In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He's not going to go voluntarily.
The only thing that matters to him is power. He knows that he made it to the top job and when he's gone that's it. He will never have that power again so he will cling on for dear life.
The rest is all secondary.
But he will be gone.
The only real decision is to announce it before the 6pm or 9pm news
Telling Boris if he doesn’t resign he’ll get his British nationality stripped and sent back to Turkey.
You think he's going to walk?
Also, worth stating that Chris Pincher still is an MP.
Maybe not till Monday when the 1922 Committee which sets the rules for elections within the Tories is going to elect a Committee. They are then likely to change the rules for confidence votes allowing another confidence vote for the PM.
But it is possible that he will go before then.
But as you say, he is on borrowed time.
How does that get Boris out?
Yes... I think he will see it as a better personal legacy than loosing a confidence vote
It doesn't. Unless the new Committee decide to change the rules on Monday. This could just be Sir Graham Brady not wanting to upset precedent.
It would be just like Boris to hang on until he has called an election, then 2 weeks into the election, resign as party leader... not sure what happens then!
Interesting point.
Assuming he manages to stay until Monday and the new 1922 Committee pass a rule change and there is then another confidence vote, which he looses, doesn't he then have to stand down before he could call a snap election?
If the new committee voted to change the rules and allow a second confidence vote.
I think they're putting all their hope on Boris doing the honourable thing and step down.
If he doesn't/threatens a GE, the Tories are in a very difficult place.
Any chance he gives Ukraine a trident sub before he goes?
He would no longer be party leader but would still be Prime Minister with the power to call an election.
Go on Boris, call an election and take your party down with you.
Well, I am glad the end is finally here for that pri**.
Changing the rules half way through the game is not a good look. I don't see what option they have though.
Hilarious.
I watched some of the liaison committee this afternoon with Boris rocking on the edge of his chair throughout like a naughty schoolboy.
He said um or er about 4000 times and told almost as many lies.
The only person in that room who didn't know the game was up was Boris Johnson.
He'll be gone one way or another in the next few days.
So we think he’s gone tonight?
Is Zahawi really calling for Boris to go now? That would be hilarious
Come on Boris - tell them to go feck themselves and call an election. Take them all down with you.
I dont think he'll go. He wont go willingly and they cant force him, probably drag on a bit longer.
If I were a betting man, I'd put money on him calling a ge.
Of course they can force him, quite easily in fact.
Not today, i was replying to elvis post
starmer has been anonymous. force him into campaigning and i'm not sure labour's polling lead would hold. as divided as the tories are right now, labour is also massively divided.
Not until next week.
Dunno I liked his jibe earlier during PM's "Isn't this the first recorded case of the sinking ships fleeing the rat"
