Question is does Rishi quit meaning Boris has to resign, a vote of no confidence is called or nothing happens? Sunak won’t be sacked as Johnson would have to do that, thus admitting he has to be sacked. Sunak might quit because, as someone on Twitter said, he’s played politics for the first time not on east setting and doesn’t like it. I can see Sunak scuttling off to the US but Johnson won’t resign. It’s up to Tory MPs to remove him but they’re already saying how they are waiting for the Sue Gray report. Our best bet is him being removed by a technicality. If he’s broken some Erskine May rule and Hoyle finally develops some duty, he can be shown the door. I know I’m cynical, worn out, and tired of all the examples of rules not applying, but I honestly don’t think anything will happen. Quote
Vamp Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 Nothing happens. Nothing ever happens. They'll probably use public money to pay the fines. Quote
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted April 12, 2022 Paid Members Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) My gammon wanker manager just said, without a shred of irony, 'Boris is a lying conniving scheaming cunt but we need someone like that running the country so that's why I voted for him'. The Tories will never be voted out because we live in a country now where people would rather stand by their vote like it's a football team and back it to the very end instead of admitting that maybe they just got it wrong.

Wideload90 Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 They're just a stinking pile of cunts. If Labour don't make gains after the latest controversy, they're also cunts. Quote

While I've never fully quite got with the idea of strong swing voters, certainly in a post Brexit referendum world people now seem to be far more football style "I have to stand by my decision and must continue to justify it by backing everything said or done since regardless.

Paid Members chokeout Posted April 12, 2022 Paid Members Posted April 12, 2022 A more cynical person would question why the fines were announced during Easter recess and not at the same time as others, when he doesnt have to face MP questions. In the same week Sunak has been chucked under the bus, supposedly by his own party. Slimy cunts. Sunak will step down and end up working for US politics. He'll 100% take the hit for this. Quote

If you look at the handle of any of them. The first one was a Spurs fan (of course). Basicly manual spambots made from WhatsApp/Football forums for interaction of their sad lives. That said, looking at the replies from actually Tory MP's they clearly based their's on a Copypasta but did change around some of the words Edited April 13, 2022 by Hannibal Scorch Quote

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted April 13, 2022 Paid Members Posted April 13, 2022 So, reports of another 5 offences for Alexander Johnson and some more for Sunak. If he recieves anymore, will Rishi fold? At some point the tide must turn. Quote

If he’s broken some Erskine May rule and Hoyle finally develops some duty, he can be shown the door. There is no technicality as being PM/running the government isn't officially anything to do with Parliament. The only ways a PM stops being PM are: 1) They die. 2) They resign for personal reasons (eg scandal, ill health, retirement.) 3) They are forced to resign because somebody else is best placed to "command the confidence of the Commons." (*) In practice, that means somebody else can prove they have the support of more MPs than anyone else. (Doesn't have to be a majority, just the most.) This could be because there's a new party leader, there's been a change of MPs in an election, or because there's a new cross-party alliance. Other than that, there's no way to make them leave. Technically they don't even have to be an MP or in the Lords anymore. * (They can't literally be made to resign in this situation, but if they don't, the Queen would be forced to sack them. Even for Boris Johnson, putting the Queen in that position would be considered bad form.) Quote
