211 for
148 against.

That is spectacularly bad.

Toast when the Privileges Committee report comes our.

[THECORBYLOON]

Claims the man who's been skulking in the shadows for most of to-day.

[douglas9401]

It does appear that two thirds of the blues want him gone.
Does he have the brass neck to tough it out?

[wolf63]

I don't think that they have a pool of likely replacements for him anyway. He survives for now but who knows what will happen in the future.

[THECORBYLOON]

Perhaps he should call a General Election to prove the Nation wants him as their PM still?

//Perhaps he should call a General Election to prove the Nation wants him as their PM still?//

I concur.

[Ellipsis]

A lesser "victory" than Theresa May managed in her confidence vote ...

[gness]

I'd really wish for better for you than having this lame duck as Prime Minister. :-(

[wolf63]

when he does get ousted he can start up a business as a Party Planner.

doug: "t does appear that two thirds of the blues want him gone.
Does he have the brass neck to tough it out?" - well I know you lot up there have some strange arithmetic but how is 41% "two thirds" ?

[THECORBYLOON]

Boris has just said,
"Don't forget when I first stood to be leader of the Tory party I didn't get anything like that much support from my colleagues in parliament, we're building on that," 

He appears to have forgotten there were more than two options for MPs to vote for in the 2019 leadership ballot.

[FatticusInch]

A worse result than May and even Thatcher.
Hope he remembers to change his underwear before he goes in front of the standards and privileges committee which looms heavy on his horizon.

[douglas9401]

Beg pardon, two fifths.

Enjoy your night. X

[Gromit]

Johnson described his win as ‘convincing’.

Anything but.

[tomus42]

Oh, it's convincing alright. Just not in the way Boris means.

[naomi24]

"Don't forget when I first stood to be leader of the Tory party I didn't get anything like that much support from my colleagues in parliament, we're building on that,"

Haha! Great response. Will the sour Remainers ('cos that's what this is really all about) now stop kicking and screaming and leave him alone to get on with the job? Course they won’t. :o)

[FatticusInch]

Lol, building a pillar of sand? House of cards?
Any support he had is waning in front of his very eyes. Imagine the humiliation of getting an even lower percentage than Theresa May in a confidence vote?
You’re wasted on here Naomi, Number 10 needs your particular kind of spin right now, such a shame it’s about as much use as *** on a snake!

[FatticusInch]

The missing word that is asterisked out is a small garden bird.

[naomi24]

You're having another 'whoosh' moment, FatticusInch, old bean. :o)
