Tories are saying "he's on a final warning"


But in reality... there can't be long if they want to win next election.


If election is in 2024 there are 2 more years of Johnson with all that that entails - they surely don't want that


But if they do want someone else leading them by next election they have to make the change soon and embed WhoEver in good time


But even in doing that, that's the 4th leader of the ELECTED party we will have had in nearly as many years - can they honestly claim to rule the country until 2024?


(and that's before you get into the further realities of Brexit hitting, Scottish indie calls yada yada)


Whole thing looks shaky as to me

Indeed, but it might even be too late for that, as a rather big, dark slow-moving Covid/Brexit cloud has appeared called rising living costs.


I think electorally they might already be screwed...

?Get your act together or it?s over, MPs warn Boris Johnson?


-Surely they realise that this is Johnson with his ?act together?


-And then you?ve got enabler?s like IDS projecting the blame on anyone other than the man of chaos himself. Hardly surprising it?s a sh*t show around number 10.


Sir Iain Duncan-Smith, the former party leader, said Johnson was having to defend other people?s mistakes. ?No prime minister or president can govern if they spend their whole time having to defend what others have got wrong and failed on,? he told the BBC. ?It is a mistake to have him bogged down in having to justify and defend things that are often unjustifiable.?

Dan Hodges is weirdly obsessed with how badly Labour are doing. Presumably it?s down to him being the kid of a Labour MP, but even so he really needs to let it go.

By happy coincidence, it's the place where in 1987 dear leader married his first wife, Allegra Mostyn-Owen. Her family seat was at West Belton and they married in the local church.

A couple of points picked up in the by-election aftermath...


Postal votes which were cast before the Partygate revelations broke, were heavily in Lib Dems favour, suggesting they didn't play a significant role in people's thinking/voting.


Rather, NS is a strong rural/farming area, lots of unhappiness about Brexit being bad for UK farmers as witnessed in the detail of the recent Australia/NZ trade deals.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
