I think he will easily survive this.
Needs to get a grip of the cost of fuel and energy though.
Everyone has forgotten Sunaks give away I bet.
It needs a clear reduction in VAT and green levys.

[Winston]

It’s a poll so you need to vote

Needs more nuance options. He will survive the but is still toast. He will be badly wounded tonight and then killed off after bad by election results this month

[kippers]

You wish.

The BBC are reporting if he survives a confidence vote the Tories can't call another  one until June 2023

Which is why it's not nuanced but a poll on tonight's vote

I don't understand the argument he's toast after the by-election given it's days away

[MF(c) DOOM]

If tonight he has 100 of his own party sat they have no confidence in him as a leader then as seems likely the conservatives get mullered in the next two by-elections his position seems pretty untenable. They will find a way to oust him or he will have to resign.

Yer right like, the rebels should have waited until after the by election results before putting the letters in. They would have had more spooked tory MPs supporting them then.

He will not resign but he might stand down just before the next GE.

It was amusing this morning listening to LBC playing the Rees Mogg reaction to Theresa May's result a few years back and last night's. Essentially, May was toast, but Boris with more "feck off" votes had secured a victory! He's dead in the water now, they can't do out for another year and there's no way he'll fall before he's pushed. I reckon they'll run the full term and elbow him aside with a year to go.

Boris will now put the fear of God into the treacherous scum in his party. No doubt there will be a reshuffle. However,his trump card could be to call a vote of confidence in his government. If the Tory traitors vote with the opposition then there will have to be an early election. They will effectively have  signed their own death warrant.It’s rumored that he will take the whip from at least twenty of the worst offenders so they will not be able to stand as a Tory in the election. This vote was no bad thing as he might make get back on track ,and start initiating real Tory policies that ordinary voters want.
