Perhaps that could be the nuclear deterrant. A big laser cannon aimed at moscow, connected directly to the national grid.

ThomasPaine posted:lol at all the centrists on twitter insisting that this time Bojo is done for, as if he isn't going to survive the confidence vote easily and the whole thing isn't going to be forgotten by tomorrow morning The problem for centrists is they are so invested in both sides that they think there's no way their MPs could be so undecorous. It's good poo poo

Rustybear posted:there isn't time to run a leadership election with the clock running on a six week short campaign so they'd have to fight with him as leader and pick up the pieces later; Why would they? Why not the deputy, or the party chair, or the 1982 committee chair, or whoever their rulebook states picks up the slack? Him being removed would, by definition, mean that a majority of the MPs do not think a GE campaign with him in charge is a good career choice. It's not any different to any other interim leader situation and there's no such thing as a prospective parliamentary prime minister, you are completely free to not say who your pm would be until you actually need one.

Miftan posted:Burnham winning a parliament seat in that time and then the Labour leadership seems unlikely tbh Labour would change the rules, insert Burnham into Islington North (if it still exists at the time of the next GE - not sure what the boundary changes are or when they'll kick in). I don't know whether Corbyn would stand as an independent or not.

Remember that the BBC reports on politics by just retweeting or doing a copy/paste on a message they've been sent by Boris' chief of staff. kingturnip fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Jun 6, 2022 |

I mean the funniest and most likely option is he wins by exactly enough that another challenge won't be possible, but by a small enough margin that he can't actually do anything for the next 2 years. And then tomorrow Durham police announce they are fining kieth

This isn't possible. As already pointed out, the Tory "rebels" will be acting fully in support of Johnson tomorrow morning if he survives tonight. It's the kind of servility you should expect from a whipped dog.
