So what scenario has Johnson got planned out in his head?

Survives this week because the 1922 committee won't change the rules until Monday. Presumably, he hopes Starmer is fined and Labour enters a leadership fight and that distracts the Tory Party from trying to oust him? But this has gone way too far so how can the party go back to normal after this level of rebellion?

If ever proof was needed that the UK doesn’t function it’s that the executive can be held hostage by one man who refuses to see what everyone else can who has maintained his position through jobs and patronages with absolutely no checks and balances.

Well, I’ve heard it said tonight, UK needs a written Constitution, no it doesn’t, America’s isn’t doing them any favours, they can’t rid themselves of the 2nd Amendment and because of it, right there, in written text, America won’t rid itself of its bad gun culture, costing many lives.

Also, let's put it in perspective here. Johnson defying his party's protests is bad for the party and the Government but it isn't a constitutional crisis. He is still the leader of the party and he still commands the confidence of the commons technically.

Yes, he has refused to read the writing on the wall but all the Tories are doing is trying to make him jump before he is pushed. If they want to remove him they can do so but formally kicking him out.

And therein lies the problem. He palpably doesn’t, yet we are relying on the invertebrates of the Conservative party developing spines, changing the rules a mere month after backing him, to remove a PM that’s a proven liar, has broken the law, meets foreign agents without officials and is completely incompetent.

There is no government without government ministers. You stated in an earlier post it’s not a constitutional crisis, it absolutely is.

The only mechanism now to rid of this stubborn Prime Minister, is for Parliament itself, Starmer could himself raise a no confidence vote, I reckon there would be two thirds requirement, to oust him, there is still the little issue of him going to Buckingham Palace to resign and naming a successor.

This is the thing, one has to go to the Queen and willingly to resign and name a successor, but this is a precedent expectation, to traditionally and seamlessly, pass on the transfer of power.

Could we see the Queen, step in and rarely use her authority, something she never wants to do, but has to, we’re in exceptional circumstances.

I still think it's not a constitutional crisis. What parts of it have been tested yet? The notion the PM should go when the men in grey suits tell them to do so may be a Tory Party tradition but behind that tradition is the implication that if they don't do so they'll be booted out anyway. Johnson has decided that rather than go quietly he'll go kicking and screaming.

But in theory, the Tories will have their vote, he loses and he resigns. If he were to ignore the results of that vote and/or try to call an election then it's a constitutional crisis.

This is just weird and a little bit a funny so far.

Yes it is a constitutional crisis, I really don’t know how you can say it’s not, right now, as of this morning, the process of government grinds to a halt. Nothing practical in these departments can be done, every one of them is in disarray. As he tries to fill them, with new, completely inexperienced people trying to get on. This is not just harming the Tory party, it’s harming the entire country, that’s a Constitutional crisis right there.

If he stands down as Leader but remains PM while the couple of months of Leadership campaigning elapse, who will agree to serve under these arrangements?

If he has no credible government in the interim, then will he resign as PM? Possible, more so than less imo now that he has taken this step.

If he stands down as PM, Raab will be at the helm while the processes take their course.

Not sure you’ve fully thought this through…

There are around 260 backbenchers, who are part of the 1922 Committee - sack all of them, and you are only left with the "payroll’ vote of around 95 Government Ministers (well, around 45 now…).

He looked well out of his depth during those few days he did the job while Boza had Covid, so how he'd be if he had to do a few months I dread to think. They should give Teresa a call and see if she fancies steadying the ship and sticking one up at Boza at the same time.

On a side note, are we likely to see a by-election in Uxbridge and South Ruislip? He didn't have a massive majority.

I wonder if they've started using Bexit as a hashtag yet.

The best bit about all of this is the trashing of the Tory brand. It will, in all probability, cost them the next election. I think a period out of office will be good for them.

Don't forget, they all knew that Johnson was a fraud and a liar when the appointed him and then supported him. They are all complicit in this debacle.

Well there you have it, ignore the publics 14 million ish votes in favour of a bunch of self serving back stabbers, once we have a new PM the same backstabbers will start all over again.

The backstabbers are the ones who actually got the 14 million votes. We don’t elect a president in this country.

Downing Street sources suggest Boris Johnson is currently tweaking his resignation statement. Some concern he may not actually read out what was prepared.

not really...

I hear that he’s appointing a Mister Joris Bohnson as interim PM.

Sir Beer going for the Vote of No Confidence is he clings on. Great way to make him look statesmanlike. Can get Angela and the lads round for a curry in his office to celebrate when they win. Can laugh at the chaos the Tories are causing if they lose.

A no loss situation.
