Same with sunak … so backing pm we have Zadawi last night and Raab … that rules them out of any leadership bid I’d say

Plus, they're both too thick to either challenge or lead.

Don't think there will be any leadership challenge...way he goes is if vote of no confidence or he resigns.

Reflecting on yesterday's events at PMQs., I think Starmer was masterful. Showing his full fleetness of mind to adapt his attack in reaction to Johnson's utterings. Never seen him so effective. 

He really was, he adapted on the fly to Johnson and completely destroyed Johnson.

Here you go, shows when cabinet members supported the PM.

Enquiry might force his hand depending on how it’s worded …. Lots to come … Laura K said earlier it might take 1 week … The people interested won’t be backing him now …

He's good at this stuff, right? this is his thing. He's not so good at the barnstorming speeches that you need during election campaigns though....hopefully he can improve that.

Yeah I’d agree with that.

The enquiry that will say exactly what Spaffer wants it to say? It’s going to be anything but impartial. 
 

I can’t take the credit for this but…

ITS TIME WE GOT BOXIT DONE!

She’s also in an impossible position given his misdemeanours are obvious and he’s admitted he was there … she ruins any credibility she has .. or just completes the job on the PM with things already known …

I would imagine she’s gonna be another stooge like Lord Geidt and somehow let Johnson off.

How can she though ? It’s her job to report the facts isn’t it ? Although bizarrely it seems like Johnson can or can’t sack himself as a result …

Daily Mail tracking it...  Pretty much everyone has backed the PM in some way yesterday

Absolutely strange state of affairs they all still fall in behind a lame duck PM .. wonder if any of them attended ?

she might say a further inquiry is needed by someone or other...or maybe the police...

[Lycra]

Just had reply from my MP, she's going wait until the Gray Inquiry is published before deciding her actions.

Of course the Gray Inquiry is so independent. Reporting to the PM who decides what can be published 😠

He’s vaccinated so would only have to isolate if he showed symptoms wouldn’t he ? I loose track of all the changes … and a negative lft would mean he could carry on ?

In his defence, given the prevalence of Covid and the number of children he has it’s pretty likely statistically.

The same way that Geidt did, conveniently not find Johnson deliberately guilty but only accidentally made a mistake and then next year she’ll get rewarded. She was personally appointed by Johnson to look into this after his last appointment was found to have broken the rules anyway.

Sue Gray isn’t exactly perfect, she has previously given advice to staff about deleting emails so they can’t be found under a freedom of information request.
