Isn't he technically immune from a vote of no confidence since they just had an election a little while ago? Lol if he just decides to squat 10 Downing even if the rest of his government bails.

Technically yes but the BBC just addressed this:


https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-politics-62048657 posted:

Change the rules: There has been speculation the rules could be changed, so that Conservative MPs can hold another vote in Johnson's leadership sooner.

When asked about it, Sir Graham Brady MP, the chairman the 1922 Committee, said "technically, it's possible".

Cabinet pressure: Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid believe their resignations are necessary to force Johnson to resign.

Parliamentary motion of no confidence: A ballot where all MPs - not just Conservatives - get to vote has been proposed by Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey.

But the government would need to agree to make time in Parliament to hold such a vote and it would need to be brought by Labour.

Boris Johnson refusing to quit
We're hearing that the PM is holding firm and refusing to quit despite calls from several key cabinet colleagues for him to go.

He is insisting that he wants to continue to focus on the "hugely important issues facing the country".

A record 14 ministers resign in one day

Our political research unit says a record 14 ministers have resigned in a single day today, more than have ever quit in a single day before.

The previous record was 11 ministers in 1932.

So did something specific trigger the wave of resignations, or did one minister call time and then the rest suddenly found their spines? The no-confidence vote was a month ago.

As a colonial I am aware that BoJo is taking a lot of heat for his "work-related" covid cocktail parties but it's not like people are just now, today, realizing that he's a shitbag, I assume.

he hired a dude knowing said dude had a history of formal complaints of the groping nature against him, lied to everyone about it and sent his ministers out to defend him on false pretences

they were understandably loving livid when they found out

Boris Johnson will resign as Conservative leader today - he will continue as Prime Minister until the autumn.

A Conservative leadership race will take place this summer and a new Prime Minister will be in place in time for the Tory party conference in October.

Sri Lanka looks to be deteriorating - both President and PM are resigning. I've given it some thought and here's one possible outcome.

Sri Lanka's president has resigned after fleeing the country and the government has all but collapsed. Best case guesses are maybe 6 months to maybe sorta get things back to normal.
In the face of enormous riots, unrest, and the beginnings of a mass famine, international aid is extended. People aren't stupid - they see that neither China nor India is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. Both offers are accepted by different factions, resulting in a Chinese airbase being built and a heavy garrison of Indian troops stationed. Tensions rise as China continues to rattle their sabers globally, and with their new foothold in the Indian Ocean, they feel secure in escalating. Ships begin loitering threateningly and shadowing Indian Navy vessels, ultimately leading to a full blockade as China makes a power play. India does not like the thought of an openly hostile China squeezing them from both sides and a special military operation begins.

How long will it take to capture Colombo?2 days
Will Nuke General be killed?Yes
Total Sri Lankan civillian casualties:500 dead
Total military casualties India:3000 dead
Total military casualties China.:150000 dead
Will the China army regulars hold the lines?No
Will the China People's Guard fight to the end?No
Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?:Yes
Will China launch attacks on the Sri Lankans?Yes
Will China launch attacks on Indonesia?No
-If yes; will Indonesia retaliate harshly?Yes
Will China sacrifice Colombo (gas/nuke it)?No
Will the Sri Lankans make a grab for independence?Yes
Will Pakistan do anything silly like try for land?Yes
Will China burn the tea plantations?Yes
How long will India be occupying Sri Lanka?~15 years
Will the India/China war catalyze increased terrorism in America?No
In the long run, will this war be good or bad for the world?Good
