Boris no confidence vote…he’s going to win isn’t he?

[BadAtMaths2]

Spineless MPs….then he’ll limp along doing even more attention seeking stunts.

4 minutes to go.

He's won

<boo> <hiss>

He’s staying!

For now...

211 absolute scum.

148 against
A bad result. Watch the spin going on.

I knew he wouldn't be going anywhere
They are all spineless.

Far more against than I was expecting. He won’t be able to spin his way out of this easily.

40%+ of Tory MPs have no confidence in him. He’s done.

Labour will be happy with that. A worse confidence vote than Theresa May’s.

He’s a dead man walking. The Tories have just thrown the next election.

A better jobbie?

From Tim Shipman on Twitter-

“CUT OUT AND KEEP: I've been crunching numbers in case of a vote of no-confidence to compare results
If the rebels get:
121 votes: Johnson will have done as badly % wise as John Major in 1995
133 votes: Worse than May in 2018
147 votes: Worse than Thatcher v Heseltine in 1990”

He’s done.

This is politics, it’s never that simple. It only takes 40 MP’s to vote against him to block legislation.

for the third time tonight - in position but not in power. He’s impotent.

the spin will start…….

Seriously he’s toast with that figure. Absolutely no way he can lead them into another election with almost half his Party against him. The death by a 1000 cuts over the next six months will be fun to watch.

I can't believe I have to wait THREE WEEKS for the by-elections!!

That was a very bad result for Johnson.

'We draw a line and move on' says Zahawi - dream on!

They're just playing a long game aren't they - letting him take the fail at the next GE - and saving any fresh new leader to fight the GE following that.

This is exactly the result I wanted - lots of division in the ranks and a damaged Tory PM. Excellent.

Javid has already started.

All I can say is that the Tories deserve him.

But he is a dead man walking just the same. For how long though, that is the question.

tee hee hee! Bet Starmer is super happy tonight!

Apologies - Nadhim Zahawi - DP has just been ranting about the tube strikes

Me too. It’s excellent.
