scottsdad Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 The best result is if he wins this by a single vote, and clings on. Every day he is in charge, he damages them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Brady admitting there that some of the Tories had post dated their letters so that "it wouldn't affect the Jubilee Celebrations". Initially, it was wrong to get rid of him while the war in Ukraine was going on. Seems that hurdle has been passed, but a party for the Queen is definitely not to be defiled. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I think he'll win the vote, but even if he does, he's been fatally damaged. Wonder what the trigger was for the last few letters. Maybe the booing from what ought to have been the most complaint audience in Britain at the Jubilee service? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Missed opportunity. They should have made this part of the #PlattyJoobs and had the vote it on the stage in front of the Royal Family. Cliff Richard could have compered, what an occasion it would’ve been. Edited June 6, 2022 by ICTChris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Interesting timing. I find myself wondering what the difference in votes would have been if it took place after the by-elections. We'll never know. The Tory loyal will gather round. My prediction is that he will win the vote but is now damaged goods, the by-elections will hurt further and he'll be out by Christmas. (Health grounds, "more time with family", "new leadership needed for post-Ukraine world" caught shagging a secretary in a Downing Street cupboard or something like that.) New leader in post to prepare for next election with a couple of budgets to steady the nerves... Bob's your uncle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any normal politicians world, I would agree with you............however this is Boris who has never done the honourable thing in his life (political, work, personal) so I wouldnt be too sure. If he does decide to limp on, even with 80+ against, then they will be in disarray for months with back stabbing, infighting etc. n.b. It is not written in stone that another vote cant take place later this year (despite what the news outlets will tell you). If enough MPs complain to Graham Brady, they can do it all over again before the year is up - hurrah ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 You can just tell that Boris Johnson has the smallest cock in history. Even smaller than Michael Gardyne's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reasonable chance of holding the one in Devon, so I wonder if that figured into their thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 This is almost a no-lose situation for those of us who despise these venal Tory c***s. Johnson wins and we've got another year of him dragging the party further (yeah I know) into the gutter, he loses it will be humiliating and his cabinet of absolute cretins like Truss, Patel etc will be emptied by whoever replaces him. Labour do infighting fairly well, but they don't hold a candle to the Tories when it comes to backstabbing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning it gives him some perceived security of not having to fight one for a while and it being a bit messy bringing the vote back, I think that could work against him today and a bit of a 'f**k it, this is our chance' attitude comes into play. Tories are generally absolutely ruthless and love a leadership ballot. May only survived so long because it was a really bizarre situation where it was immensely difficult for any alternative candidate to emerge who could come up with something realistic to be passed that was near palatable to their base without ending their career. There's little Boris can offer them right now that they can't get out of a bit of horse-trading in the leadership ballot. They can probably use Party Gate to hide a fair no of other scandals attached to the cabinet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 If he gets through this, then in effect it means not only does he bumble along obv, but there will be no brakes being applied to their direction of travel. A move to even further right wing policies, I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
