Tories pretending they can't get rid of him as PM because of the war in Ukraine

Chamberlain was dumped as PM during WWII.. A war the UK was actually fighting in

They're full of shyt.

Liz Truss may end up being the PM if Boris is kicked out and I can see her being even worse than him as Prime Miniser

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

Is there no way an election can be called early?

Surely this government have shown they shouldn't be running the country

Of course. Its a parliamentary government system elections can always be called early. Thats how Canada ended up having a federal election last year when it wasn't due for one until 2023. This is how Britain had David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson all as PM in less than 5 years.

I mean I think Boris should go but these parliament governments get really annoying with the lack of consistency and having too many elections all the time

William Wragg, the Conservative chair of the public administration and constitutional affairs committee, told MPs in his speech in the debate that Tories were being asked to “defend the indefensible”. He said”

I care deeply about my colleagues. I know that a number are struggling at the moment. We have been working in a toxic atmosphere. The parliamentary party bears the scars of misjudgments of leadership.

There can be few colleagues on this side of the House I would contend who are truly enjoying being members of parliament at the moment. It is utterly depressing to be asked to defend the indefensible. Each time part of us withers.

Wragg said he had questioned his place in the Conservative party “in recent months”, but said he was “not going anywhere” and urged voters to stick with the Tories in the local elections.

Wragg also said Tory MPs had a duty to do the right thing.

For us to maintain their trust and confidence we must be seen to do the right thing. It is our responsibility. It is the Conservative parliamentary party’s responsibility. We must stop delegating and delaying our political judgement.

We each only have our own limited and imperfect integrity. We can’t keep spending it on others who we cannot be sure will not let us down.

Wragg was one of the first Tory MPs to call for Boris Johnson’s resignation when the Partygate scandal erupted.

Steve Baker just flipped on him halfway through his speech - is he finally losing the support of the ERG?

If so, it's GOT to be curtains.

 

[Carl Tethers]

Steve Baker pulling the rug again. He's a little shyt but he's got me if he gets rid of another Tory PM
