Alright, is this a private vote, or do we get to find out which way people voted? I assume the former but, just wondering which way Theresa May will vote - I reckon she'll be delighted to have the chance to vote him down...

He'll be against. The ones who were in the cabinet but left when Johnson took over like him were obviously because they wouldn't or couldn't swear unyielding loyalty. Not like him rejoining a Johnson led cabinet would help his career either, is it.Hunt is of interest I guess
Boris is, yes.An exercise in pointlessness
Johnson surrounded himself with second rate supporters because they're the only ones that would go anywhere near him. People without a hope in hells chance of getting a decent government position with a leader with any kind of standards and not intelligent enough to work out he's only in it for himself and will use them as sacrificial lambs whenever he needs to deflect attention.I park a lot of the noise and just look at whether this cabinet has got the ideas and capability to deliver policy to get us through what will undoubtedly be a tricky time. I think we all know that answer at the moment
One of biggest mistakes Johnson has made is surrounding himself by second rate supporters in cabinet. No challenge and little intellect (other than Sunak and Gove). He’s had the chances to change it and change his ways but chosen not to
This 'he got the big calls right' narrative is such bullshit. Amazing how many people fall for it though.
As if everyone in government was saying 'no, we don't want vaccines to fight this deadly virus!' but big brave Boris stood up to them and made the big call that actually yes, vaccines would be helpful. What a hero.
Youve got to be balanced PVA, the call to get Bingham in was a masterstroke as was funding Oxford and the gov pushing to use AZ as producer at cost (saved lives worldwide). He also called it right to not close down this Xmas against huge pressure. On Ukraine he was probably the strongest/most supportive western leader, especially early doors. biden has subsequently stepped up.
However, unfortunately for Johnson, his fuckup list is longer !!!
Missus not happy this morning TGP ?!
The fallout whatever the actual numbers tonight will show a divided party, lots of infighting and a rudderless ship. With two important by-elections only a few weeks away it won’t have helped the Tory candidates at all. Obviously 180+ votes today he is safe for now (this idea of a year is arbitrary as the 1922 can and if they need to will change the rules). I think he needs 250+ to have a fighting chance of seeing this year out as pm and 290+ to see himself through to the next election.

Anyone with half a brain should have had alarm bells ringing the second they were ordered by a leader to take a pledge of loyalty to them in order to get the gig, especially in one of the foremost democracies in the world.
Not true.The same democracy in which at the last GE every political leader except Johnson dedicated their parties to overturning the biggest democratic vote in UK history.

Well someone speculated 70 earlier.I agree that they might change the rules around 12 month period…I think they’re probably going to have to with Johnson !! I don’t get why number of letters isn’t released ? Also, for me, I think 30% should be enough to trigger leadership contest but then current PM/leader can stay in the mix. Almost like a you can either stick with me or choose one of them scenario.
It’s hard to make a call when you don’t know who the alternatives will be and what they’re proposing*
Has this changed as didnt Heseltine run against Thatcher ? now it appears you lose no confidence vote and you resign…or have I missed something/got it wrong ?
*I appreciate many will say anyone/anything’s better but you get my point
Leader used to have to be elected annually by MPs. It was a formality most of thetime, of course.Has this changed as didnt Heseltine run against Thatcher ? now it appears you lose no confidence vote and you resign…or have I missed something/got it wrong
JRM sounds pretty desperate.
Is this guy legit? Something to keep an eye on if he is. Googling him seems a split between the likes of Guido having him as a crank and the likes of Huff Post & Wired showing him as more credible.
