Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
Twitter lobby journalists are predicting about 100 MPs to vote against Johnson.

The law was broken as it was a non-work meeting. Unlike the leaving-dos.

The cake was a quick happy birthday between meetings. It was, as I said, an over-reaction of the Met Police to issue him with a fine. It lasted all of 9 minutes.
How anyone can view that as a Covid breach and Starmer’s AFTER WORK dinner and beers with others in a house as within the law, I’m afraid, escapes me! We are told it went on until 1am and they came out sloshed.

Yeah silly me, wanting everyone's vote to count and the government not being in the pocket of rich chums or unions is to high an aspiration for this country

Boris has dealt with crises that no other previous leader has had to deal with, and there was no book on what to do.
If Steptoe had one he would have put getting us back into the EU over Covid.

Glad to see you're as good with the truth as Boris. Even Sue Grey's official report says Boris was there for the entire 20 mins and I'd not be surprised if 20 mins was the minimum admission they thought they could get away with.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
I suspect the result will be closer than I would have liked!

Boris is a bad egg. The sooner we have rid of him the better. Just needs the right person to step up (as in not one of those on manoeuvres).

There aren't any pundits expecting him to lose, I think the declared supporters are high enough. It's if the 100 votes against the barrier are reached and then if he gets a higher percentage of the parliamentary party voting against him than May did.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
I think most people think Boris will win but the bonus is the Conservatives will just be giving themselves a further 12 months for him to destroy any public support they still have. So unless he resigns (unlikely when you're so arrogant), we've got a long drawn out car crash of a premiership to look forward to until they can have another go this time next year. Thinking about it, I'm not sure which outcome I'll enjoy the most!

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
He's nothing like Treason may,no need to resign if he get's 50% +1 vote,i don't see the need to reinvent the rules of the vote.

Voting has now finished in the Conservatives' confidence ballot on Boris Johnson's leadership.
For the past two hours Tory MPs have been lining up to cast their vote on whether they want the PM to continue in his post.
Sir Graham Brady is expected to make a statement with the results at around 9pm

Within the margins of the next leader to bribe MPs with jobs on Government payroll. Or Putin to target his investment in the UK political system. After all these goons need second jobs to survive.
