Hancock on Peston says Boris has lost the confidence of the Cabinet and Party
That’s not important though is it. What’s more interesting is whether he has lost your confidence?
Until he loses a VONC no, even though that is likely inevitable now
Stop dodging the question minister!
If you had a vote in said VONC, which way would you vote? Hypothetically speaking.
I would still vote for Boris as my position remains he got a mandate for a 5 year term.
However I am not an MP and if most Tory MPs voted no confidence in him then at that point he would have to go
1. What Mandate? We elect individual MPs. Not a government. Not a Prime Minister? 2. What 5 year term? Yer man changed the law so that there is no term length

He might have, now that HYUFD has realised that Braverman is available as an alternative option.
I've recently started rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, saw an episode last night where they were battling a demon that could possess a corpse (for a short time) or a living person but when threatened would jump into possessing another available body. We seem to be at the stage that the threat is so severe the body jump is about to happen and another vessel has to be found.
Did a full Buffy re-watch a while ago. It really stands up well. Plus. Alyson Hannigan.
I was at the theatre this evening watching My Fair Lady (highly recommended). I thought the Cabinet delegation could have done worse than belt out “Without You” to the PM.
“They can still rule with land without you. Windsor Castle will stand without you. And without much ado we can all muddle through without you.”
1. The PM is unfit to serve as Prime Minister and should resign 2. I think I should replace him as PM and will campaign to be leader 3. I continue will serve in Boris Johnson's cabinet
Just a thought, but the judgement that led Braverman to declare a leadership bid while still in government when most are in bed and chaos is all about us is the same judgement that gives this government its legal advice. Sleep well everyone. https://twitter.com/michaelsavage/status/1544809243911536641
Suella won't survive scrutiny of her sect. Let alone anything else.
I'm as confused as to why you posted that as I am about HYUFD's objection to women who twerk?
From that article Braverman comes across as calm, measured and reasonable while Thornberry comes across as a fool who knew she was asking questions that can't be answered and had to get chided by the Deputy Speaker.

If a majority of Cons MPs are against him and you are for him you know that that would mean you weren't a proper Tory.
No it doesn't, you can vote for whoever you like in internal party elections, though my preference is normally loyalty to the leader, especially one who won a general election
Anyone who thinks it couldn't be any worse after Johnson is not paying attention. Our only hope is that the MPs prevent a loony making it to the membership ballot because if they do you can bet that's who they will choose. Bear in mind how many thousands of sensible Tory members have departed since Boris became leader.

Buffy is excellent
Yep Brilliant. I watched avidly when it was originally broadcast.
Perhaps Boris Johnson's most toxic legacy will have been to have fuelled the delusion that prime minister is a job to which any politician can legitimately aspire, no matter how limited their experience or mediocre their talents. https://twitter.com/itvpeston/status/1544805199419772929
Fair play to her. idiots, cranks and sociopaths like Iain Duncan Smith, Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson have all led major political parties in the last twenty years, so why should she not regard herself as being well above that standard? https://twitter.com/itvpeston/status/1544805199419772929
Probably the ideal person to fulfil that role in current circumstances. Whatever her faults she is scrupulously honest and dignified. She also will have no long term ambitions for it. Steady hand for a short period of time.

Fuck him, he voted for this prick
He didn't. If I recall correctly, he lost his nerve, contemplated resigning, then after the leadership votes were over he seemed to tacitly support BJ indirectly by defending BJ's policies when people criticised them.
Recently he has claimed that he want Boris gone
General election, 2019. Every single one of you who voted Conservative is complicit in this and should apologise.
I did not vote in 2019. I voted LibDem in 2017. I might never bother voting ever again.
Are there any Tory MPs not preparing to throw their hat into the ring for the leadership?
May?
She's just waiting to be made caretaker PM.
It will be nice to have a caretaker in as PM.
For a start, I understand there's a swing in the garden that wants fixing, and I'm not totally sure all the wine fridges have had the necessary electrical safety test done.

To me, I would think it shows the exact opposite. Boris is living, breathing proof that "... prime minister is NOT a job to which any politician can legitimately aspire, especially if they have limited experience or mediocre talents."

The best version of that I have seen on film was Fallen with Denzel Washington and John Goodman. Brilliant concept of a murderous spirit that can jump from one person to another and possess them simply by being nearby. There is an amazing scene where Washington is having a conversation with the spirit as it jumps from person to person as they pass him in the street.

America is SO doomed. One shouldn’t laugh but I’d weep otherwise
Also, isn’t he… Chinese? A big tubby American Chinese guy? The same Chinese that are slaughtering the Uyghurs and dominating Asia? And he calls her the “fucking coloniser”
The Left has carefully constructed this madness
Maybe these sorts of petty arguments were happening before but we didn't know about them before social media.
That whole Woke discourse - used by both of them - is almost entirely new
I dunno how new twerking is, but here it is being done by a Democrat State Senator for Rhode Island. It has caused “a stir”

I haven't seen it in about twenty years, keep meaning to and saw it on Disney+ the other day and thought I'd give it a go. Only on season two so far, but I'm surprised how well its holding up so far.
Alyson Hannigan is great in anything she does. Between this, American Pie and HIMYM ...

