    If the Tories do defect he probably can't be appointed PM without a confidence vote.

    Some Labour dimwits might support him.

    It might leave the government with a majority of 1.

    I think we can see where this is all heading.
    Interestingly, he was dropped from the party in 2017 because of his activities, then he got reinstated so that he could vote for TM the PM in a confidence motion in 2018.

    Good to see the ethics of political life are alive and well.

    If Johnson has any sense, he will gamble on a GE. He's ****ed without one, and if he gets in early enough that his incompetence doesn't have time to shine through, the British electorate could easily be cretinous enough to return a working Tory majority.

    They will want to get re-elected. Which will mean they will stay Tory.

    Not one of them has any notion of principal or public service.
