'Bye Boris' 
Even if the 1922 committee change their rules and vote no confidence in Boris, he can just say no and keep on, right?
nope if they rule they have no confidence in him he has to step down as he would no longer command a majority in his own party... he would likely stay on whilst they appointed a successor though in theory he could go straight away with a temporary PM put in place (id guess Davis Davies or william hauge if that happened but Id expect boris to agree to go without a vote and stay on in the meantime )
That was amazing after the silence for Javid….Bye Boris'Bye Boris'
Funniest thing I've heard all dayThat was amazing after the silence for Javid….Bye Boris
Everyone's resigning, is there anyone left at this point? Has @Mr Pigeon resigned?
I mean, you can lie in Parliment all you want, that's all good .... but CLAP?! That's too much.
Sadly my own MP has said naff all on the topic, he is still a huge lickspittle for Boris.
Also remember you cannot call someone a liar if they have lied.
Or indeed, you can't say that they are a criminal, even if they have been found guilty, and are considered as one.
The clapping is fecking mortifying. Applauding themselves for 12 years of Tory feckery. The bastards who have resigned about equal the bastards left right now. Priti or Gove would tip the scales.
Anyway I'm team Boris in all this, I want to see him Hindenburg his whole party towards a general election.

What is wrong with this speaker? I wonder whether he's going senile or something at this point.
I was never a fan of Coutinho anyway, rubbish at Villa, Barcelona, Bayern and Liverpool....
Probably rubbish though.
Think that's the best PMQ from Starmer so far, was on a plate for him to be fair but he took the opportunity well with some good soundbites.
Technically yes. If he loses the VONC he is no longer Tory Party Leader but will remain PM until he resigns. And the PM has sole power (thanks to an Act of Parliament Johnson introduced) to call a General Election.
When has that ever stopped him before? He'll just get pritti vacant to have all deserters arrested.
Don't you guys have any sort of parliamentary vote of no confidence? The entire point of a representative democracy is that the Prime Minister is only the Prime Minister as long as they have the backing of 50%+1 of the representative body.
Rarely ever used, because I'm pretty sure it's a vote of no confidence in the entire government rather than just a single person. Potentially forces a general election too. (Although they've changed the laws on general elections loads in the last 10 years making it really difficult to force general elections beyond the incumbent administration calling one).
With the large Tory majority, any motion is likely to be defeated.
Also the last one was in 1979 and the one before was 1924. So would be a massive deal if one is successfully proposed.
Damn this is potentially getting proper Trumpian with BJ threatening to hold the Tory Party to ransom.
He's trying to frame it as either power with him and his long, girthy mandate - or face potential political abyss at the polls.
Has there ever been a leader of any major British political party so willing to put their personal careers over their party? Blair perhaps, but he never faced anything like this...

Doesn't he play for West Ham?
At 48 seconds, do ministers sit on the stairs? Who is she?
Surely boris will smash this. 26 now.
