Writing to my MP to get Boris to resign

I agree that Boris is a lying cheating twonk
But if he goes who would we get???
😱

There is no chance that Boris will resign. Zero.

What you SHOULD be writing to your MP about is demanding that they send a letter calling for a vote of no confidence. Only a deranged donkey could have confidence in Boris Johnson as the best leader if the country now. Less than 54 letters have been sent, out of 359 Conservative MPs. It’s pathetic and negligent: they are not representing the views of their constituents. This isn’t just about Boris Johnson, it’s about wherher the MPs work for us, or work for him.

Oh yeah he purged all the good ones and now we have a bunch of yes men loyalists where we should have representation.

And so democracy dies.

I loathe my local MP, but I don't think she is the type to have attended parties in lockdown.

I bet half the MPs you are writing too also attended those parties

Thankfully I have a decent Labour MP but if I lived in a Tory seat I'd be sending emails.

It's so important that we all do this. Though mine is JRM so please keep the pressure on me to do so and provide the response to fellow MNetters. The only positive I can say is he does respond and so far it's actually quite a personalised response. Had lots of conversations with him when he has been canvassing. Personally I like the challenge discussing with an MP with radically differing views, keeps it interesting!

Countries not font ties !!

According to bojo the people want him to get on with the important stuff like Ukraine which is yet another lie as the people pretty much want him to resign. I can’t believe other people have had to fall on their swords some for fairly minor reasons and he is there roughing it out. He also said the other font ties were judging us on our Covid success he is in la la land they think the Uk is a total joke. Sake

If you celebrate the public health housing and homelessness emergency, well then yes - asking for Rishi Sunak to replace Boris (because that's who the 1922 committee want) would be good. He did, afterall, do very well with further inflating the unsustainable house price bubble. If you dislike would be FTB and growing family upsizers (and the homeless), then Twelve Homes Sunak's your man.

Likewise if you support taking away £20 a week from struggling families and vulnerable individuals, whilst at the same time casually writing off billions of furlough fraud. Again, Rishi Silent But Deadly Sunak is just what you need.

My MP is labour and has been very vocal about how Boris has to resign, so it's pointless to contact her.

My old MP was Oliver Dowden - would have definitely contacted him if I still lived there! Hopefully lots of other people do.

I’ve still written to my MP because she actually is supposed to represent all constituents. I’ve said that we know he’s lying, and I wouldn’t trust the judgement of the conservatives in picking another leader and if he lies about this, what else does he lie about?

I know she will write some bullshit back, but better to speak up than say nothing.

I wrote to mine a couple of weeks ago. She said that she was waiting for Sue Gray, so I have emailed her again tonight to ask what her position is now. It won't make a blind bit of difference as she is very loyal to Boris, but I want to keep turning up the volume as much as possible.

Writing to mine would be completely pointless. I live in one of the safest Tory seats in the Midlands, and MP’s majority is several times bigger than Boris’s in Uxbridge. He knows his seat will always be safe whoever is leader so he doesn’t have to worry about Johnson’s unpopularity. He is an ambitious junior minister with his eyes on a seat in the cabinet so he is never going to rock the boat.

What a shit political system we have in this country.

My MP recently gave an interview locally saying none of his constituents had contacted him expressing the opinion that Mr Johnson should resign.

The report was followed by hundreds of comments all saying "yes, I did" .

He's a buffoon of the same ilk as Johnson. Even has similar hair.

Unfortunately, pop a blue rosette on a cauliflower here & it would be returned as MP.

I wrote to mine a few weeks ago ( Tory) He responded saying he understood the strength of feeling re the parties. I'm going to write again, thanking him for his response and asking him to get the fool to resign!!!

I have done this OP. I don't know if it will do any good but I'm so sick of it all. I also wrote about the dreadful state of affairs regarding the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the humanitarian crisis they're in. I don't know if it makes a difference but I felt I had to say how ashamed I was of our government.

I emailed my tory MP when party gate started. He emailed back (although it was probably a stock reply) and he sounded pretty fed up about the whole thing. Got the usual 'waiting for the report' as well though. I'm going to email him again now.

Have emailed my (very conservative, very blue) MP a few times over covid. He always replies, even if his tone is a bit sarcastic. (Im sorry that this situation has upset you)

He must be getting the message that people are pretty upset about the state if the govt and the PM is becoming indefensible.

I know quite a few people who used to be tories who are being radicalised into being non-tories by this gov. As in, joining other political parties to go out and canvas against them levels! I think political awareness is good for everyone and will lead to change hopefully.

Good call on writing to the speaker about the JS quip, completely unacceptable.

I wrote to my Tory MP on Friday. No reply as yet but hope she can see that her own position may be at risk if nobody steps up against incompetent and dishonest Mr Johnson. (Don't want to pander to the 'Boris' name calling as though he's some local down the pub.)

I've also emailed the Speaker of the House of Commons to complain about the comments made around Jimmy Saville today. Completely inappropriate conduct - although that seems to be all we can expect nowadays.

I said something similar to my own MP BonnesVacances, that it was down to them (the MP's) to make sure that the PM was challenged over these matters. It's up to them to ask the questions and get a response, and their conduct has been shameful.

I write to my Tory MP all the time and always get a reply. He replied this time saying that partygate was indefensible but he's waiting for the report, unless something else happens in the meantime.

So I wrote to him again yesterday telling him that something else has happened (the birthday party) and how worried I was that the PM was uncontrolled and appeared answerable to no-one. I pretty much said if we can't rely on our MPs to hold him to account, what is even the point of you?

He won't disclose private correspondence, ie to the 1922 committee, but I've asked him to take steps to restore trust in democracy.

I received an email back noting my concerns but my MP wants to wait for the report to be published before making any further comment or taking any action. Obviously if the report is watered down I'll be contacting him again!

I wrote to my MP and she wrote back agreeing that he has to go. She's Labour but it can't hurt.

BoJo will never resign. That would require him to have honour and it’s very clear that he doesn’t.
