Johnson is a person who thinks it is his divine right to be leader, he won’t resign on his own, unless he is kicked out. He loves the glamour of being the supreme leader. He thinks he is the saviour of the universe
All i see is this biggest sanctimonious prat to grace the govt. He gets away with every wrong thing he does.
Really give up now on any positive change in these Isles.
Edit: One mystery i don’t get is, what do women see in Johnson? I can’t see anything remotely fascinating, sexy or charming about him.
He gets all the glamorous and educated women after him.
Aren’t there about 160 or so who are tied in some way to a position or similar representation of the Government, and would therefore be obliged to resign if they voted non-confidence? Granted, secret ballot, but some did in fact resign - that number suggests that Johnson has lost the backbenchers to a ratio of about 75%. A lot of those Chairs etc. that aren’t in Cabinet will be seeing the signs.
Theresa May was forced to pre-announce her resignation after her own no-confidence vote after Brady warned her that the rules (12 months grace) would be changed to force another vote. Reference has already been made to it being a very real possibilty and I expect that sometime in the near future , either after the by-elections or the parliamentary inquiry , then the same strongarm tactics will be brought to bear on Johnson and this time he will be informed he doesn’t have the votes to survive.
Interestingly , it was only at the third time of asking last night when he was being interviewed , that he said he had ‘no interest’ in calling a snap election. Translation : That’s very much what I’m thinking about if it gives me a better chance of saving my own skin.
If he is forced into a position where he needs to choose what is best for him or the Conservative Party he will naturally choose himself. In one respect that makes him almost untouchable because the senior Tories know he will happily burn the house down rather than leave in a semi-dignified manner.
Tend to agree with what mascot says here , now you will see the Tory press calling for unity and it’s time to draw a line blah blah blah which they’ve already done.
Sadly they will try to downplay this and will be watching labour like hawks for any scent of blood, they will try and run with “beergate” which imo I think Starmer was in the wrong as just like partygate it stinks that both sides know they took the piss and their excuses are bs as the rest of us were told to obey etc.
But from this point on labour whilst not having to do much (other than just watch the Tories destroy themselves as they tend to do) …they just need to make sure they don’t do anything stupid in the meantime for the press to deflect from Johnson
The Mail and the Express has fallen into their usual delusional patterns - the Mail having a bizarre pop at Starmer for smiling, and the Express going with Johnson’s reaction to the result rather than the result itself.
