Either Bojo hasn't got the 100 backers, or he has been tipped off that the Privileges Committee investigation will be revealing such a huge pile of shit on him that he would have to resign again.

Or both.

Quite possibly, but only the first one would sway him.

 

If he was in a position to be put to the membership, he'd do it, and plan only to cross the bridge of the Privileges Committee, when he came to it.

Yes, the fact it's not going to be Johnson is probably to be welcomed.

However, Sunak is very right wing economically, and whilst potentially less chaotic than Johnson, will be just as disastrous for people.

I did read something the other day if it was Sunak, the BOE could likely keep base rate below 5, however Johnson would necessitate having to price in for incompetence.

When people say Sunak is in the pocket of billionaire backers we won’t know if it’s figuratively or literally.

Didn't have you down as an apartheight apologist

It's pretty clear he didn't have the numbers - it's all about saving face.

The talk yesterday of him having the numbers was to try and shift the fence sitters to his side - lies to try and set the agenda.

It's very fitting that Johnson is lying until the bitter end.

[Gnash]

Any chance Johnson's backers will move to Mordaunt and there will still be a contest...?

Yep, I'm inclined to agree that the shameless c**t would just have tried to brazen it out again.

He really is a duplicitous shit of the first degree.

Sleekit we would say up here

Did Boris contact Kim Jong Un as some sort of backup plan? Appears the Koreans have started pressing buttons.

Yes, it was all about a strategy.

They made a song and dance of him flying home and were trying like Hell to get big names to come out behind him.  That stalled a bit, so with the number hovering around 50, they claimed to already have twice as many.  This was intended purely to build that "momentum" they go on about.

As plenty were observing at the time, that was simply a lie.  Rees-Mogg told a similar one this morning.

Yesterday I felt the perfect punchline to the Truss debacle would be Johnson replacing her.  Actually, though, this is a better one: Johnson lying about replacing her.

Depends on how many of them are true Sunak haters.

So the guy that was rejected by Tory members just six weeks ago is now the right guy in the eyes of the mps.  Not a peep from the electorate?  Not a say.  Ok sound.  
 

Saddam Hussein, Kim Ill Sung and Joseph Stalin had more legitimacy than Sunak. 
 

Probably had more noble intentions too.

He was the right guy in the eyes of the MPs back then too.

Can't wait to see Dishi Rishi go full on Ray Patterson tomorrow.

Dorries taking it well.

It's hilarious to read the twitter thread with all the Tory MPs who have made rip roaring c***s of themselves backing Boris over the weekend.
