Sounds as if Johnson's gambit was to say there is a big speech coming on the economy. It’s always jam tomorrow then he serves up more gruel 🙄

141 publicly said they'll back him. Only 39 to stay, probably enough to do it He will win, dont think it os ever a doubt he would lose, but its the size of the victory that is important and how wounded he is, especially with a couple of by-elections coming up

Could be close, anything over 100 votes against and he's in trouble, north of 120 and he'll be gone, just a matter of when. He could still be here for a while, though.

Gotta laugh at that.

I think we all knew Boris was going to win that but the amount of rebels is very surprising. Over 40%.
If he can’t rally Tory mp’s to his side then what chance does he have getting floating voters on his side at the next election?

Apparently it's a higher percentage than when he was in the leadership contest, so according to one minister on TV it's an improvement. 🤪 I'm waiting for the first Cabinet resignation. Possibly after the by elections. 🤨

I'm very surprised at the number voting against. Theresa May announced she would step down when 117 voted against her. That must send a message to Boris, which he will probably ignore.

Until he gets through the big black door, and it's going to be a lucky night for Carrie <<shudder>>.
