How much waterboarding can this man take before he signs the resignation letter that's been drafted for him. 

He’s been through many a golden shower, this is easy for him.

Payroll don't attend I don't think, it's for non-Government MPs.

150 is pretty much capacity. Or it was, until the 40 odd people who've resigned can now be added to it.

Ministers can attend (not vote)

No. They could change the rules right now. It doesn’t need a new committee. At least according to all the politicos, that’s the case. Looks like they’ve left it til next week, so they don’t get their hands dirty and he can “resign”, rather than be booted out via them.

Its the committee itself not all the backbench MPs that can change the rules. Thats why they need to change the committee itself first

Can we replace him with a parrot that says "Get things done, get things done" tries to f*** a lampshade and shits all over the office?

 

So we gain a nice plumage and otherwise nothing changes?

Pete's right. It's an organisation that makes its own rules. If the current committee decided they wanted to change the rule right now, there isn't anything that stops that.

They're just giving it a sheen of probity, and with an election happening anyway they might as well stick a "mandate to change the rules" cherry on top.

Put it this way, if the 1922 committee election were nine months away, they wouldn't be throwing their hands in the air and saying there was nothing they could do for nine months.

Yeah, that's how I see it. 

I don't think they would really want to change the rules so another VONC can be held at the drop of a hat. It's not a great thing to have, I think they want Bozza to do the the right thing so they don't have to.  Their tack will be "we will do this on Monday so you're gone then if you don't resign by then"

I think the 12 month gap is also silly though, as we've seen here very major things can happen shortly or even months after a defended VONC which materially changes things.  Maybe another could be called but with a bigger majority threshold needed. 

What do other parties do?

BBC in thick as F shocker

They have to change the committee, in order to change the rules in order to get a new VONC

That's not what was being reported this morning. If the no confidence letters reach over 50% of MPS there was speculation the 1922 committee could call another VONC or even ask Boris to resign.

If Boris doesn't abide by the rules why should the 1922 committee promoting someone with sexual misconduct allegations is serious enough to warrant extraordinary measures.
