Yet more Tory sleaze….

They've found a 5-person lifeboat!

Rumours that Gove is pressing for Johnson to resign rather than fight it out.

And Liam Fox seen entering the cabinet office presumably either to take a new role or tell Johnson to F off.

Liam Fox has written a letter withdrawing his support for the PM.

According to the rules (as they stand today) there cannot be another leadership election for a year, but what would happen if more than 50% of Tory MPs wrote to Brady expressing no confidence in Johnson?

It is clear the man is going to have to be dragged from his job, his fingers clawing the despatch box, if he is not forced to resign.

Didn't the Tories learn anything from when they became unelectable for years because of sleaze ?

The answer is of course no, learning is for lefties.

If only

Who'd have thought that Mogg's drive for government savings would result in removing 15* ministers from the payroll!

*I no longer know what the number is.

Just work on the basis that it is 1 more than it was 10 minutes ago


more stuff about Gove telling him to resign

also rumours that Brady will tell him when it gets over a certain number so he has the option of resigning rather than watching the rules change and being chucked out

if he lasts the day I'll be surprised - if he lasts the week I'll be off down the airport to watch the take off of a squadron of pigs

The 1922 committee can change their rules at the drop of a hat apparently. So the 12 month rule means nothing.

Apparently the Tory whips have said there are no longer an MPs who are prepared to join the government to fill the gaps caused by the resignations

Once told the whips that there were no terms of any kind that would make him re-consider
and the whip agreed with him!!!!

As the rules stand, nothing I think. The power of the 1922 committee is that they can change the rules, so if it looks overwhelming then they can approach the PM and suggest resigning or they will amend the rules to allow the VoNC. Apparently this happened to May.

If this doesn't happen, I wonder what might occur if the opposition table a no-confidence motion in the PM and it passes. Normally, of course this doesn't happen as it unites the government side and the motion fails. Speculation on twitter is that the Tory party, as the majority, would nominate a new leader and present him/her to the Queen for approval. If Johnson doesn't leave then, I guess the Queen can send in the troops to extract him from no10. I really hope this happens and the last we see of Johnson is him being dragged out of no.10 by his feet towards the Tower of London

Nadine Dorries could do all these jobs at the same time with the same competence she has shown in her current role.

I was under the impression that this would be what would happen. Except for the troops bit. There are a few ex-Russian residences that are currently vacant. Maybe he could be tempted to squat in one of them. It would incur a hefty wallpaper bill though.

Mike Freer will be feeling a lot freer now he's jumped.
