It may go through on the nod so no-one has to vote.

If he is then humanity is doomed!!

Ww2 that’s rubbing salt into the wound. But how do you know Johnson isn’t A1hmm?

maybe DS was saying yesterday, that an analysis of the DM article appears to show that it was produced by AI. So Johnson isn’t even putting in any effort for his million!

There’s a one line whip so attendance and voting are not compulsory and there’s no pairing between mps. It’s rubber stamping and moving on time.

If they don’t vote won’t the opposition have to do a reciprocal no vote also? Or is that only if there’s a valid reason for not being there? A Johnson supporter on QT pointed out that Johnson has lost his livelihood because of this. Can someone remind me how much he’s now being paid by the Mail to write one article a week plus all of his paid speeches worldwide?

I’ve no idea what’s going to happen, but I’m assuming that characters like Rees Mogg will attempt to present themselves as Johnson loyalists - to please any remaining supporters he has in the electorate. I hope Penny Mordaunt gets her sword out!

My MP was one of the ones standing outside No 10 in tears when he left so I very much doubt that she’d vote against him.

Johnson slagged of the whole process and the committee in his usual bullish manner. Then low and behold he recommends that his party should vote FOR the committee's findings. Why? Because he didn’t want to cause a split or something within the Party. Really, are we expected to swallow that ? Also, that he has become some kind of martyr. Or could it be that he knows it will get voted for anyway and it was the best way to save the humiliation that will be heaped upon him. He also needs to be admired and liked so here comes Mr hard done by but really Mr Nice Guy.

Probably not. The Tory MPs are worried about upsetting the public who are unbelieavably committed BJ supporters (cant believe in folk who support liars).

My so-called MP will not turn up. He's just resigned, 14 months after being banned from the HOC in disgrace.

Or are we already without a government.
