And Boris the Clown continues? Will he actually drop the act and show us a REAL politician/leader? Or will it be more of the same old b******s?

It's a secret ballot.

I don’t expect him to see out the year, but you never know. Personally, I would prefer him to fight another election. I doubt he will get that chance.

Even I wouldn't wish that humiliation on him!

What did that victorian hat stand say when Mrs May got a similar result, some twaddle about it being awful or something just lost consciousness listening to him, smug, boring prick

Sir Keith gets to point out that 40% of the folk sitting behind him have no confidence in him.

I don’t know how you have the audacity, to even say this when you were quite content to have Jeremy Corbyn, in no 10. :erm:

Boris Johnson’s vote hasn’t slipped that much since the Conservative Leadership election in 2019. Back then, he received 66% of the vote against Jeremy Hunt. In this vote of confidence, he achieved 59%, which is still a very decisive result.

I think you guys need to chill. Boris remains in power. This is a storm in a teacup and the frantic speculation that it is only a short time before he leaves office is a measure of your desperation.

He is firmly in position, despite some of the predictions on here, and he lives to fight another day. There will be many more of them.

I see you got the Whips’ WhatsApp message, then… ;)

However, in the real world, 117 voted against May, and 148 against Johnson, so if you’re playing the percentages game, 26.5% more Tory MPs voted against Johnson…

All we are witnessing here is a Pro-remain parliament and pro-remain Tory party enacting revenge on the man that got Brexit over the line.
