Why 54? What does this trigger, a vote in parliament? 54 is 15% of the Conservative MPs, it's the trigger point that will cause a secret ballot of no confidence in the leader of the party.

No chance of general election. 2/3rds of MPs have to vote no confidence is the ruling party. ( I think 🤔)

Thank you.. and then if he loses the ballot the Tories have 14 days to appoint a leader otherwise we go to GE? The next GE is scheduled for 2 May 2024, it can come earlier if either "a motion of no confidence is passed in Her Majesty's Government by a simple majority and 14 days elapses without the House passing a confidence motion in any new Government formed or a motion for a general election is agreed by two thirds of the total number of seats in the Commons including vacant seats". In terms of replacing him, Theresa May announced she was standing down at the end of May (ironically) and BJ was appointed at the end of July. He'll still be PM - even in name only - for a while. But we are getting ahead of ourselves a bit, firstly there has to be a challenge and then he has to lose. Even if there is a vote of no confidence he could still win, although a pyrrhic victory may see him resign anyway.

Even if there is a vote of no confidence he could still win, although a pyrrhic victory may see him resign anyway. If he won a challenge, he couldn't be challenged for a year, but he could be a dead man walking depending on the size of any result Talk that, it's better to wait for the inquiry to conclude before any challenge to ensure The Tories get rid of him so no fence sitters back him before it's done

Sunak, the millionaire/billionaire knows how everyone feels that cost of living is rocketing. Ha.
Sunak directly influenced the 2008 global crash and made his money from it by the way.

Not doubting that, but isn't his Wifes family that have the money? Either way, billionaires with the good of the people at heart?

Listening to Boris trying to rewrite history and claiming his Covid dealings were fantastic. It’s beyond delusional. Over 150k dead.

Does defecting from one party to another mid term not trigger a by-election?
I know officially you’re voting for the person principally rather than the party they represent but it’s still odd.

No, personally I think it should or MPs just become independent rather than taking the Whip of another party.
