Publicly committed his support last night.....

Johnson will tell them he’ll resign,

then will claim it never happened,

then will say it happened but he wasn’t there

then he’ll say it happened but he’d forgotten all about it,

then he will say when he said ‘resign’, he actually meant ‘re-sign’…

Starmer playing with Boris in PMQs, such as a cat would with a mouse.

Last PMQs for both?

He was ambushed by the sign and is furious no one told him it was a sign

Is Javid doing to Johnson what Howe did to Thatcher?

Mick's point about Johnson being willing to spark a constitutional crisis rather than resign might be right: https://twitter.com/mikeysmith/statu...58131183190019

Well-placed source convinced Boris Johnson won’t quit, even if the 22 change the rules, and he loses a VONC.

Instead, he’ll claim he has a mandate from 14m voters, and will threaten to force an election - but not before deselecting everyone who voted against him

Suggestions Michael Gove is weighing going to the PM and saying times up - although his 2016 experience weighing in his mind I’m told

If he does it he could lead a delegation of cabinet ministers (tho plenty wouldn’t take part)

Understand the men in grey suits will tell the PM this evening that he has to leave or face a second confidence vote.