The tactical nuclear option for Johnson is to simply withdraw the whip from everyone who is against him.
There isn't really anything left other than nuclear options now is there?
Changing the rules stinks. Parliamentary VONC risks GE and Blackford himself this evening said it was the nuclear option. Withdrawing the Whip would leave his rump smaller than the Labour party, and might leave the rebels in the same boat.
Other than Johnson finally seeing the inevitable, every option is now a nuclear one.

She doesn’t want it for herself. But if her friends and colleagues insist… She would of course give up the powers in due course, unless her friends and colleagues were to insist..
Well. I'm going to turn in. Thanks for your company on a nerdtastic day That's for both my political friends and political foe/friends. Cheers for the LOL'S. Not sure we can hit such heights again. But tomorrow may excel? Here's hoping.

I hope it doesn't, I got next to no work done today. Normally if I obsess about politics for a bit, I can get it done later on or earlier, but not today.
Need a few days of calm before we do this all over against next week when the 22 allows the next confidence vote. Got to get some work actually done!

The Democrat State Senator for Rhode Island has the answer - see the video below. We need MORE twerking - but in politics
As a way out of our present mess Boris could strip down to his undies, stand upside down on Southend Beach and twerk his booty for maybe a minute, and we could rate him out of 100 for how he did “the thun thun”. Perhaps then Sir Keir Starmer could do the same on Islington Green, peeling off his suit to do some “booty poppin”, or “booty clappin” to the tune of “shakin it fo Daddy” or “Dance A$$” played by his wife on harpsichord

Maybe twerking with relation to abortion is the problem? If you believe it's a sober subject, which I think most people in this country believe it is, on both sides.
Oh, go on then. Think I will. Must be the response.
If someone tries to frighten you into staying your hand in such a fashion it is usually a good sign you should not do so, if you are able. Nothing good comes from giving in to such a threat.
A May interregnum would be the least awful outcome for the party at this stage. Familiar face, opportunity to cool off etc.
The problem is that a caretaker PM won't have the authority to make any major or contentious policy decisions. There's a strong consensus on Ukraine, so I wouldn't see making decisions related to that as problematic. However, on other major issues facing the country - inflation, preparing for the winter energy crunch, in particular - what decisions could a caretaker make?
In two month's time it is September, the next increase in the energy price cap is imminent and winter is coming. Johnson does need to go, but a summer of flapping about with a leadership election isn't going to do the party much good either.
Presumably Boris Johnson sacks Suella Braverman tonight or first thing tomorrow (after all James Duddridge told us there were lots of people desperate to serve)
Either way, it's attorney general questions at 10am in the Commons tomorrow.

Well the alternative is to keep Johnson in post, which is sub ideal. There’s no proof he wouldn’t try to reverse ferret, or perform some new constitutional outrage.
It’s five mins to midnight, and the PM - having promised he would be making appointments today - has managed to increase the 46 resignation vacancies he had, to 47, by sacking a senior cabinet minister.

Next week, the horror as its revealed that Democrats are stooping to doing the Robot while demanding that guns aren't brought into schools.
To top it off with the Moonwalk for protecting the First Amendment. Its like Sodom and Gomorrah come to life.

Though if they're only doing so while the person is being loaded into the ambulance, then move out of the way as the ambulance moves on once they're loaded, then that's possibly just drunk people being stupid and not party political at all.

There’s a brilliant Spanish guy in the thread below that, expressing his bewilderment
“Why Black Americans do that wiggle of buttocks.. what does it mean? what does that mean in their culture?”
“Well look .. Thanks for the contribution .. We always see that they buttocks move like this .. more the Africans but at the same time it must have a meaning, sometimes they do it in response to something, What do they mean by that dance? really many people ignore it.”

He seems to have persuaded a lot of colleagues he is an untrustworthy figure ina very short space of time. Talk about using up all that goodwill from being vaccine minister.
The @Telegraph report the whips’ office have crunched the numbers and worked out Boris Johnson would get just 65 confidence votes out of nearly 360 Tory MPs
A May interregnum would be the least awful outcome for the party at this stage. Familiar face, opportunity to cool off etc.
Ought to be Corbyn - runner-up last time, a sober unflashy type, just what we need. Economic policies not that different from Johnson, so a pleasing continuity too.
There seems to be a new thing of openly calling on the PM to go but not actually resigning. So what are you then? A freelance Minister? How do you serve as part of the PMs cabinet?
Remarkable innovation, certainly. At least the rebels retain some dignity.

Shouldn't that (more likely) be, Theresa May could be drafted as caretaker Prime Minister if Boris FAILS TO QUIT AND MAKES MPS THROW HIM OUT, sources say.

