MP for 21 years, former Chair of NI Select Committee and a junior minister from time to time. (Also wrote a novel about the Civil War starring a former military man turned MP. and regicide - coincidentally he is a former military man turned MP)
Big beast he is not. Conventional loyalist, yes.
I bow to your superior knowledge
I cannot pretend to know things about random MPs. Just surprised to see a local MP in the news for once.
I live in Boris's old seat of Henley, current Tory MP i know quite well, lets say he is not a fan of Bojo by any means
@NadineDorries · 2m I’m not sure anyone actually doubted this, however, I am 💯 behind @BorisJohnson the PM who consistently gets all the big decisions right.
I wouldn't trust that polling as far as I could throw it but you carry on holding on to it like a drowning man holds on to a lifebelt.
Once you get into a leadership election, all bets are off - obviously, the key will be any polling showing how the different contenders would fare in a possible GE against Labour. After all, that's what won it for Johnson in 2019.
To an extent but less so than 2019 as the Tories now have a majority they didn't then.
Tory members will be looking for some rightwing red meat as reward for the majority the party won in 2019
I'd have thought the bigger question is which candidate would be the most likely to keep the Party in Government - wanting "right wing red meat" got you Hague, IDS and Howard - remind me how that worked out.
Jacob Rees Mogg tells #C4News it is the PM who has a mandate from the people. Those who left he says are “eminently replaceable”.
Rees Mogg. 'Stalingrad is a triumph for the Fuhrer'. @Channel4News
Oh god, he's going to be CoE isn;t he....
well at least enjoy the tax cuts as we go to hell in a hand basket.
Who has been the CoE with shortest time in office?
Mogg will get a week.
He won't get to PMQs.
At 8 am tomorrow, Brady will tell Boris that he has received 436 letters. Over 200 opposition MPs have crossed the floor and joined the Conservatives, just so they can send in a letter....

None of them led a party in government let alone with a big majority. The party is now in government, it wants some red meat for its power and Tory members will vote accordingly on who has a platform of hard Brexit and tax cuts

Tromboning no doubt.....,
100% behind the PM, much like a soldier is 100% behind a sandbag.

The policies that Tory members like HY want to see as red meat 1. Dorries to censor things 2. War with Europe 3. Benefits scroungers/claimants into the workhouse 4. Bring back hanging and death to anyone with a funny name.

3 and 4 would be pretty hard on Tory MPs, esp., when you add the castration for sex offenders. Look on the nright side, lots of by-elections to argue about.
Please keep JRM on tv.... excellent recruiter for Labour, LDs, Plaid, SNP, Greens, etc. Smug arrogant condescending berk...totally out of touch
When the new management takes over tomorrow he and mad Nad and a few others will return to well deserved obscurity with the scorn of an ungrateful nation.
@NadineDorries · 2m I’m not sure anyone actually doubted this, however, I am 💯 behind @BorisJohnson the PM who consistently gets all the big decisions right.
I do wonder if we might find out in a few years that Boris and Nadine are actually the John and Edwina of this era...
Is it conceivable that the only way to get shut will be Tories supporting VONC against government? No automatic GE will follow. Queen will call leader most likely to form a government so possibilities include: 1. No leadership campaign instead Tory MPs will have to agree on one candidate to avoid prolonged vote. 2. Temporary PM while leadership contest takes place (May?)
Tories have to be vary careful they don't precipitate an election by accident. Of course it is also possible that Starmer may go soon (before Boris??).

They won't, JRM is very popular amongst the Tory membership and it is the Tory membership who get the final say on the next Tory leader and PM not the public
The American House of Cards was way better then the British one
Agreed, just got onto Series 5, splendid stuff
Series 1, 4 and 5 are good. 2 and 3 are too slow and self-consciously arty. And the ending is just dismal.
Better the Designated Survivor, started watching that 1st series very good, 2nd so so, 3rd series shocking
As with many high-concept ideas, they run out of steam. The idea of a guy without experience being thrust into being the President works for a while, then it just becomes a poor knock off of the West Wing

Oh, so the public are imperfectluy coordinated with the Party view? Must be so annoying for you.
I'm probably missing something (I dabble in the betting side of politics, but hold my hands up as a rank amateur). Isn't Raab at 20/1 value for next PM? If Bojo goes tomorrow, surely he won't stay for the leadership election?
I don't think Rishi will do particularly well with the MPs given his dogma on spending and doesn't have much of a platform for the membership other than past charisma and his Leaverhood. That's before we get to his blow up last year.
Tugendhat is the British Marco Rubio.
Mordaunt, Wallace and Zahawi is who I'm keeping my eye on.
HYUFD is ALSO a former Remainer not in the Cabinet!
I am not seeking to be PM nor even in the Cabinet or Parliament, Remainers who are not still Boris loyalists are not going to lead the party anytime soon

Mordaunt 5.7
Tis a bitter pill; I shall not lie
2. Sunak isn't a liar
3. Johnson is a liar
And you believe the liar.
The next PM if Boris goes will almost certainly be one of Wallace, Truss or Mordaunt, probably Wallace
Final season was better than the penultimate one though.

I'm grateful to Sue Gray for her report and I sincerely repeat my apologies for the event I received a fine for.
The Prime Minister has apologised and lessons have been learned. I hope we can now move forward and continue delivering for the British people.

A great many members will be relieved to see the knife plunged into the front of Boris. 🔪
Very likely he'll go this year now but not 91% likely.

You are in denial as to what is coming and it will not be the ERG dominated conservative party you hope for
Edit - one month in 1970. Appointed 20th June, died 20th July.

Conservative mps need to stand up for integrity and honesty and reject Johnson and his acolytes
He's not going to make it to PMQs. Its done.
More a comment on me, sadly.

That’s 2 posters you have attacked without provocation
It's also based on a false premise, which slightly annoys me.
1. No leadership campaign instead Tory MPs will have to agree on one candidate to avoid prolonged vote.
2. Temporary PM while leadership contest takes place (May?)

Entertaining!
The Tories will take twenty years in opposition to drain the hate they now have and all because of a cult.
ETA: I know this was mentioned a while back!
Tugendhat is the British Marco Rubio.
Mordaunt, Wallace and Zahawi is who I'm keeping my eye on.
I appreciate that’s an obscure reference.
These people are on drugs.
