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.

Even if he wins the no confidence vote it doesn't mean he will be Tory leader come the next general election.

If he wins does anyone know for how long he’s safe from another challenge? I can’t remember if it was 12 or 24 months

Currently, 12 months. Of course, that can change, as the rules are entirely within the purview of the '22 at all times. Still, not a very coordinated effort from the rebels. Were they coordinated, they would've waited until after the two by-elections.

Maybe they want to increase the chances of the party winning the by-elections.

Right, because Johnson winning in an unconvincing way that drags this out forever is bound to help

But Johnson losing might help.

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

BoJo to face confidence vote….
