    Problem is he doesn’t care if it’s one vote or one hundred, he won that’s all he cares about. He was never a populist prime minster. He never cared about those that don’t like him, he’s going to pander to the people who either still support him, or dislike the alternative to him. Which unfortunately is still a hell of a lot of people.

      Yes, I think I said that.

      But the Cabinet and/or Chief Whip will have to give him the bad news, eventually. Still, the rebels obviously did shoot their load too soon - completely disorganised because it isn't coming from one wing of the party, it's all over and they have completely different ideas about what comes next (small state, supply side reform, low tax vs. large state, high tax, pseudo-socialism).

        I guess he can now forget about all those promises he made today, like those about "cutting taxes"

          I wonder if they'll throw a leaving party for Boris?

            Had it been coordinated, they may have waited until after the forthcoming by-elections.

            Bojo will have to pull off another first (as well as being 1st PM to break the law) because no previous Tory leader has gone on to win a GE after winning a confidence/leadership challenge.

            That's assuming he makes it to the GE which is still far from certain.
            Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

              FTFY.

              It reminds me of a short story where the protagonist goes to visit the president - in prison. "Your president is in prison?" "Oh yes, we imprison all politicians upon election - it saves so much time and money".

              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Michael Mansfield QC said the offence of waging an aggressive war had effectively been assimilated into English law.

                The Chilcot inquiry’s conclusion that the invasion of Iraq was unnecessary and undermined the United Nations required the prosecution of Tony Blair, Mansfield told the high court.


                The aim of the case was to force Blair – as well as the former foreign secretary Jack Straw and the former attorney general Lord Goldsmith – to answer for their actions in court.

                Mansfield argued that the international crime of a war of aggression had been accepted by then UK attorney general Sir Hartley Shawcross QC in the 1940s, at the time of the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war crimes.

                    It sounded like they were having a party last night outside No10. During the news there were a few Abba tracks (including Money, money, money) along with others, although the Tory run impartial broadcaster tried to muffle the tunes.

                      I had assumed all the noise was protestors. Quite a few in the background of every OB I saw.
