Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
And Boris the Clown continues? Will he actually drop the act and show us a REAL politician/leader? Or will it be more of the same old b******s?

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
Sir Keith gets to point out that 40% of the folk sitting behind him have no confidence in him.

I don’t know how you have the audacity, to even say this when you were quite content to have Jeremy Corbyn, in no 10.

Boris Johnson’s vote hasn’t slipped that much since the Conservative Leadership election in 2019. Back then, he received 66% of the vote against Jeremy Hunt. In this vote of confidence, he achieved 59%, which is still a very decisive result.
I think you guys need to chill. Boris remains in power. This is a storm in a teacup and the frantic speculation that it is only a short time before he leaves office is a measure of your desperation.
He is firmly in position, despite some of the predictions on here, and he lives to fight another day. There will be many more of them.

I see you got the Whips’ WhatsApp message, then… 
However, in the real world, 117 voted against May, and 148 against Johnson, so if you’re playing the percentages game, 26.5% more Tory MPs voted against Johnson…

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
All we are witnessing here is a Pro-remain parliament and pro-remain Tory party enacting revenge on the man that got Brexit over the line.
