It'd take epic tactical voting to unseat her at the next election, but she might opt to clear off anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted July 20, 2022 To think in 8 weeks time it'll likely be Liz Truss at the dispatch box. Someone as equally or quite possibly more inept than Johnson which is some achivement 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They played their part well, distracting from what their billionaire backers actually did. (Same reason why Mitch McConnell tolerated Donald Trump) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted July 21, 2022 May be in fairly imminent need of new employment if a parliamentary enquiry goes the wrong way. How much his successor would protect him is uncertain, and if the shit hit the fan in his final days it'd be suicidal for his party if he ruled that he didn't have to face a by-election. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62252046 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted July 25, 2022 2 hours ago, Joey Russ said: So, at the moment he resigned he literally couldn't find enough people to form a cabinet and the ever-loyal Grant Schapps was breaking it to him that in another vote of confidence Schapps was only sure of 28 names backing Bojo and the best guess on that number is that it would translate into about 60 votes of support at best. Boris wants to go back to that moment, and try to hang on, then! He can't handle bland and calm options, and embraces chaos - summat a psychotherapist might term a "life-script" issue. He could always - like - back his friends in Ukraine by volunteering as a mercenary. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye well, he's sitting on around a 7,000 majority in a seat ripe for tactical voting - assuming he lasts the remainder of this parliament the issue of whether he stands again and - if so - where could get messy very quickly, a very Boris Johnson state of affairs.
