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.

Liz Truss didn't even vote on her own motion. Utterly bizarre.
Neither did half the cabinet it sounds like, chaos doesnt describe whats happening
Chief whip gone.
Serious in fighting ha ha.
Clowns the lot of them.
This is like a car crash.
The Conservative Party at the moment...
JRM might be in some trouble here
Consider the likely competition .....
If the videos show what is claimed, he needs to be sacked and possibly charged. Ditto Coffey.
Likes of him never have to face the consequences of their actions
What is he supposed to have done?
JRM is a man who has some amount of skeletons in the closet. A real agitator.
Chris Bryant said he saw(and seems he had a photo of it) that an Conservative MP was manhandled into the voting lobby and he mentioned JRM and Therese Coffey were in the group standing there.
Listening to LBC and Douglas Ross and another conservative MP were meant to be on the Ian dale show and pulled out. It’s a mess.
Manhandled Alexander Stafford into one of the voting lobbies.
Mogg "not entirely clear" if Wendy Morton (Chief Whip) has resigned.
She has to go to Palace within the week. The place is a mess.
This is the best craic ever!
So does Truss lose the whip 🤣
Dross is brutal.
Less than zero chance he tweeted that himself
Surely King Charles HAS to step in here. A constitution crisis is more manageable then what they have at the minute and while we laugh in Republican at the implosion of the British establishment, ordinary British people, who for the most part are pretty decent folk, are suffering badly.
It's brilliant chaos an MP 'in tears' being pushed into voting lobby by JRM, reports that Truss cancelled the 3 line whip on franking vote so as to prevent tension, but forgot to tell Whips who forced people into voting in a completely confused mess because Truss wasn't there to explain, so now both Whips have probably, possibly resigned.
Best is the MP on Sky news talking life about being sick of working with talentless people. Conservatives are done, it'll take more than a decade to sort this out. The Erg/Ukip wing has dragged to party apart and stripped it of any sensible, rational voice that can take control. Dominic Grieve and his likes sorely missed to bring proper leadership to the party.
It's fecking glorious. Brexit fantasy is finally, spectacularly hitting the wall of reality
This morning the whip messaged everyone to say that the parliamentary vote on fracking was a matter of confidence. Therefore anyone who voted against would lose the whip
some MPs came out publicly and said that they would vote against and take the consequences
as a result, a statement was made in the house, just before the vote, that it would not be a vote of confidence
the whips didn’t know about this. They have since resigned
so when the vote came around some MPs did not know if it was a confidence vote or not so were milling around the lobby in confusion (the obvious conclusion being that they are wanted to vote yes or abstain but were unsure wether there would be repercussions)
JRM, Coffee, and the whips were yelling at MPs to get into the chamber and have been accused of bullying m. MPs were yelling back at JRM to f* off. JRM was then reported as physically manhandling someone into the no chamber
there were 40 rebels. Would probably have been more had there been clarity on whipping
And Truss missed the vote.
Never knew Ian Dunt was a Tory whip
Edit: Ian Dunt's actual take from 2 days ago
lol Rees Moog going all out full 'Jimmy Conway' shtyle.
A lot of things coming to a head here. I think FPTP and the lack of PR is a big factor - the Conservatives (and Labour) should have split into smaller parties ages ago. One big party with numerous bitter divisions inside it is leading to total and unprecedented political chaos in the UK.
Its clearly bllsht because people are saying Mogg "dragged them in to vote"
Not a hope JRM would do such a menial manual job. People would be paid to perform such things.
Frank and robust ? So he had an argument then ?
if he’s opposed to fracking then why did he vote with the government tonight ?
Indeed, either he was lied to and told the whip was still on OR he was dragged through
Ha ha accurate to be fair
There are photos of him...that kinda looks like what he is doing tbh...
