Really?

EU law revocation and reform bill Gets Brexit Done end of December next year.

Someone at the Evening Standard ads dept has a sense of humour.

Apparently, it will. The evidence against the Traitor in Chief is so damming that, if he wins, he’ll be forced out by Xmas.

Andrew Marr was claiming that some Tory MPs will either defect to the Lib Dems or call by-elections if Johnson gets in. There could be a vote of no confidence within weeks.

The Tory party need to put a sensible serious person in charge.

The Privileges committee would be a circus with the chief clown as PM. Harriett Harman is the chair, she would run rings around Johnson in a committee room hearing.

The only way to avoid it is to dissolve parliament and call an election. Which isn’t going to help either.

Mordaunt has a new campaign video. Only slightly less awful production than the last one, no fewer lies. The 'real her' that kept voting for welfare cuts, against NHS funding, supported measures that tanked the economy is presumably keeping quiet.

Patel has come out for de Pfeffel, just in case we needed more reasons to not want him back.

Whilst not named, Johnson of course is the prime suspect.
But mayne like he said, his ability to garner the suckers again is not impossible.

The NY stance on the UK is well known.

The guest essay writer Oborne's views would be treated with disdain if he was writing for the Mail, Spectator or Telegraph.

I think the same footage was shown on TV here. How anybody could want Boris back considering the reasons he had to go absolutely beggars belief. He may have got Brexit done, but loused up pretty much everything else.

Quite. Incredible.

And Frost thinks that the party should move on from de Pfeffel.

I'm reasonably confident that both Johnson and Sunak will get 100 nominations but surprised at how well Sunak appears to be doing so far.

 

[Beebo]

Reports from Westminster that Johnson has secured 100 nominations.
The Tory party never fail to disappoint me.

Claims that Boris has 100 nominations are “hogwash” according to BBC News App.

Time will tell.

I gather the BBC sent a push notification out saying Johnson had 100 nominations but that notification suddenly disappeared. The tweet below gives good advice.
