It's all falling apart alarmingly fast for Boris Johnson across the water. How long you reckon he has left as British Prime Minister? Hours surely?
How many parties are they talking about now? I've lost count.

I read somewhere on the Guardian today (can't find it now) that it's thought there are now 50 (or maybe 51) of the required 54 "no confidence" letters submitted. He still might be looking somewhat nervously toward the toaster.
I'm going to hand it to you. I think we can all recognize, including me, that you're one of the most consistent posters throughout this thread and you back up your claims in ways that others do not. Consistently wrong, that is.
And the manner in which you "back up" your claims is to always launch personal jibes against Tory MPs, particularly Johnson. You've successfully climbed to the absolute summit of the Ad Hominem mountain, and quite clearly cannot see the wood from the trees.
You need to park your personal attacks against Johnson and Tory MPs and argue the case based on evidence.
this is what I was alluding to earlier. the ruling on the VIP lane only showed that it was technically illegal. The Judge did state that
Campaigners claimed the VIP lane was reserved for referrals from MPs, ministers and senior officials and gave some companies an unfair advantage.
A judge ruled it was unlawful to give the two companies preferential treatment as part of the VIP lane.
But she said both offers were likely to have been given contracts anyway.
so the process was unlawful, as it did not follow the correct procedure. It there was a good law project type political organisation in any other country in the EU, they would have found the same thing, as no one was following proper process at the time. Pretty understandable, I am sure you agree?
Have a read of your post about Keir Starmer as this is a perfect case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Prove it.
Delighted to once you answer all of my pending requests.
Nothing then, alright.
I mean, it's literally in your post above but if you're going to indulge in the conservative tradition of expecting handouts then this is a bit pointless.
Any proof of your claim above or is that nothing?
But what happens if a PM who is found to have deliberately misled the House refuses to resign and his party's MPs refuse to vote against him? In that case, the ministerial code become unenforceable.
What exactly is evidences separate from opinion, in this case?
Its all bo**ox, The Met and SG both have been gaslighted by the Tories.
BJ has escaped.
Eskimo, you have said yourself that Johnson has completely failed to deal with the migrant issue, an issue at the very core of Brexit.
So it isn't some others that see him as a failure, you acknowledge that yourself.
The difference is that you are willing to give him yet more chances, based on nothing but his promises and ignoring his multiple failures.
That's what Johnson is banking on. He has literally been found to have broken the law, and it's pretty clear he deliberately misled Parliament. He is supposed to stand down, as all MPs are expected to if found to have deliberately misled Parliament, however there's nothing to actually enforce it. It's a "This is what you're expected to do" rather than "Do it or you're gone". The only thing that can force Johnson out is a vote of no confidence, either by the House as a whole or by enough of his own party. So it all depends on enough Tories siding against him.
It's insane that there may not be enough to do it. Even if for no other reason than it will really become a factor in the next election.
I think this is the source https://twitter.com/CatNeilan/status/1529447754036125698 I saw it in the Guardian earlier. The Telegraph was speculating last night that it might be in the high 40's.
But....
The Standards Committee and Privileges Committee can suspend the PM for 10 days when Parliament’s in session, or 14 days when it’s not and he could then be forced to fight a by-election.
Is Brexit really done though?...it's a mess...Northern Ireland especially.
Vaccination programme went great guns at the start but other countries caught up. They wasted an insane amount of money, the track and trace for example a disgrace...not to mention the dodgy dealings on contracts.
He was there for a photo op and they gave them a lot of aid and weaponry...he knew how it would play...I wouldn't call that amazing leadership.
Yeah but if the number of letters just barely reaches the threshold is it likely he would lose the vote? I don't get the sense of a 'Boris must go' banwagon gathering momentum over the report...
That's because there is no momentum.
Fewer MPs are upset with Johnson today than they were 5-months ago. Many MPs are coming out saying how appropriate his addressing the issue today was.
It defunds councils who will have to subsidise photo ID for poorer voters, stealth cuts for Labour councils. It's hassle for voters too.
Look at how the recall up North for Ian Paisley did it. People had to travel to 3 major towns to sign rather than locally at up to 10 centres and still 94% of requirement to recall was met.
...and disparaged Shane McGowan for his looks.
False and misleading information.
Even if this grossly contorted view of what I said held, it wouldn't justify personally abusing Tory MPs and Boris Johnson just because they have a different political alignment to others.
False and misleading information?
Direct quote from one of your posts.
"Shane McGowan is a frightfully unattractive man whose wife may only be with him for the cash."
First, that wasn't an insult to Shane McGowan; it was intended as a statement of objective reality that McGowan himself would share. If I find someone unattractive, I'm not mocking their physical appearance. My remarks on his wife stand.
But even if that were true or false, it doesn't justify the insane personal abuse and physical mockery of Conservative MPs and Boris Johnson.
You're a hypocrite.
With the mental gymnastics of this complete and utter nonsense I can see why your a fan of Johnson.
Yep. Expect to be told that direct quotes are either out of context, gaslighting or lies. Standard protocol from the man who compared a black philanthropist to Britain's most notorious paedophile.
You know you have lost the argument re: Boris Johnson - you know, the actual subject matter of this thread - when all you're left doing is scavenging desperately for comments made by other users a year ago, then distorting and contorting those comments out of all recognition and context.
But that's what the silent audience reading this thread see, and it's what the hard left always do.
**** hell. The whole of Europe, if not the world, must be an undemocratic mess. all these people unable to gate because they have to produce photo ID
you do know (of course you do) that this recommendation actually came from the electoral commission, the cross party group that monitors elections?
Most people think he should go:
Most people didn't want this cretin to begin with but in the UK doesn't matter what most people want here, sadly.
Approx. 40%+ voted for Johnson in the GE, and 40%+ want Johnson to stay.
Johnson is here to stay.
