Another Tory MP resigns
Discussion
Some more will get drunk tonight and say they are going to do it... fa fa fa Johnson was a hero etc.
...and will wake up tomorrow and decide that the salary and the power and... funnily enough.
Got another +/- 16 months in the trough... let's bleed it for all we can get. They know they'll lose their seat, but might as well f
k the rest of us for as long as they can.
ETA: Did I ever mention I don't like or trust this lot?

How many more do we need to boot the fkers out...
As i predicted last night, drip drip.. Anyway you are asking the wrong question. The correct question is how many MPs have to resign before Rishi is forced to resign himself. There is a certain irony that this in a different form is what did for Boris.kers out...Vanden Saab said:

I think more than this.It was by-elections anyway if Dorries and Adams had got their peerages.
Outside of a few sad Johnson loyalists the public just see this as throwing toys out their prams and rats in a sack infighting.
They don't much care for it IMO.

Rishi won’t resign. Yep, there’s a few Boris loyalists who may quit but the majority will stay and I think if Rishi’s back is really against the wall then he’ll simply call a general election as a ‘f
k you’ to all those in the party plotting against him knowing most of the Boris ultras will lose their seats.Vanden Saab said:

It’s not clear how much support Boris now has within the party, even before the outcome of the inquiry his base was looking thinner, but there’s no doubt Rishi will be feeling the heat. I imagine his team will be rallying round, but I can’t see any forced resignation in the near future, though I could see him threatening to go to the country. Blue62 said:

Tory party needs stability and calm not another internecine war that will take months and piss the country off even more so than it is now and we’re not actually that far from entering the election period.

To collapse the government and force a leadership election that will solve nothing, or an early GE they’ll be wiped out in? Resigning to support another guy that’s resigned is a very odd thing to do. Or do they think annihilation is assured and they’ll get the old band back together in opposition? These guys are minted, I can’t see them finding much joy in opposition as opposed to power.

Two of these should be very safe seats, but at the moment who knows what the electorate will do as this is a safe way of giving the party a kicking.

I’m starting to get the same feeling in my gut as I did in 1996 / 97.
The only difference is I don’t feel as engaged with Starmer now as I did with Blair then.
100% agree. If only the Opposition was the 'obvious' answer to our current dissatisfaction????The only difference is I don’t feel as engaged with Starmer now as I did with Blair then.
