The cynic in me thinks Boris's ego wouldn't take the loss. I bet he was waiting until over 100 MPs said they'd vote for him before he officially declares. I don't know if that's looking less likely now with Braverman and Badenoch declaring for Rishi.

Hopefully with less illegal weapons.
Yes, Boris brings out the worst of me in terms of attachment issues. Aw ... poor Boris. The man is a bleep. End of. Never forget that.I actually find it so sad how desperate he’s coming across, even though he hasn’t actually announced anything yet.
The votes being counted so far are mainly from MPs that have come out and said on social media platforms etc and informed the public who they are voting for so each of them could have more or less votes than we think it’s not 100% accurate. Mordaunt got just over 100 the last time she narrowly missed 2nd place.
hope we’re all #ready4rishi
Boris is out ... thank God for that.
Not boris cutting his holiday short for duck all 
we love to see it
we love to see it
So Boris tried to swindle them into working under him and they refused.
Why would Rishi accept that with a decent backing from MPs and half the country praying against Boris's return?
And LOL at him pulling out when he wasn't even bold enough to officially admit he was running.

Boris the narcissist making sure the others know he could have beat them he just doesn't want to 
Oh thank god hes out
fell on his arse we love to see it
Now the big test .... is JRM on his arse in the back benches?
That's my next big test for our new PM.
I bloody hope so! Vile racist and everything else man.Now the big test .... is JRM on his arse in the back benches?
That's my next big test for our new PM.
I feel like penny could get a good few more votes now seeing as boris has pulled out.
Didn't know Boris knew how to pull out considering how many kids he's got
To be honest I don't care between Rishi and Penny ... just wanted Boris nowhere near the top job again.
I came here to make a joke about it being the only successful thing he’d pulled out of
The coward couldn’t even bring himself to announce he was participating in the leadership race as he couldn’t bare the thought that he’d lose to Sunak. Fragile ego, much?
With it being clear that the lines in the sand have been drawn between Johnson and many of his former allies, creating a divide, hopefully this will put paid to any idea of him running for office again in the future, as he’s possibly made too many enemies now, and with the Tory party being as divided as they are currently, this has been a significant reason why Labour are steaming ahead in the polls so why would they employ a leader in the future, whose only going to further and deepen those divisions? However, the fact he’s said “it’s not the right time” indicates he’s very much looking for the right time to run again
.
I think many Bojo voters only voted in favour of him because they disliked the fact Rishi screwed him over by triggering the mass resignations. However, I can’t see many Boris voters opting for Penny so I think some Tory MPs will be “politically homeless” so to speak, as they won’t vote Penny as I imagine Boris appealed to right wing side of the Tory party whereas I think Penny and Rishi appeal to the more liberal side, but they won’t vote Rishi out of loyalty to Boris.

.I do hope so. Ideally, I’d like no Tory government, but I think she’s the best of a bad bunch and was the candidate who I felt had the most humility in the last leadership race. It helps her political career hasn’t been tainted by sleaze and scandal like Bojo and Rishi. In fact, I think I’ve seen more of Penny during Liz Truss’s reign as PM, than Truss herself.
