Like most of your statements, it is non-contiguous with actuality.

I have never supported, or voted Labour, in any Election in my life.

If we were Labour supporters, we'd want Starmer's useful idiot (Boris Johnson) to remain in power, so he loses both his seat and the election in 2025.

Time is even more of the essence for the Conservative Party in that case.

List below of the likely 29 MPs who have put letters in. Interestingly
Quote:
My best guess is that such a total would be on the low side, and that we are now within about ten votes of a challenge.

A well-placed Minister told me on Friday that the odds of one are now “less than evens”.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion

Not heard anything from the Conservative candidate in Wakefield yet, wondering how they'll deal with Boris when asked. The Labour chap is busy getting his name out there but so far not mentioned the goings on in either leadership. My guess is they'll both skirt the big subject, but if Kier doesn't get his collar felt then the Labour campaign will not hold back.

My understanding is they won't be campaigning in the local elections. It worked in Hartlepool so they're hoping it will work here too.

Former leader predicts PM could face vote of confidence as soon as next week

Boris Johnson is likely to face a vote of confidence in his leadership by the end of June, a former party leader has claimed.

Lord Hague said the prime minister "is in real trouble here" and MPs "are moving towards having a ballot".

He told Times Radio: "Well I think Boris Johnson is in real trouble here and when an MP as reputable, as experienced, as respected as (Sir) Bob Neill who we were just listening to gives that opinion, that he's just given, that's very serious trouble for the prime minister and I think the Sue Gray report has been one of those sort of slow-fuse explosions in politics.
https://news.sky.com/story/politics-...pport-12593360

As a reminder, Sir Bob Neill's post on his site concluded
Quote:
Trust is the most important commodity in politics, but these events have undermined trust in not just the office of the Prime Minister, but in the political process itself. To rebuild that trust and move on, a change in leadership is required.
