[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Pro-Boris MP count now up to 124. Creeping up, but it won't make 180 before the voting starts. Still - expect him to win, but the anti-Boris vote should be plenty big enough to inflict a fatal wound. Will then just be a matter of how long he takes to bleed out.

Yep, he's toast.

One of those calling for Boris Johnson to go - Brexiteer Steve Baker - left before the end of the meeting.

He told the BBC the PM had "risen to the occasion" and made a "strong case" for remaining in power.

Baker added that Johnson is likely to win the confidence vote later - but he'll still be casting his ballot against the PM.

They can see a SNP/Labour partnership based on a independence vote.

He's been got at.

Some wag was saying Johnson was promising jobs to those to persuade them to change their minds. He will have 37 Home Secretaries and 25 Foreign Secretaries.

As a reminder: when May won her no confidence vote, she had more than enough public backers that everyone knew she would win by 1pm. For Boris to still be short by as much as he is should be sounding alarm bells for him.

I'm still expecting him to win. But I suspect the margin will be narrow enough that the damage will have been done.

He'll just ignore this.

The line will be... "No leader has 100% confidence. I hear that you want change. Let's get on and deliver."

He's a liar and a slob. He'll just hang on until he is dragged out kicking and screaming like the child that he is.

The new line is already being trotted out by JRM and Mad Dorries - "1 vote is enough"

He's here to stay.

Definitely this I reckon……scraping home by the skin of his teeth (if he does) won’t be enough now. Can those currently indicating their support flip before the actual vote ? Overall lack of support might encourage a few more to try to bin him off.

"I'm truly sorry, I'm appalled and I've learned" didn't last long then did it?

Nadine does it again. She could become a liability to him, with a bit of luck.

Penalties.

Can't believe he said this. It would mean he's actually told the truth about something
