....right oh!

[ToraToraTora]

Fatticus: "If it’s so trivial, why didn’t he call a snap election to prove ‘he has the backing of the British people who want us to get on and do the job’? " - so now you want a GE every time there's a ripple? Right oh!

[FatticusInch]

Lol, a ripple?
It’s a tsunami!
The turmoil in the Tory party is seismic.
Wake up and smell what you’re shovelling.

Well, in fairness, Fatticusinch did want a Vote of Confidence - or more preferably No Confidence ... but now that hasn't worked he's moved on to bigger ideas. Crikey! When he gets the bit between his teeth there's no holding him! :o)

[Ken4155]

You are correct, TCL; the list is not complete as there are only just over 40 names on there. We'll probably find out who the others are in the days to come.

[THECORBYLOON]

NAOMI, have you counted the number of MPs confirmed to have submitted no-confidence letters in the earlier link?

[THECORBYLOON]

Thanks KEN, as suspected, it's pure speculation.

[Gromit]

They are doing to Boris, exactly what Boris did to May.

Theresa May won her VONC in December 2018.
In April 2019 there were moves to have another one.

// Theresa May faces another vote of no confidence from within the Conservative party in an attempt to oust her over her handling of Brexit. //

She resigned shortly after.

Crocodile tears crying about having a second VONC when you used the same tactic to depose May.

[ToraToraTora]

Fatti: "Lol, a ripple?
It’s a tsunami! " - you were talking about partygate, and you want a GE after that?" - right oh!

Lol, but it HAS worked. His party are telling him as much and the 1922 Committee are changing their own rules in panic, they’ve seen the damage and split Johnson has caused and they are moving their own goalposts to rid themselves of him.
Do you actually take any notice of current events and their relevance?
Or is your devotion to King Canute of the Conservatives so skewed that you refuse to believe actual events?

[naomi24]

Haha! If it's worked, fatticusinch, you don't sound too happy about it.

[ToraToraTora]

Naomi, Fatticus claims to be a Tory back bencher himself!

[Gromit]

You were all in favour of these Poltroons after May won her VONC.

// The BBC reported that more than 70 bosses of local Conservative associations have signed a petition calling for an extraordinary general meeting, with Mrs May’s position at the top of the agenda.

More than 800 of the party’s most senior members, including the heads of the local associations, will take part in the vote.

If more than 65 local Conservative associations demand one via a petition, then an extraordinary general meeting has to be called.

The Sunday Times reported that Mrs May will be told within days that she must step down by the end of June or face a fresh effort by MPs to oust her. //

[ToraToraTora]

what are you talking about gromit?

Lol, I’m gleeful. It’s the end of Johnson, everyone bar you and ToraToraTora knows it. I’m just pointing out the inevitable to you, you can’t accept it because of your blind devotion to Johnson.
It’s now a matter of weeks not months.

[Old_Geezer]

Just because a subject is trivial doesn't mean that sufficient mud slinging can't rile up a majority of the population to vote with emotion then afterwards regret with intellect when too late.

[Gromit]

// what are you talking about gromit? //

I am accusing you of double standards.
You were gleeful when May was ousted despite her winning a VONC. Now that others are attempting to do the sam to Johnson, you are outraged.

[ToraToraTora]

Gromit: "You were gleeful when May was ousted despite her winning a VONC. Now that others are attempting to do the sam to Johnson, you are outraged. " - Yes, May, I considered a good Conservative mostly but she was a 5Cer and to me Sovereignty is the no 1 issue, she was about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, so she became the enemy so yes I was delighted when she was replaced. That's not double standards I was supporting my country and my party against the treacherous. I am doing that now. We are all partisan are we not? I know you are. I don't want another 5th Columnist in no 10 to undo all the good work that the current government has done.

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah but May was mucking up by capitulating to the EU, she had to go. Boris merely was present at something which certain folk considered allowed under the law and others didn't. Hardly a reason to get him out.

[ToraToraTora]

indeed OG, BA.

[Gromit]

// undo all the good work that the current government has done //

Thanks for giving me a big laugh before I go off to work.
