Vote of Confidence being announced today.

The Telegraph has just reported that John Lamont has quit as Liz Truss's parliamentary private secretary (PPS).

He is a Scottish Tory MP who has followed Douglas Ross - the Scottish Conservatives leader, who said he voted no confidence earlier today.

Love that Theresa May turned up to vote in a ball gown. ?

No doubt she has a later engagement but I am sure she saw the humour in it.

David Davis, Steve Baker and William Wragg are hardly "arch remainers"!

Ah Mr.Stevens of The Daily Mail WWM2 ?????

There is in all probability a group of anti-Brexit MPs who would like to see the back of Mr.Johnson.

If there isn’t it doesn’t say a lot for their beliefs /politics?

I’m sure there is, but look at those that have declared so far, it is across all the factions, which in a way makes it more difficult for the Johnson camp after he wins the vote tonight as his position is very much weakened because from now on he can never be sure of support in policy vote. There only needs 40 backbenchers to vote against and if the numbers are at or above 100 then he is in trouble.

Apparently May turn up in full evening dress. Dressed to kill????

What's with this silly Dorries and Smog crap you should like some school girl (perhaps you are)

That however is who put that story out in the media.

According to Dorries we are also at war with Ukraine. ?

She may be saying that now, but it has been on Twitter and other sources since before Christmas.

Yes but it isn’t true is it?

I note that Smogg considered the total against May at 117 was a very bad result.

I wait with baited breath.

Our MP said that he would make his position clear after listening to what Mr Johnson was saying to the assembled Tory MPs. I don't know why he couldn't have decided before that, but I don't think he's very bright.

Oh, he's decided to vote against Mr J. Good for him, at last!

My MP has just tweeted, "I’m supporting the Prime Minister today. My constituents this weekend asked for stability and a focus on issues like the cost of living, not a change of PM. He has rightly apologised for mistakes made. But, from the vaccine rollout to Ukraine, he got the big calls right."

I wonder which page of the handbook that was from.

Mine is saying the same, that’s my vote lost!

There are rumours that so called arch remainers have been working behind the scenes, but Mr.Johnson has played into their hands by providing so much ammunition.

Blimey quoting Dorries is scrapping the barrel a bit!

Just look at those voting against Johnson, there are quite a few arch brexiters who have declared.

It actually goes right across all the party factions.

I am not quoting Nadine Dorries.

I have no barrel to scrape Whitewavemark2 I want to see Mr.Johnson ousted ASAP

I hope he gets rounded on by a business of ferrets

They are all saying exactly the same thing.

Does anyone else think this vote is all about Brexit?

Just seen on Twitter that it’s estimated that the no confidence votes are over 150

I do not think that he will lose the vote this evening, mainly because there is no obvious successor and there will be a scramble from lots of people to win a leadership election - the Tories do not want that and this is likely to sway their votes, even if they do not like BJ.

Let us hope that he gets sufficient of a bloody nose to curb his illegalities and lack of respect for the rule of law - I will not hold my breath. I think he is just rotten to the core.

But a citizen plonker in a so far free country Maudi.

Indeed. I watched the TV news this afternoon, and thought it was cheering that he was there, along with someone with a banner saying something about Tory lies and another waving one saying 'Jesus Saves Us From Sin- Repent'.

Whatever you think about any of their causes, the fact that they can still campaign for them seemed reassuringly British at a time when our democracy is under threat.
