hippo Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The 1922 committee of Tory backbenchers has decided not to change the rules to allow a second confidence vote against Boris Johnson, the BBC has been told. It will instead hold an election on Monday to choose its new executive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I reckon Johnson will ride this out. No resignation, no change in 1922 committee rules. He is going to cling on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 To do it in proper Trump meltdown style, I hope that somebody is calling a press conference at a garden centre in Chingford at the moment where Nadine Dorries is going to shout about stolen votes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting at my desk at work in Leicester. I had Radio 4 playing in one ear on my very hi-tech Walkman / LW radio with very posh in ear headphones.

I think he is playing the sympathy card. The Tories though have to sort this one way or the other. It going to be a whole new cabinet if he stays.
