Mr Griffith told LBC: “Boris is a great voice. I hope we’ve got many great voices.

“And we desperately need to get the message out that it is not a good time to go back to square one.

“So come back anybody who’s got a strong voice who can call out the danger of Keir Starmer.”

Allies of the ex-PM want Rishi Sunak to give Johnson a peerage so he can brought into the Cabinet like David Cameron.

Earlier this week Mr Sunak told ITV he “worked well” with his predecessor.

He said: “I’m proud of the work that we did together.

“And we worked well together for a long time.”

But he added: “In the end there are well-documented differences.”
