BoJo to face confidence vote….

When I checked the bookies they had him a clear favourite to survive FWIW

It's the economy stupid!

Equally likely him winning might help. The real man int the street has far bigger things to concern himself with than the outfall of the Partygate nonsense and the machinations of a rag tag bundle of newbies, malcontents and has-beens.

My bet is on a Johnson win by 20-30 votes

I think he will too, it's noticeable that there has been zero support (other than ministers) from other MP's that to me shows that there are a lot of people who will look to make a deal for his support.

Yeah, the Tory polling in the upcoming Wakefield by-election is appalling and mainly because of lies and party gate, he is toast imho, Unless somehow gets a thumping majority.

Wakefield wouldn't be a shock, it would appear they're already resigned to losing. The other one (the Devon tractor-porn by-election) would be a massive shock, they have a 24k+ majority and the LibDems are all over it, and some Labour figures have been telling their supporters to vote LibDem. I've got family down that way, and they all think the Tories are going to get a kicking.
If the Tory back-benchers were serious about getting rid of Bozzer, they ought to have waited until those by-election results were in, because he would be finished. By holding the confidence vote today, they've given him every chance of hanging on.

He should do, but people are motivated by bitterness and resentment much more than logic.

The anti-corruption Czar has just resigned.

The anti-corruption Czar has just resigned.

Turns out he couldn't be bought.

I never understood why we have Tsars for everything anyway.

That isn't what was reported in The Sunday Times yesterday where the majority of those those reported as defecting from Con to Lab in the Wakefield by-election cited the parties and lies as the primary reason.

20-30 votes is not enough to maintain authority, ask Teresa.
