Pretty sure it will. He's a nobody, and will get all the appropriate attention. This is simply a move to keep his seat come the next election since he clearly believes Labour will win back the seat (which is a fair expectation). Nobody in one party will take any notice of a member who defects to another one: nor are they much trusted in their new one, come to that.

We will wait to see if his constituency party boot him out, meaning a likely new bi-election. And if they do, will he stand as a labour candidate...

There is a bit of a story behind his seat and the person to blame is one J Corbyn.

And they say being a Tory MP is all wine and cheese parties... this is the office of the chap who defected:



What a dump. I wonder how long before it's defaced amusingly?

One gone.

Does this mean his vote of no confidence will not count?

Hiding in a fridge doesn't count!

Does going into self-isolation when you don't need to count?

[WTFH]

Boris' critics can point to not one, but several periods when he seemed to be missing for a significant time

The fact that Kate Burley apologised and was off air for 6 months for a single incident is irrelevant in the BoJo fan club

Ahh Keir Starmer copied BoJo.

On 23rd December 2020 BoJo was drinking beer with staff at Downing Street when London was in tier 4.

He doesn't care.
He will still have plenty of supporters both in government, in the media and UK voters.
There will be spin and deflection "Who cares that he had multiple parties and only says sorry with caveats, the person asking the question broke covid rules too!" (The fact that Kate Burley apologised and was off air for 6 months for a single incident is irrelevant in the BoJo fan club)

What other news is being buried today the government is trying to hide?

Police and Crime bill?

Fact that if you fraudulently claimed a bounce back loan you won't be made to pay it back?

[WTFH]

Doesn't he realise how desperately pathetic and discreditable that sounds, as he was the one supposedly overseeing and approving the rules at the time?

New excuse: Nobody told him. ..

See my earlier post today. If I had to choose between Bojo and DC for veracity, I'd take Bojo every time. Which is quite worrying...

Lock both of them up.
BoJo has been sacked from previous jobs for lying.

[malvolio]

This is surely make or break? He's categorically nailed his colours to a statement rather than deflected or half answered.

Now we just wait to see if DC has a nice cache of emails to share on it?

I'd be surprised if there was much Whiskey at COP26, but I suspect there may have been some whisky.

The Americans might have brought some, for a nice tasting evening event party.
