It can't backfire, not really - the Tories wouldn't get a bigger majority, and at least a chunk of the Red Wall would probably revert back to Labour, now things have changed since 2019.
The Tories are no longer lead by a "likeable Buffon who'd be fun down the pub"; Labour are no longer lead by someone whose actions and statements were covered in a way to make his party unvoteable for; and Brexit is "done" - a GE around now would have a pretty different result!

There won't be one though.

Of course had The Cons been a good number of points ahead in polls then I could have seen Johnson even in the midst of all his scandalous behaviour calling one.

However Labour really has to put much more detail yet to their policies.
Not present just hopes.

This isn't the best idea.

However, it will show to the Country at large, just in fact where all the opposition parties are too.
Plus since the Cons have themselves stated no confidence in Johnson, and
while it will be easily defeated, to voters, it could demonstrate the problems with this current Conservative party.

Because in effect the Cons will also be voting to leave this now shamefully disgraced Johnson in place despite them pulling ALL support away from him.
Albeit left in place for a possible 2 to 3 months.

Really the 1922 committee should look for how to remove this creep from being Prime Minister NOW and having a more acceptable transitional administrator PM in place until the new leader is elected.

It will actually help expose further the internal despair in the Cons at present and their continued failure to remove this charletan and lawbreaker at a stroke.

Not really.
This PM is disgraced for deceit and lies.
No other PM has acted in power like this one has by abusing his trust even to lawbreaking.

It's not normal at all.

He should be gone NOW.
Every day he stays in any form of being Prime Minister just adds to the disgrace he's brought to the trusted elected office of being so.

I think you'll find it could be possible the 1922 committee could find the way to ensure this disgraced PM goes near immediately.

This is what Labour is really pushing for from the newly elected 1922 committee to be elected tomorrow.
I think you'll find they CAN find the way IF they really want to.

They can and do have the greatest influence.
There are Conservative MPs who will be demanding him gone sooner rather than later.

If the 1922 committee don't alter by not holding a members vote for the new leader.
They'll need to look at all and other possible option.

That's what Labour is hoping to pressure the committee to set out to do.

It's ludicrous he's left in place.

It's a powerful committee which acts on the will of the backbenchers.

It's even more ludicrous to have current, possibly even temporary Cabinet Ministers.
Now running to be leader and some setting out to tear up the policies of Johnson now.
It seems farcical and ridiculous.

This is NOT a normal dismissing of a leader.
It's that this leader Johnson has thrown out endless deceit and lies to parliament, his Ministers, his MPs and even worse to the whole of the UK.

He should have been gone over this weekend if the Cons hoped to get some decency and credibility back.

This is no way a normal end to a PM's premiership due to his absolutely disgraceful behaviour.

With full respect if you can't see that.
It's pointless me explaining it.
I'll try a bit though.

His Cabinet resigned because of him sending them out to the media after deceiving them.
He's broken his own laws he dictated to and inflicted on the whole Country.
Just 2 for starters.

His backbenchers were demanding a new vote of no confidence in him.
Which was clearly going to be a massive negative to him.

As I understand things , most of his detractors were remainers ... the rest presumably just followed to save face and save their own skins - not wanting to be seen to be loyal to Boris ...

Then when they were asked afterwards who they would like to be PM not a single one of them had the courage to put a name forward as they were all keeping their cards close to their chests ( self preservation) ..

So what specifically do you find so abhorrent about Boris .. that wouldn’t apply to just about every politician you care to name ....

I don't know of a single PM who.while in office has been found to have broken the law.
His own law too.

Johnson relaxed the covid rules in April/May 2021 in order to allow campaigning work in the Council, mayoral and Hartlepool by election/s too.
Johnson broke his laws in 2020 during the intense and rigid rules HE laid down for everyone in the Country.
He's a serial political deceiver, liar and a lawbreaker too.

If I was to list all the things I consider bad about Johnson.
I'd be making my.longest ever post on tibb.
So I'll pass on that.

I appreciate you like and support him.
I'll never understand why, just as it seems you don't understand those who don't like or don't support him.

I've NEVER liked him and wouldn't ever have trusted him with power.
My hand is up that I'm biased against him.

They interviewed a group of them the other night on Sky - they all looked well over 50 and were delighted that Boris delivered Brexit and feel that there voice / vote / opinion is being discounted

If the Lib Dems and ALL other so called opposition parties don't back this.
That will speak volumes about them.

Plus highlight the hypocrisy of the Cons to the voters too.
To leave this odious PM in place for another 2 months at least.


I assume the 13 LibDems
will back Starmer

I wouldn't be too sure of that arista

I'm still suspicious of some of the Lib Dems.
Their leader was a Minister in the coalition and he voted for humiliating policies against the sick and disabled.
Among many broken other promises as to his word too.

I am very interested to see just what the Lib Dems vote in any vote of confidence.

Even more interested to see exactly where the DUP put their votes too.

It may well be soundly defeated but quite a bit to learn about all the other Parties possibly from it for me.

Boris Johnson's government is refusing to allow time to debate a vote of no confidence in the prime minister, Labour says.

The party tabled the motion in Parliament earlier, with the aim of challenging Conservative MPs to oust the prime minister as they simultaneously hold a leadership contest.

Labour wanted to hold the vote tomorrow, but the party says the government won't allow it to go ahead.

Downing Street says confidence votes are conventionally held in governments and not individuals, such as prime ministers.

"This is totally unprecedented," a Labour spokesperson says. "Yet again the Tories are changing the rules to protect their own dodgy mates.

"All the Tory leadership candidates should denounce this flagrant abuse of power to protect a discredited prime minister.”

In a statement, a government spokesperson said: “We have given Labour the option to table a straightforward vote of no confidence in the government.

"They have chosen to play politics by tabling a vote of no confidence in the government and the prime minister."

Pretty sure Boris doesn’t have to dance to Starmer’s tune

It would have been intetesting, for me certainly anyhow.
To have seen what result a no vote of confidence in Johnson to lead the or A government, would have been.

I can't see the Cons objections to this since they do have deputy PM Raab fully able to do the caretaker role.

With this odious and his reputation in tatters PM put out to grass.
Right away.

Why on earth would the Tories agree to a general election when they can remain in power until next summer or is it 2024 ??

You do realise that extremism isn't the only other option? We're talking about trying to feed children in poverty through a CoL crisis. If you don't support that, then you need to have a think about whether you're the extremist.
