Davkaus Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 "He won handsomely, it's time to draw a line under this". "He's got a third mandate" They'd tell you the sky was green if it was in their interests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Surely it's time for the opposition to call for a motion of no confidence in the government to force tory MPs to make their position public? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 6, 2022 @DavkausThe Welsh Secretary just said that... "only 51.1% voted for the Prime Minister in the leadership election and now he's secured 60% of the Parliamentary party" I'm conflicted that he agrees with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will but am I right in thinking that a Labour VONC in parliament will be non binding and the Tories can actually whip the party to not attend. They already did that didn't they, or did that go when they repealed the fixed term parilament act? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 That is a massive amount of his own party that think he's a useless turd! I wonder how they'll all feel after the by-elections, they will probably expect to lose the Wakefield one but if they lose in Tiverton it will get even the Boris Brown Nosers in a tizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 To put it another way, 75% of the MPs not on the Government payroll want him gone. Spoiler Which obviously isn't true, but to argue that point they have to admit that there are people he is paying to be there that also want him gone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicho Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Can we take another year or two of the damage Boris is causing to politics? Would that be worth it to see the Tory party left in shambles for a considerably long time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 He will probably go before the summer recess, which gives them time to do a leadership election before the conference season in the autumn. Losing over 40% of your party, there is no way back. Dead man walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd only be replaced by an equivalent piece of dogshit. It's not like he goes and everything gets fixed by a useless replacement. Short-term pain for the Tory brand to put in a sack with a brick and chucked in the canal. Worth it in the long-run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
