You're right, I think, although he could decide to go out in a blaze of glory so he can write in his memoirs that he was cruelly betrayed and "I would have been the best PM evs if it hadn't been for": Brexit Covid Partygate Corruption Scandal Biblical scale lying Being truly awful and shit at the job |

I think he's closer to be ousted today than he was yesterday. Because that's the way time works. Time's Arrow and all that.... |

Though, per Iain Dale, "As a student of 8 Tory leadership contests over 32 years all my instincts are that the threshold of 54 MPs has been, or is close to being met. The list so far is very far from being full of the 'usual suspects' Next week could be very interesting indeed when Parliament returns." Graham Brady said he would wait until recess is over, so we have another week of conjecture..! twitter.com |

When Johnson does eventually go this thread will be so much quieter, what with JB no longer posting that he’ll be going, and fozzy will have one less thing to snipe about

I'm looking forward to the thread being about actual policy rather than about values, or rigging the system, or even dead cats!

@fields a good proxy list of EU countries with most loopholes are those that didn't vote for EU proposed rules in 2019 forcing international groups to declare how much tax they paid in each country Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Cyprus, Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Croatia {Sweden voted against - but they have more stringent disclosure rules). Re: Boris. I think a lot of tory MPs are waiting for the results of the two upcoming by-elections before deciding whether to put in letters. The problem for them of course is, if they vote him out, who takes his place? |

54 votes reached they reckon, but Brady waiting til after recess to announce this. He's gone. If they haven't quite got the 54, the by-elections will clinch it. Big G and B Rubble and possibly Doogs looking like the most likely winners now. Of course he could win the confidence vote, but winning such a thing isn't enough, it can leave you permanently damaged with enough opposition anyway. |

Big G and B Rubble and possibly Doogs looking like the most likely winners now. I thought that was a reference to the leadership contenders for a minute. Big G - Geoffrey Cox B Rubble - Admiral Sir Frank Marcois, OBE, VC, MIA Doogs - Can only be Mogg. What the boys at Eton called him while they were thrashing him with bars of soap wrapped in towels. |
