trying clumsily to win everyone over all the time. A privileged boor.

If she couldn't manage to get through 45 days as pm and had to be removed that suggests she was not ok.
Labour and Tories are divided on Brexit throw in the civil servants and you have an half ars*d Brexit. If we had a party that believed in Brexit who knows what could be achieved.
