He’s said numerous times that he doesn’t want to be PM. He may be lying, but it would possibly damage his credibility if he ever were to do it. I also doubt he’d want to go anywhere near the position whilst Brexit goes on.

An interesting read ,and by the sounds of it a fine man.Thank you Rob.
I don’t support his politics , but I would not say he is lying . He chooses his words carefully .He’s said numerous times that he doesn’t want to be PM. He may be lying, but it would possibly damage his credibility if he ever were to do it.
‘I think want is very much the wrong word,’ he said in an interview .
He went on to say , 'If you look at Mrs May, it seems to be quite clear she does it because it’s her duty to do it, I don’t get the impression that it’s a lot of fun for her - it’s hard work.
‘I’ve got six children, it would be very, very difficult as a family man so want is not the right word, I’m very happy as a backbencher and what I do want is Mrs May to stay Prime Minister.’

He did say “no” directly in an interview with Kay Burley, however. But you’re right, he could always bid for it out of “duty” than because he wanted to, as he has always been careful to distinguish between the two.
