They have been offered a VoNC in the government which is the usual Commons procedure.

Staggering. The object of the VONC can decide whether or not he is subject to a VONC. This is banana republic stuff.

Precedent for doing exactly what was proposed in the motion. (And I’ve no idea why my post appeared twice)

These tax cuts are not for you and I are they? We won't be better off in any way but the banks and large corporations will be I'm guessing.

Positives out of Johnson's time as Prime Minister ?
The complete and utter deficiency and inadequacy of a rather complacent and self-congratulatory 'Mother of all Parliaments' as the world continued to move on in the last 220 years

thats what you're supposed to think. apparently a motion was put forward for vote of confidence in the PM, not a VoNC in the government, which they would have been obliged to make time for. clever really, knowing they wouldnt win, they get the headlines they want.
they can have a VoNC on the government if they want www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-governm...nce-vote-if-wording-motion-changes-2022-07-12

I’m reading that it was a VONC in both govt and PM. Been refused on grounds that PM has resigned, although he hasn’t, merely his intention to.

If that is the case then well played!
You say 'everyone', yet I feel there's a rather large section of the population who still latch on to them.

You are reliably predictable.
You love a good insult don't you? does it make you feel superior?

On what basis ? Most people aren’t even interested in politics.
B.A.N. acronyms now!
They may well not be, but I think there's history of people rather liking three word slogans and there's no reason to think that they no longer do.
