Stench of annoying sockie in the air too.

Don't give up the day job.

No wonder this forum is on life support.

I think so, but equally I chose to never underestimate any politicians ability to **** things up.

I guess that will be final insult if they fold now, stupid idiots should have kept Boris and avoid tax increases - other than nuking non-dom statuses

Another Tory MP resigned. Sniff of general election in the air.

They will be out for 10-15 years, minimum

More than likely, I'm sure there are many who rather get out now and let Labour take some of the flack for the current mess and have a better shot in 2028ish.

Tories will be wiped out, electorally

Just a thought but he could re-stand in his current seat which is my old stamping ground. He has a huge reputation as a constituency MP there. It would be an interesting litmus test...

The other thing is he has killed off Harperson's kangaroo court.

Polling on Uxbridge seems split. Ashcroft has Boris winning by 17 points, others show Labour with 12 point lead. Considering he won with 15 points in 2019 I'm sceptical he would improve considering all other polls show tories being on fire.

What about the whole investigation into party gate, chequers gate, and however many gates they were during covid lockdowns? Is he now off the hook?

This is specifically about lying to the House, rather than the actual parties. Maybe there are other incidents where he lied (probably is) but I think in reality they have shot their shot and I can see public opinion turning heavily into 'I don't care, focus on cost of living' if they tried again. Afterall to joe public all politicians lie all the time, yet if they dare lie to each other there is hell to pay.

Not going to happen and his reputation isn't that good.


Ahh the blnkered.

Boris Johnson could have stayed and fought to be re-elected after suspension.

Hes a Trump lite, just see his quitting statement. Fake news, witch hunt, labour conspiracy.

Like Trump he has a die hard core of voters. I highly doubt he doesn't make a run for leadership. Heaven forbid if Trump gets elected.

Boris quits with immediate effect to avoid Parliament sanctioning him.

One problem - Boris Johnson has to get Nadine Dorries local conservative party to put him down as a candidate.

He actually makes more money giving speeches than in politics.
