To think today is a good day to email your Conservative MP?

[thecatfromjapan]

So, in case you haven't heard, there's a confidence vote tonight for Boris Johnson.

There need to be at least 180 votes of no confidence to force him to stand down.

So far, Conservative MPs have shown surprisingly little backbone and tolerated outrage after outrage - and, of course, that means we have.

It has to stop.

I'm a Labour supporter. In theory, having Johnson stay on, dragging an increasingly fractured Party further and further down, is great.

More chance of a Labour government every day he's there.

But - here's the thing - I can't stand it any more. I can't bear what he's doing to us.

He needs to go.

Let's list what Johnson has led us to - actually, no, here is a letter from a Conservative MP that spells out just what Johnson is responsible for, and why he must go, now:

If you have a Conservative MP, email them, today. Cut and Paste this letter if you are too busy to write much - the letter says it all, eloquently.

Your Conservative MP needs your help to show a little backbone - give them that help.

Honestly.

It's time.

No more.

I have emailed but he won't vote against Johnson. I still think he should know how his constituents feel

Thankfully we got rid of ours last year and he was replaced by a LibDem MP - a result which showed the strength of feeling about the Conservative party in itself. Had he still been in post he would undoubtedly have supported Boris tonight and writing to him would have made not a jot of difference.

Teeny bump to try and get people to see this ...

And 💐💐💐💐 to all of you who have written emails already.

Can I just say, if you've already emailed, say a week ago - do it again today because the vote is today ...

I emailed mine earlier, I think he's one of the 150 bag carriers though so is likely to back Johnson 😡I have included a few reminders of Johnson's rule breaking in case my MP had forgotten them ...

Johnson won't go voluntarily, the knob! I hope Theresa May is living her best life today 😁

Jesse Norman MP’s letter is really powerful. The Tories badly need someone with that sort of integrity at the moment. Shame he’s not standing. If I was them I’d go for a fresh non-crony face like Tom Tugendhat.
(…and I’m a Labour voter!)

I've emailed mine
I mentioned the booing and jeering at the PM during HMQs jubilee celebrations
It'll get worse
The cult of personality is evaporating

I got an interesting reply to my email, saying that Jesse Norman was one of the brightest MPs they’ve worked with. I wasn’t expecting that.

His CV is impressive! www.gov.uk/government/people/jesse-norman

DH and I both emailed ours this morning. He’s one of the Tory whips so I expect him to vote for Johnson but felt I had to email.

And add to that the pathetic little lapdog, Grant Schapps as mine.

A shame he ended his letter with it’s not a leadership bid

I have emailed mine, for the first time ever! Thank you for the prompt.

Have emailed mine, not that I expect a response. This is a man who, when large parts of his consituency went over 10 days without power last year ignored all requests for help prefering to pitch up to a photo op outside of his area to plant a few fucking trees so I wouldn't expect him to bother to reply to something as unimportant as this.

I noticed on the list of MPs backing Boris Johnson, Graham Brady isn't on the list (maybe staying publicly impartial), but Boris Johnson is. How the fuck does he get a vote in this?

My mp is Gareth bacon. He is worse than useless and doesn’t even reply to emails so there is literally no point.

I've emailed mine, for what it's worth. He's a huge fan of Johnson, and has already said he'll be backing him tonight, but I wanted to voice my concerns anyway.

I emailed mine on Friday - long term pro Brexit supporter who defended Owen Patterson, -saying it's time for Johnson to go. I detailed pretty much what Jesse Norman said. Haven't had an acknowledgement so doesn't seem much point in another email

How and why is that man a member of the Conservative party of all things?! Seems to go against so many other things he's done!

OK.

It's 5:30.

It is so worth emailing your MP.

His team is busy trying to get MPs to publicly declare support.

He hasn't managed to get that magic number of publicly declared supporters.

MPs are wavering.

Send an email! Give your MP a little moral support!!!

I've emailed mine to implore that they reconsider their "100% support" announced today

Mine is on there. Stupid woman.

To all those who've emailed: 💐💐💐💐

I've emailed mine but she has tweeted to say she'll be voting for Boris "because her inbox shows he commands a lot of confidence"

Seriously, the longer this man is Leader of the Conservatives, and thus PM, the worse it gets.

He's addressed the 1922 Committee.

He's told them he'd do the partying all over again. He's not sorry.

Of course not.

He's told them he can rebuild trust.

That means:

The electorate are idiots. They'll forget. Fuck them.

You need to tell your MP that, no, you are not an idiot; the electorate are not idiots.

Johnson needs to go.

He's an insult to us all.

If your MP wants your vote, s/he needs to grow a spine and vote no confidence.

And if that MP doesn't - you will not vote for them.

Because you refuse to be taken for granted or treated like an idiot.

Right now, your MP is thinking about what Johnson has just told them.

Email and tell your MP to listen to you instead.
