Tiverton and Honiton, Devon - Tory majority 24,239 , MP Neil Parish resigned after admitting watching pornography in Parliament
If the Tories lose both, which excuses will we hear?
This always happens mid-term
Lets move on, we have the economy to sort out
Just a protest vote

A public bumming for the Tories! |
It is but you have to wonder at the sheer audacity of Borass who will never resign no matter what damages he causes to his own party.He is that arrogant. That is he result of a public school education.No privilege at all really | |

Not public school generally but his school in particular. That education combined with his inherent arrogance is a dangerous combination.
You’re right, no way is he going to go voluntarily. It’s just not the Boris way. In theory, he’s got another year at least but if some of the Tory bug-wigs see sense, they may change the rules.
Unfortunately, the cabinet sycophants can’t see the wood for the trees or maybe they can’t see anyone else who could win them the next election. |  |

When they change him the Conservatives will have a bounce, personally I think they will leave it until they are ready to have a general election then do it. |  | | |

To both major parties. There is still the Durham report to come in and the word is there will be fines. [Post edited 24 Jun 2022 12:31]

Quite possibly and of course it’s who replaces him as well? I can’t think of one worthy candidate at present. | |

At lease KS will do the honourable thing and resign if he is fined, BTW, I don't think charges will be brought, what's he done, had a bottle of beer at the end of a working day, could just as well have been a glass of water or a cup of tea. | | | |

Shows how absolutely ludicrous the rules were. But Sir Keir knew the rules and was often advocating for more draconian rules. If he knew he would be photographed/filmed that bottle of beer would have remained in the fridge and he’d be fully masked up. | | | |

I've mentioned before that the COVID regs were different when KS had that beer to when Johnson had his party | | | |

The word is that they have been asked to re check the interpretation of the rules at the time. Starmer sent his questionnaire back a week ago and is putting plans into place if he needs to be replaced. | | | |

The Thunderbird is sharpening his knives.
Did anyone do the press rounds this morning ? Raab was supposed to. Have you noticed he always looks surprised ? Patel et al are also very quiet. | | | |

Just a quick take on the by-election results from last night before anybody gets too carried away. It’s glaringly obvious that neither the Lib-Dems or Labour can lay claim to universal, nationwide appeal. Labour hobbled to 3.7% in Devon while the Libs barely registered at 1.8% in Yorkshire.
Apathy was the big winner. Turn-out in Tiverton barely got above half of eligible voters, while in Wakefield it was down at 39%. There’s no mandate there, only derision for the whole, tired process. |  |

We still have to wait for the Parliamentary Committee to see if BoJo lied to parliament.
If he did, then its a resignation matter, well it was under the old ministerial code that he's just changed, now its a slap on the wrist and an apology. | |

Not sure that’s right. If he’s lied, it’s still resign, and ant change can’t be retrospective. What I suspect will happen is that he’ll be told there will be another no confidence vote and he will be gone. (Apparently that’s what happened with May) | | | |

I'm surprised that Labour supporters actually want Johnson gone. They will do better with him there than someone else. | | | |

Indeed. Which further proves the idiocy of these rules. There’s a deadly virus about so it’s completely unsafe and illegal to have cheese and wine in May but it’s completely fine to have a beer and a curry after work with several other people in April, the rules were so arbitrary and unnecessary. | | | |

Not medically qualified. People who are experts gave their advice and the regs were based on that. I’m not going to argue with them. | | | |

Its also clear that tactical voting can kick any Tory MP out of office.
Thats the story here.
So will the Tory MPs get rid of him, or let the people get rid of him.
Johnson is nailed on to lose his own seat.
Partying whilst people mourned will not be forgiven.
Johnson is toast.
And the shitehouse ran away to hide in Rwanda. | |
