    Sounds like the No Confidence vote will be called very soon now. ITV news briefing the 54 MP threshold has been passed.

    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2022/jun/06/boris-johnson-confidence-vote-graham-brady-tory-mps-live

    I would care, if I had any confidence that the next bassa would be any less objectionable.

    Win the vote tomorrow, stay on for the good of the war effort, limp on for a couple of weeks of extended booing, more internal Tory party drama after by-election wipeouts, then after another month an 'alas' speech and that'll be it. THANK **** FOR THAT, even if the next bassa is objectionable.

    I can’t see anyway that they get rid of him tonight?

    There’s no obvious alternative candidate so can see Johnson winning but leading a split party which becomes even more unpopular. Ideal scenario actually!

    I actually have a funny feeling he might lose tonight.

    Worst outcome for them is boris winning. Public have lost faith and it won't be won back. If he loses, some other basket will come in. The newcomer will say partygate was nothing to do with me, this is a new regime ect. When inflation drops worldwide they will also probably somehow try to take credit for it

    That’s why I think Hunt is in a good position. He has kept himself well away from Johnson and spent last couple of years on back benches. Hasn’t made a fool of himself on TV everyday trying to defend him.

    So many Tory voters saying they won’t vote Tory for “as long as Boris is in charge”. If he wins tonight I think they’ll be lost to the Tory party for a lot longer if they’re seen to back him.

    Several days too late for my liking. But you’re right, that’s a proper sign of the rats deserting a sinking ship.

    Hoping Johnson calls a GE out of vindictiveness. Think that there are enough in his party who follow blindly enough to help vote it through.

    When you see Johnson's history all laid out like this:

    https://twitter.com/ByDonkeys/status...65420427186179

    It's just incredible that the Tories and subsequently the public ever elected him. Absolute ****bag.

    I think Johnson will win this tonight, however ultimately he will be forced out by the end of the year, probably earlier

    Could the opposition benches then call a VONC and force the back benches to change their mind and back Boris or potentially trigger a GE? Boris is poison to publically back just now so it would force their hand.

    3/4 Your pandemic preparation during six years as health secretary was found wanting and inadequate.Your duplicity right now in destabilising the party and country to serve your own personal ambition, more so.

    Latest rant at Jeremy Hunt that accidentally seems to admit that we were unprepared for the pandemic due to the Tories.

    The gift that keeps on giving.

    I expect Bozo will survive tonight's vote then all the patter will be "getting on with the job, now the issue has been put to bed"

    We will probably need to wait until the general election before the Tories decide to ditch him.

    I just cannot comprehend on any level why anyone supports Johnson, and more so can justify supporting the tory party as a whole.

    The whole ****ing thing has been an unmitigated disaster.

    I thought he was teflon but this crisis will take a bit of getting through for him.

    Lovely to watch.

    Neither Alister Jack nor Douglas Ross were one of the 54 MPs who submitted letters.
    Ross in particular is all over the place on this. He must have been promised something.

    For seasoned politics watchers a Tory leadership election is good TV, but it’s really a bit of a charade. The evil policies won’t change, if they do it won’t matter to the overall direction of travel; more authoritarian, more bashing the poor, more endorsement of the profit motive taking over every aspect of life.

    There’s also a definite feel of an imaginary football group stage with all your most hated teams in it, Group Bassa: Rangers, Hearts, Paris St Germain, The England National Team, Uruguay 1986 Vintage. The only good outcome is plenty injuries red cards and fans rioting in the stands.

    Hopefully Johnson wins by a few votes and they tear each other apart for a few months. Revealing their personal ambitions will rile each of their own rivals.

    The best result would be 180 bang on. Not enough to bin him but enough to show he's only there by a baw hair.

    He'll get shredded every week in the commons and he's lost the public. It'll set them up to lose the election which is the ultimate goal.

    The usual suspects with the Tory party who would have no chance of progression or keeping their job under a normal leader have been quite vocal but there's not been a ringing endorsement of Johnson since. I have a feeling he might lose this.
