Too soon minister in full evening suit
might be rishi
getting into big car so big ministry

Another overheard saying
we made it

And they don't appear to have anyone in the wings who could get the support of the whole parliamentary party, or even most of it.

Johnson's toast, and possibly the Tories too. I'm delighted, imo it's the best possible result for people who hate Tories.

So hand over from one buffoon to another - just what we need. Labour won't win a general election with Starmer as leader.

Thank you.

Have a good rest of the evening.

😁

Thank you, @DirtyteaCup .

Just waiting on Johnson's statement from Downing Street.

Style over substance?

That's far too close for comfort.

He's fucked.

His MPs either save the Conservative Party, or save him.

Love to know who that was!

Looks like Simon Hart went to the Abbott school of maths.

When Theresa May got 63% of the MP confidence vote, Rees-Mogg said “it’s a terrible result for the PM & she must resign”
Boris Johnson got 58%

Such a long time away

Yes, those by-elections will be telling.

23 June.

And they don't appear to have anyone in the wings who could get the support of the whole parliamentary party, or even most of it.

The key point, I think.

If they had another contender the parliamentary party could unite around, Johnson would no longer be having his shits at 10 Downing Street. They don't, and this lot are too craven to be willing to give him the boot until and unless there's another candidate who is clearly polling better than him (note, them not having a more popular option than him doesn't mean he's popular). Now we get to watch how they all respond to the upcoming byelection losses.

202 days...

Not that long really.

Johnson reacting on BBC now.

The trouble is how much damage they can do in the next months/time remaining

Been sent this, seems appropriate

I wonder if he might surprise us with a shock resignation. His ego is fragile, he likes to think he's liked. I wonder if this might be the excuse he needs to throw in the towel before further humiliation in the upcoming by elections.

It was sarcasm, I’m currently politically homeless as they are all awful.

Or a snap election - BBC interviewer asking him and he's not said NO...

I doubt it. He's not the resigning type and thinks the normal rules don't apply to him.

I think the woman reporter has taken a leaf out of Justine's book...
