The Dubious World of Boris Johnson

Asked about the conduct described in the Sue Gray report, Boris Johnson told MPs: "I'd do it again."

Sadly think Boris will survive but on the positive side of things, more gaffes & cringeworthy moments from Nadine Dorries

if its more than 100 then he will be mortally wounded and i cant see him lasting past the 2 byelections even if he was to win and its not looking good in wakefield

if Boris Johnson were deposed, who would Conservative members want to succeed him?

Ben Wallace: 12%
Liz Truss: 11%
Jeremy Hunt: 10%
Penny Mordaunt: 8%
Rishi Sunak / Michael Gove: =7%
Priti Patel: 6%
Tom Tugendhat/Nadhim Zahawi: =5%
Dominic Raab: 4%

Bets on a 48-52 split?

Speaks for itself!! Disgusting that a failure of leadership and the breaking of specific laws - he himself introduced - as highlighted in the Gray report, and more importantly, through police investigations - he is happy to wear as a 'badge of honour'. If he survives, well the body politic has clearly changed from honourable service to dishonourable self service! I wonder what he basis his assertion that he would 'do it all again' on. What does he think was right about it, and how does he think it was in the best interests of those he supposedly serves. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!! Our crew from NI damn well better know which lobby to go into tomorrow! I am not sure why you used a shocked emoji Cooper. I don't think anyone should be given the calibre of this muppet!

Good grief, what a choice…!

I’m torn between the incompetence of Liz Truss and the strident fascism of Priti Patel.

On reflection, it might be better to leave Johnson where he is. Name a bridge after him. Let him play with some toys in the corner. And let the civil service run things until the next election.

I'd reckon Dominic Cummings probably will oust him at the next election if he stood as Independent

Slimy turds in politics seem to always get away with things they shouldn't, they are supposed to lead by example, but nope.
The smugness if he survives by even a tiny number will be immense, cringe inducing parliament antics incoming

My musings on the numbers.

No confidence votes are less than 100 = Boris likely stays/clings on for a number of months possibly to the next election.

No confidence votes are between 100 and 119 = Borderline territory. Limboland.

No confidence votes are at least 120 = Problems mounting for the PM. Trouble ahead with at least a third of his MPs wanting him out.

No confidence votes reach 130 = Big trouble for the PM. Majority of less than 100.

Substantially more than 130 = Boris is toast if not short term then long.
