Agreed. He might be playing games, or testing the water in his constituency, or drawing the fire early to identify voters' objections to him, with a view to addressing them at the election.
Either way, it looks like he is thinking of attempting a comeback.

Or attention seeking or keeping himself in the media.
He will certainly go for it unless that committee thing ends up really bad for him. I hope it does.
Worst ever defeat for the Tories in this seat. One they used to hold.

I went to Lancing College in the 1970s (my dad was a diplomat so the taxpayer paid). Although there were some totally nice and normal pupils there was a prevailing view that we were superior to everyone else either due to our intelligence or the hard work of our parents. I think that may still predominate. The school’s efforts to get us to understand the world outside were that every year some pupils spent a week at comprehensive in Camberwell living with local families. They formally reported back as if they had been on safari re-inforcing all the stereotypes.
Politically it was viewed as a universal truth that unionised industries were a haven for the workshy and that Dennis Healey was Satan. We had an elite who looked and acted very much like Johnson and the thought that they might rule the country horrifies me now and would have horrified me then. For some reason I never bought the idea of superiority and I think I was instinctively a socialist before I really knew what that meant. I always felt much more comfortable when I got on a bus and stood in the North Stand than I ever did at school.

Well, the 179 voters who ticked their box must have understood this.
I, for one, didn't realise they were still going.

First and foremost, we need a Full Brexit, in which we recover our sovereign independence in all parts of the UK and in our seas as well as on land. The EU has learned nothing from its defeat in 2016. It has positioned itself as an unrelenting enemy of the UK, using the Withdrawal Agreement as a punishment weapon to 'décourager les autres' (i.e., other EU members tempted to follow our example). There is no chance of any reasonable deal with Brussels. We would therefore be prepared to scrap the whole Withdrawal Agreement in the face of continued EU intransigence.

Won't he try and swap to mad nads seat when she gets put in the Lords? Uxbridge 5k majority,It’s on!
Another Portillo moment in 2024!
Boris Johnson: Former PM announces plans to stand at next election
The former prime minister says he will run for re-election as MP for Uxbridge and Ruislip in west London.www.bbc.co.uk
The ****ing pig thinks it can get back the Torty leadership after Sunak inevitably loses the election!
Let’s see the pig roasted like Portillo was in ‘96. The swing needed to remove this tosser from his London seat is not that significant. This could be the best election moment of all time!
