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…
