If Boris finally has nowhere to wriggle Starmer will be politely asked to gently caress off in favour of young Wesley. Turning a big dial that says sensible centrism and just turning the dial even further regardless of the audience's reaction

surely the centrism dial does not rotate left or right and just sort of intersects backwards into the thing it's attached to.

Curious to hear some opinions - who would be the most untouchable replacement? I mean, bellend johnson's tenure has largely been him getting away with everything despite multiple scandals that would bring down any past government. Does anyone else have that power of shitbaggery?

He knowingly promoted a serial arse pincher.

I know you don't mean it that way, but its important to keep in mind that this incident isn't really the reason, just the spark that lit up an already petrol soaked room.

No Tory MP gives the slightest poo poo about the actual incident, or that a victim was sexually assaulted (except for those that are mad it was a gay person doing the pinching). Personal morals are irrelevant to them versus the allure of getting into and staying in power.

What matters is that there have been so many of these kinds of scandals, that they have finally gained traction with the public, breaking through his formerly impenetrable barrier of favourable newspaper coverage, his image as a 'funny and charming character', and his Brexit credentials. The sheer volume of incidents has been impossible to spin away, and the public is increasingly seeing him as the lying, deceitful, untrustworthy piece of poo poo we have always known he was.

This is the reason they are abandoning him - because all that matters to the Tories is power, and his reputation is now trashed so much it is hurting their own career and reelection prospects - stabbing him in the back might save them/boost their own leadership chances.

TL/DR: Tories are inhuman selfish monsters and at no point should ever be given any credit or benefit of the doubt.

If they don't change the rules to get rid of him, them he's going to drag up even less talented yes men from the 2019 cohort.

A snap yougov poll I just had was 85% he should go, about the same that he won't resign.

They will just change the rules. Aside from thievery and cruelty, regicide is the only thing that Tories are actually competent at.

Truss is largely advised by the same folks who advise Bozza and she'd likely take the same tack

This is nonsense, they can change the leadership contest rules with a simple majority - which is conveniently the same number of MPs they need to trigger a leadership contest.

May resigned because it was clear there was a majority against her, so rather than fight the rule change and ensuing contest, she got her chance to make her big resignation speech on her terms.

Boris probably won't do the same because I think he legitimately thinks he's untouchable, but he'll find out soon enough that he's not.

Boris learnt the art of just saying "no, lmao".

If starmers labour wasn't such a dumpster fire of losers they would be battering down the tories' door by now. The "convention" is it's labours turn on the money printer now but they're so loving incompetent that the press can't even hand them the reigns of power.

I saw a bunch of people on twitter apparently convinced that starmer got an injunction to keep his fine quiet. no idea if that is even possible but wouldn't surprise me.
