Senior Conservative backbencher tells me tonight they are confident of getting to 54 letters tomorrow to try and oust the PM.

“Up the revolution!” they tell me.

No 10 / whips subjecting them to “threats and blackmail” but has only angered MPs further, they say.

You have changed his denial into a separate assertion.

This might help you to understand the situation.

Indeed.

Watching the Beth Rigby interview made for uncomfortable viewing. In terms of a bad interview, it was only beaten by Prince Andrew's.

My letter has gone in, but don't know if it counts??:confused:

Anyway, whatever your politics the country is better off without Big Dog living it large at our expense. Let him take that wallpaper as a keepsake.

One senior Tory has messaged me to say they are hearing there might be a statement from Sir Graham Brady first thing tomorrow morning and that the PM has been told tonight.
Not confirmed - but there’s a sense of real movement tonight.

the momentum against Johnson seems to be gathering very quickly

Mod edit (Chris): Please don’t forget to put quote tags around content you’re … welll … quoting. It gets quite confusing otherwise.

If K stands for Kawczynski, Knight, Kruger or Kwarteng then it's possibly not wasted.

It’d be a great laugh if Johnson actually won the vote of no confidence (assuming there is one). I genuinely hope he does. The public will see through the charade the process is anyway and there will be no bounce in the polls the issue of “next leader” just trundles along until the next farce.

If we are stuck with the Tories until 2024 then a civil war while led by a buffoon at least provides entertainment value and (assuming Labour can’t win in Scotland) a better chance of a working majority for Starmer.

He’s terminal. The only question is whether to put him out his misery or not.

It's embarrassing to be British at the moment. We should be at the heart of the West putting the pressure on Russia over Ukraine. Instead, we're being ridiculed by Ghana who called out the campaign to save Johnson as "Operation Deadmeat".

The sooner the Big Dog is put down the better. I'm certainly looking forward to PMQs.

Actually we are involved in Ukraine, far more deeply than many realise. It’s not an either/or situation - government goes on even when the prime minister is a numpty.

Terrible timing for Johnson.

Tory MP defects to Labour party

Christian Wakeford, the MP for Bury South, has defected to the Labour Party this afternoon, Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed.

In a statement, the Labour leader said: "I would like to welcome Christian Wakeford to the Labour Party. He has always put the people of Bury South first.

"As Christian said, the policies of the Conservative government are doing nothing to help the people of Bury South and indeed are only making the struggles they face on a daily basis worse.

"People across Britain faces a cost of living crisis but this incompetent Tory government is asleep at the wheel, distracted by a chaos of its own making. Meanwhile families, businesses and pensioners are suffering from the Conservative failure to tackle rising food, fuel and energy prices.

"Labour are the only ones who have put forward a plan to help people through the Tory cost of living crisis.

I think you should consider driving to Barnard Castle.
