I think Thatcher already had a leadership challenge (from Anthony Meyer the ‘stalking horse’) after a damning speech from Geoffrey Howe. She won the first round, but it was a narrow victory and she was advised to resign, which she did. Meyer’s bid flushed out other candidates (notably Michael Heseltine)but eventually John Major won.

Victorian Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 They're already being threatened with withdrawal of the whip & deselection, as well as being imposed with a snap election. Removal of job and income either way for lots of them. The usual gangsterism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 He's going to survive this; too many sycophantic arse-lickers have sold their souls. People like Dorries, Shapps, Raab & Truss know that they are unemployable unless it's to make Johnson look relatively better than he actually is. There should have been a couple of questions to the Brady bloke: when did the number of letters reach 54 and what is the current total?

Footballfirst Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I hope he wins it by a narrow margin. That result would suit the SNP, Labour in the north of England and the Liberals in the south of England and hasten the departure of the Tories at the next election.

Sooperstar Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 He'll win it. Probably not by much, but he'll disregard it, say he has heard the message loud and clear and now it is time to 'get on with the job and focus on solving the cost of living crisis'. Then they'll lose the 2 by elections and the pressure will be on again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all a bunch of over-entitled bollockses with their fingers nowhere near the pulse of the public they are supposed to represent but Mogg is on another level. Needs a massive kicking.

They’ll pick a stuffy, uncharismatic, relatively uncontroversial ‘safe pair of hands’ type leader to see them through to the next election. Though Labour lead the polls, they should be much further ahead than they are with the current continuing shitshow. Starmer has so far failed to inspire. Unfortunately (imho), a Tory party with such a leader, be that Hunt or AN Other, will probably squeak home, albeit with a much reduced majority.

Surely, it creates a buzz if it's 150. They only go for the vote of confidence if 15% of Tory MPs submit a letter to the chair of the "1922 Committee". There's 359 of the fokkers so 15% of that gives you your 54. When it was Teresa May, the threshold was (I think) 48 or 49. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