2. What 5 year term? Yer man changed the law so that there is no term length
It really stands up well.
Plus. Alyson Hannigan.
For some reason, thinking of the giggling inside the Bunker, in April 1945, at the news from Warm Springs GA.
NOT saying every PB what-abouter is a "true" BJ Tory. After all, not everyone stuck in the Bunker was NSDAPer.
“They can still rule with land without you.
Windsor Castle will stand without you.
And without much ado we can all muddle through without you.”
1. The PM is unfit to serve as Prime Minister and should resign
2. I think I should replace him as PM and will campaign to be leader
3. I continue will serve in Boris Johnson's cabinet
Let alone anything else.
From that article Braverman comes across as calm, measured and reasonable while Thornberry comes across as a fool who knew she was asking questions that can't be answered and had to get chided by the Deputy Speaker.
A Mrs T May of Maidenhead has been in contact....
Can't sleep.
It's all a bit too much for someone who has watched politics.
Fair play to her. idiots, cranks and sociopaths like Iain Duncan Smith, Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson have all led major political parties in the last twenty years, so why should she not regard herself as being well above that standard? https://twitter.com/itvpeston/status/1544805199419772929
I am on v big pay out.

If I do it in Bootle, you've surely got to do it wherever you are.

For a start, I understand there's a swing in the garden that wants fixing, and I'm not totally sure all the wine fridges have had the necessary electrical safety test done.
Great twist at the end as well.
Worth looking up.
I dunno how new twerking is, but here it is being done by a Democrat State Senator for Rhode Island. It has caused “a stir”

Alyson Hannigan is great in anything she does. Between this, American Pie and HIMYM ...
Changing the rules stinks.
Parliamentary VONC risks GE and Blackford himself this evening said it was the nuclear option.
Withdrawing the Whip would leave his rump smaller than the Labour party, and might leave the rebels in the same boat.
Other than Johnson finally seeing the inevitable, every option is now a nuclear one.
So women twerking is fine. Is it black women twerking that represents the fall of civilisation?
Thanks for your company on a nerdtastic day
That's for both my political friends and political foe/friends.
Cheers for the LOL'S.
Not sure we can hit such heights again.
But tomorrow may excel?
Here's hoping.
Need a few days of calm before we do this all over against next week when the 22 allows the next confidence vote. Got to get some work actually done!
Then do her dance into number 10
As a way out of our present mess Boris could strip down to his undies, stand upside down on Southend Beach and twerk his booty for maybe a minute, and we could rate him out of 100 for how he did “the thun thun”. Perhaps then Sir Keir Starmer could do the same on Islington Green, peeling off his suit to do some “booty poppin”, or “booty clappin” to the tune of “shakin it fo Daddy” or “Dance A$$” played by his wife on harpsichord
In two month's time it is September, the next increase in the energy price cap is imminent and winter is coming. Johnson does need to go, but a summer of flapping about with a leadership election isn't going to do the party much good either.
Either way, it's attorney general questions at 10am in the Commons tomorrow.
And Braverman's no 2 quit yesterday

If a dance move at a protest can draw so much ire that its a debasing fall of civilisation, I wonder how much worse things could get?
Next week, the horror as its revealed that Democrats are stooping to doing the Robot while demanding that guns aren't brought into schools.
To top it off with the Moonwalk for protecting the First Amendment. Its like Sodom and Gomorrah come to life.
As every minute of the whole day is technically "after midnight"....
To bed.

Though I doubt its as bad or lasted as long as idiots glueing themselves to the road. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/04/22/insulate-britain-protest-delayed-ambulance-nearly-hour/
Though if they're only doing so while the person is being loaded into the ambulance, then move out of the way as the ambulance moves on once they're loaded, then that's possibly just drunk people being stupid and not party political at all.
“Why Black Americans do that wiggle of buttocks.. what does it mean? what does that mean in their culture?”
“Well look .. Thanks for the contribution .. We always see that they buttocks move like this .. more the Africans but at the same time it must have a meaning, sometimes they do it in response to something, What do they mean by that dance? really many people ignore it.”

Is the toast still in the toaster?
Just to make sure the burning files do NOT get out of control and burn down half of Whitehall?

Tennessee Republican Rep. Scott DesJarlais is 100% anti-abortion
Except that one time he asked his mistress to have an abortion in 2012
Oh yeah and the two times his wife did have an abortion
1. Boris Ousted
2. Theresa May becomes interim PM to avoid Con blood letting
3. SKS get FPN and resigns
4. Wes Streeting becomes leader of the Opposition (and pledges Brexit is over and done with except for a few tweaks on NI)
5. 2024 election - May Vs Streeting - Labour majority 20 - SNP seats halved.
I think at that point the country could finally heal...
Will it happen? I'd give it a 25% chance...
Shouldn't that (more likely) be, Theresa May could be drafted as caretaker Prime Minister if Boris FAILS TO QUIT AND MAKES MPS THROW HIM OUT, sources say.
That might just give him the motivation he needs!
