    Has he joined the party. Nope.

    Has he gained some recent boost in support indicating he may choose the parties ability to rule.

    No.

    Is he talking out of his arse in some desperate attempt to seem relevent. Ah yeah thats the one.

      He was at the tory party conference dancing with Priti Patel. He withdrew brexit party candidates in tory seats. Rishi Sunak has said he’d be welcomed into the party. Jaco Smogg mentioned a red carpet. He’s popular with the base.

      But I doubt he’d ever manage to become an elected MP. Suspect kingmaking and meddling is more his style. Far less work and you don’t actually have to get your hands dirty.

        Not sure we are really disagreeing.

        My point was more. If you are claiming to one day lead a party. You have not made the minimal effort to join. You really don’t have any GAS about that party. Just your own reputation.
