The MSM stuff is bizarre as well - again it’s just imported from the USA. What exactly is the media that they think tells ‘the truth’?
It’s not like The Times is a left wing paper either.
The same Times that backed Johnson to be prime minister, was it fake news then?The MSM stuff is bizarre as well - again it’s just imported from the USA. What exactly is the media that they think tells ‘the truth’?

The people who cheered were cheering the people who were booing.The Times with some top-notch trolling today
If you are an environmentally minded tory they are a good betInteresting for the Greens to gain 8 from the Tories
I think it’s probably not surprising Labour are likely to take Wakefield back. If the margin is correct that is surprising.

Deffo, if they lose that seat more letters will come in. But Wakefield may worry a few red wall toriesI think it’s probably not surprising Labour are likely to take Wakefield back. If the margin is correct that is surprising.
I think the real shockwave will be the Tories losing Tiverton which is looking like a possibility.
Assuming it's Tories switching of course, chance it could be Labour voters going Green offset by a mix of possibly Brexit and Tory going Labour.If you are an environmentally minded tory they are a good bet

The excellent Dan Hodges reporting the same. Although he’s also reporting that rebels will go on a vote strike if he wins a vote of no confidence then refuse’s to resign. The most surprising thing is that it’s got to this point as Dominic Raab was on the TV in the week saying it wouldn’t.
If I was them I’d want to wait until after the by elections. If the polling is correct and they lost Wakefield surely there’s no chance of him winning a confidence vote
He's going to win it though, isn't he. And he won't resign after that.Nice to wake up to a vote of no confidence.

Still, it's reassuring that the Conservative Party isn't totally gone in its morals I suppose. Let's hope enough vote against him to at least show the folly of him carrying on.
The 'tradition' is that you win, but lose enough support to be damaged enough you resign. I'm not convinced he has it in him to resign, however, even if a large number vote against him.Still think the vote against would’ve been more certain after by elections. I was reading something like 170 MPs have got some kind of ministerial post so would be surprised if he lost. It will come down to how close this gets though I guess
Politely disagree, NW. If they had morals, he would have been gone weeks ago. Look at how long it's taken to get here and all of the other ministers who've defended him.
For most MPs, this is about electoral calculus, not morals - that ship has sailed, I'm afraid.
Good letter this. Doesn't just attack Partygate, but actually points out the government has nothing beyond the culture war.
80 seat majority and they're reduced to this, utter embarrassment of a government - zero ideas, zero policies, zero talent, zero leadership.
It's not unreasonable to wait until the jubilee is over, tbh.Yeah agree
"Now is not the time for a change of leadership, don't you know there's a war on!?"
....
"What's that, he got booed? I might lose my job at the next election? Where's my headed letter paper!"

Sajid Javid seems capable if idologically appalling from my POV.I park a lot of the noise and just look at whether this cabinet has got the ideas and capability to deliver policy to get us through what will undoubtedly be a tricky time. I think we all know that answer at the moment
One of biggest mistakes Johnson has made is surrounding himself by second rate supporters in cabinet. No challenge and little intellect (other than Sunak and Gove). He’s had the chances to change it and change his ways but chosen not to
Nice to wake up to a vote of no confidence.
