A big time political commentator has called on Keir Starmer to call a vote of no confidence in the government in the Commons tomorrow.

Would be a mistake and unite the torys.

Johnson is no different to Trump, he doesn't give a shit about the party. He only cares about himself being PM. Only way to remove him us general election, or party changing the rules to allow more vonc.

He can’t work with a party who are fighting him … it’s gonna look a complete mess … this by election on my birthday might be my happiest birthday for a while

yeah, I can't see the point. May as well just stand back and watch the fireworks. Labour might have it's own problems soon if Starmer and Rayner are fined.

Also because it would trigger a GE wouldn't it if the rebels voted with labour? So they won't want that as they'll all be losing their seats!

If they really think getting rid of Johnson is best for the country then they are duty bound to vote against their Government.

Apparently the Tories nearly changed the rules to allow more votes of no confidence when Theresa May was being bundled out the door in 2018/19. So it is possible such behind-the-scenes politicking could be being done.

The Tories change the rules as they see fit. There will be probably be more resignations coming over the next couple of days. 
 

More and more MP’s will distance themselves from Spaffer and the Tory party will just crumble and flounder their way to the next election. 
 

You know more details about his dodgy behaviour will be coming out as well.

Move on mate, the result was a whole 27 minutes ago it's in the past now. We need to move on.

Unfortunately the next round (by election results) will be playing out whilst we're distracted by events on the fields of Pilton.

If those results are bad I expect the '22 will change the rules and do a VONC round two.

My MP pledged her support for Boris today.No doubt she will be rewarded in the reshuffle.

That's going to be very interesting when all those promised new positions find out he was lying again.

My prediction for response of Boris. Get another photo op with Zelensky, offer some tax cuts for the wealthy, hand out a few knighthoods and peerages and go after a few minorities.

Johnson is saying he’s got a bigger mandate than when he was elected Tory leader. He’s utterly shameless. 

[Crazyfool01]

Wow just wow … I mean it’s not unexpected … but what on earth … this is good news ?!  His response 

[Ryan1984]

He’s refusing to answer about a GE. Claims it’s a positive and conclusive result and made a dig at his “friends in the media” for their agenda.

I have to laugh, it's almost as if he's over the moon because he WON, plain and simple; he really doesn't care about numbers, details or context does he?!

He’s staying in power, that’s all he cares about.
