Mm, Mr Johnson upset that a Labour MP might be on the committee. And even convene it.

Rishi may nominally have a large majority but he's in a weak position and everyone knows it. Go to bat for Boris and it takes around 40 rebels to be defeated. That sounds achievable. Don't go to bat for Boris and many more than 40 may rebel, without changing the outcome, and thus making Rishi look even weaker.

Seems 24 hours is
I mean, this doesn't even make sense!
'I am being forced out by a tiny handful of people, with no evidence to back up their assertions, and without approval even of Conservative party members let alone the wider electorate.
'I believe that a dangerous and unsettling precedent is being set'
He's standing down to avoid defeat.
Goodnight gentlemen.
Nest for Trump to be locked up to save American demicracy, too,.
Common theme of abusers everywhere.
With that said, I really hope people don't buy his sob story - he is not being forced out by a handful of MPs based on nothing - for all its issues the nature of the Act gives him a shot at convincing his electorate that the MPs recommending sanction (and the House had it approved it) were wrong to do so, or that a recall was punishment enough. That adds in the ability to stick two fingers up to the Committee and be triumphant.
Presenting as though he lacks that option (or, more likely, does not feel up to it), is just fundamentally dishonest.
End as you started I guess.
If he quits he can say "I would have won if I stood".
I’m going to stop work, open a bottle of beer, and eat some banana bread to celebrate.
Just fuck off.
Just when a few people on here were talking up their prospects of 'swingback' (no don't laugh) the tories manage to self-immolate. Again.
