Sorry, come again, call a no confidence vote in himself?

Also, Tories lost their majority Phillip Lee (who?) jumps ship to the Lib Dems.

With these defections, do we need an election? Opposition parties should just form a coalition now. Chuck in a few £million and the DUP would likely join it.

Listening to BoJo speaking to the Commons. Does he think this is all some big ****ing joke? Laughing, making jokes about the Ashes, and wagging his finger in ways that Adolf would be proud.

Someone needs to remove this man promptly, and in the most efficient manner possible. Preferrably to never return to politics again!

Etonians are brought through school with the expectation that they are destined for the cabinet table via Oxbridge. Chumps like Johnson treat the whole thing as a massive extension of the sixth form common room. And why shouldn't they? It's other people's lives they're ****ing with. :rolleyes:

Sneering about the currency and Independent Scotland would use "the Salmond or the Sturgeon". Jesus ****ing wept.

Any Unionist could have told him the correct sneer for this situation is "groat". Amateur. :rolleyes:

It appears the chair of the Lib Dems LGBT group @LGBTLD has quit the party after Phillip Lee joins the party.

Labour's Angela Eagle: Will the PM "abide by the rule of law", if a bill passes making it illegal to leave the EU without a deal?

Boris Johnson: "We will of course uphold the constitution and obey the law"

What a roaster. It would all be a jolly good laugh if it wasn't for the fact he's PM.

Unlike most on here I watched the whole G7 report back from Boris the Bufoon.
No matter the clips for the News outlets, Corbyn hammered him big time, followed by Ian Blackford of the SNP, getting the boot in too. Splendid. Boris is truely atrocious. Watching a Tory MP actually crossing to the opposition benches live was remarkable.

He doesn't seem entirely welcome:

Lib Dems' LGBT chair resigns over Lee defection

Jennie Rigg, chair of the Lib Dems LGBT group, says on Twitter that she has sent an email to the membership resigning after the party accepted Phillip Lee as an MP.
Among her concerns is his support in 2014 for banning HIV-positive immigrants from Britain.
In a blogpost, Ms Rigg accused him of being a "homophobe, a xenophobe, and someone who thinks people should be barred from the country if they are ill".

I did more under Blair than any other time in my career. The last 9 years have been so frustrating in contrast.

They were indeed great, for the first 5 years , of focus and implementation...lost their way with the gulf war ....

Yeah. It was more the principle than the bill example ..simple repetitive language makes a high impact - talking about different things confuses the message ....

Not sure who's performance was worse today - Bojo or Jackson Carlaw. Carlaw's jibe at Sturgeon was classless. Hope he gets the job.

And that applies to the SNP as well, who are likely to gain. They need to stop brexit first.

Of course the other factor is the constituency arithmetic. The Brexit party vote share will never translate into a comparable number of seats. The Lib Dems also won’t win as many seats as their vote share would suggest they deserve.

In Scotland the SNP will take 80+% of the seats while being a fair bit short on f that on the popular vote.

It is what it is and I don’t have a particular issue with it. We blew the chance of a more equitable system with the AV referendum result.

AV or PR look a hell of a lot more attractive following the current ****show So much for the strong government provided by FPTP

I’m looking forward to the “Coalition of Chaos” if anything just for a bit of stability.

Conservative Chief Whip calling in confirmed rebels ahead of the vote to withdraw the vote.

Mogg was essentially begging for a vote of no confidence earlier. Hopefully the opposition benches let this shower suffer through their own mess.

Rees Mogg's actually lying almost flat on his back on the front bench.

Bizarre human being.

PR would likely half the number of SNP mp’s and would also make MP’s much more compliant to the central party machine.
They would no longer represent an area, just the party.
Not for me.

imagine if you were in work and lay on your back in a meeting and rolled your eyes everytime one of you colleagues spoke or disagreed with your position.

he's simply an arrogant, petulant and rude prick.

Indeed. Caroline Lucas has just called him out for it and said it is a contemptuous approach.

It’s been easy for these clowns to crow from the back benches. Not so easy trying to actually govern.

Nadine Dorries sits on the front bench. WTF has happened to this country.
