Funny, I thought you were referring to Dorries due to this:

Mogg says even a win by 1 vote is enough for him to stay

And yet he said when May won her VOC by only 63% it was a "crushing defeat for her".

A hypocritical Tory - who'd have thought it? 😄

He conveniently said earlier on that he was wrong.

If he wins by 52-48 it would be hilarious.

Well…

yes, you have....but this is a warning to try and get MPs to get behind the PMs...but reality is it would be a really stupid thing to do with the current polls showing that even Johnson could lose his seat.

I don't Johnson would be that bothered if he lost his seat. He is interested in being PM and not representing constituents.

Can he still be PM if he loses his seat? How does that work?

There’s nothing that says what happens if a PM loses their seat. In theory they could become a Lord but it’s fairly unknown.

Vote result expected to be confirmed at 9pm this evening. 
 

Time to get some drinks chilling.

80 too few - but maybe this opens the floodgates on him? Especially with those by-elections coming up.

Explained by me poorly. If he lost his seat it would be bad night for Tories and almost certainly a labour government anyway. My point was that I could see him risking his seat, because I don't think the seat means much to him anyway. He will be straight out of the door the second he isn't pm.

This is so disingenuous, it's insulting. She is wrong on so many levels, she knows she's wrong but she hopes that the public don't know enough about our own politics to be fooled by it.

Curiously, if BoJo goes today, his time as PM will be exactly one day shorter than Gordon Brown's.

Come on! We only need 30 more of you rats to scurry off the sinking ship Boris.

Hopefully a tipping point is reached and is compelling MPs to do the right thing. Surely the booing at the weekend has woken some of them up to how unpopular their leader is right now.
