Current Affairs The next Tory (strong and stable) leader is Boris Johnson

[Alan Whittle]

It’s quite possible, knowing that he will win and wanting the confidence vote out of the way instead of continuing to dominate the press coverage, that he engineered the last few letters from friendly MP’s himself, just to get it out of the way on the first day of Parliaments return.

Is it even good if he goes ? Tories are the most unpopular they have been in ages, last thing i want is them somehow regaining a foothold under a new leader when it seems nailed on they lose the next election with the current one

Still think he's more of an electoral threat than any of the others. The cult of personality around him is revoltingly strong.

Unless cost of living literally evaporates if Boris goes the same struggles people are facing will continue... Im very much convinced partygate does not touch this government if we were in more confident economic times.

Not necessarily, the 1992 committee can allow another vote sooner in exceptional circumstances.

….his inner circle will start jockying for position, the only thing they’ll be interested in is what’s best for them. This will all be about power, who‘ll be the first to break ranks and make a play for his job?

When the time comes, you will see the most two-faced individuals looking to be next leader. After defending him for 12 months, they will stick the knife in.

John Penrose resigns - BJ's Anti-Corruption "Champion" (strange title).

He is scathing in his description of the findings of the Report and he is now saying BJ must resign.

Seems to me that this is a major blow. But then I am viewign from a distance.

Sad thing is they are not voting for the good of the Country, Brexit balls up, rising taxes and National insurance, ever increasing retirement age, endless energy bill rises, petrol rises, food price rises, house price rises, cost of living out of control, people having to choose between eating or heating, unbelievable National debt increases, partygate, his habitual lying and running our Country into the ground freefall.
The Tories are voting due to themselves being terrified of losing their seats, self interest and survival only.

According to JRM, brexit hasn't been delivered and this is an attempt by the remainers to oust Johnson.

Lunatic.
