you cannot infer a fact. If its inferred its an inference 🙂
I think we are using the language differently. For me an inference is a particular type of process (of logic or whatever goes on in our brains) which leads us to conclude that an alleged or proposed fact is true. The thing is still a fact (or not, if you take the view that only true things can be facts). There are any number of ways we can go about finding what it true, different shades of evidence we can draw on. Inferring them is one way. In legal speak it means where there is no first-hand evidence of the fact, no witness who saw it with their own eyes sort of thing. So some important facts, such as the fact that human CO2 emissions have contributed to global warming, can only be found by inference. But they are still facts.
What is his exit strategy?
I reckon he will have a "heart attack" brought on by the nasty press hounding him. He will step down for his health and to spend time with various young ladies ,sorry his family.
That way it's someone else's fault and he can be a hero.
I don;t think he has one and I don't think he will resign. He will have to be sacked and will slink away hiding lying down in a car

7 minutes but worth a listen.
That Ghana letter is brilliant – is it genuine?
Looks to be an official account from what I know of twitter.
Since it mentions that its already been tried once before I reckon the "dead meat" is one of those "oops how did we make that mistake" two fingers.
7 minutes but worth a listen.
Worth a listen just for the way he says Dominic Raab. 😂
Presumably Labour calling a VONC now will force Tories to back Johnson and so wallow in his cesspool or dissolve house for a GE, which many won't want so it will make 1922 shenanigans to replace Tory party leader look more ridiculous.

Nice!
Sooner rather than later now, it seems

I do hope he clings on just to drag the Tories even lower
7 minutes but worth a listen.
That really is an excellent summary.
Even if its not happening, Johnson will be worried tonight

What is his exit strategy?
I'm anticipating a rally of his supporters in Trafalgar Square followed by a "peaceful" march on Parliament to "Make Boris Great Again"
hopefully Nick Watt on Newsnight will have some sweary quotes from unnamed MPs.
And almost certainly the word 'febrile' will be used
So what's the deal with PMQs tomorrow if Johnson is already facing a leadership challenge?
Will he even show up, Would it be Raab?
I too hppe that Ghana press release is for real, it wouldn't surprise me. Last year the UK re-routed the flight from Accra from Heathrow to Gatwick (which is less prestigious).
So Ghana immediately responded by re-routing their end from Accra to the middle of nowhere over 100 miles from the capitol.
Funnily enough, the flight was moved back to Heathrow immediately.
If he loses the leadership, he’ll resign his seat too, won’t he?

Johnson the Wilderness Years ?

Why would he? He can still collect his huge salary, take bribes - I mean take side jobs, and grift away. NO restictions on what a back bench MP does on the side adn no need for him ever to attend the house.
No incentive for him to resign his seat. He is skint and needs every penny
I'm reading that new web site as "In Liz Wet Truss."
Yuk.
Wet her spoons.
The hits just keep cumming

TBH, what sane business would use Alexander to promote, well, anything?
Its the paybacks for the favours done - they have to follow thru or else future PMs and ministers will not do their bidding in return for money once they leave cabinet office
He will be on the board of companies or paid huge sums for non jobs - thats his payback for doing their bidding
He won't actually have to do anything for this payoff
So - Truss for PM? certainly the members choice.

telegraph would likely lob money at him as a columnist (barclays family feud not withstanding) and then plenty of money from giving after dinner speeches.

Unless the MPs stop her getting through. That said though I think it would depend on how the campaigns go. I think like most people I am baffled by how highly she is rated so who knows what would happen once the papers get started on her.
I dont think there is anything comparing how the ranking prior to the leadership converts into actual votes.
Truss would be entertaining for sure and I'd sooner her than Sunak if we are ever to get rid of this lot.
She would also be a fitting successor if the great Pork Pie Plot succeeds.😉

You could equally have said exactly that about Dave too, but he’s trousered millions from his out and out corruption with all his old chums in Westminster lobbying activities on behalf of corporate clients

He would be too pissed before dinner was finished to say anything coherent or intelligible and that would be before a round of pass the port.
I can't keep up with The Mail! One minute it's against him and he must go... now its poor little Boris being plotted against by those pesky pork pie eating red wall Tories.
I'm finding the Red Wall Tories being blamed rather fantastic to be honest.😁

That's been the way he's always operated in public speaking. Never stopped him getting lucrative hugs before. It's all an act.

If Cummings' Kompromat does for Boris with his former allies and ministers queuing up for a go with the dagger, any chance when he goes he'll retaliate (from behind a newspaper column for example) against everyone else that was complicit in these parties, PPE and so on, that he has dirt on?
I know the tories have always had a vindictive streak, but this is the first time in my memory that they've been able to attack on so many media fronts, in the time of Thatcher and Major there weren't the same options. And I know it would damage the tories massively but Boris has never been in it for them, only Boris.
Just want to know how much popcorn to order in.

Well when you’ve spent two years telling them that they owe their jobs to your supposed genius, then that cuts both ways.
They may have won these seats, but not by much. My own new Tory MP has a majority of just 100 votes. It doesn’t take much of a swing to see that off.
Like a lot of jobs when things get tough, they’re looking at the old adage ‘last in, first out’
How do we think PMQs will go, today?
I'm aware that it's all a bit of a pantomime, but last week was very satisfying/entertaining to watch - is today likely to be similar, or is Alexander just a busted flush now...?
Perhaps the reason the red wallers are behind the coup is that the whips haven't accumulated enough dirt on the 2019 intake yet.

Same here @binners - our Tory MP has a majority of 590, which given the previous majorities up in the 4 or 5 thousands is absolutely nothing. The constituency has lost out a fair bit in the "levelling up" promises too so the current incumbent must be on very thin ice!
I know Sky news is left-wing these days
Seems P-Jay still hasn't worked out what is going in the UK, probably also thinks Brexit is done and the Tories are competent with the economy...

Johnson will still be "isolating" or the dog ate his homework or some other excuse not to attend is my bet
The isolating excuse won't wash TJ, he was bumbling about hospital/vacc centres yesterday looking contrite and humble
Get BERKXIT done
If Starmer doesn't nail him to the wall over "I didn't know!"gate with the label 'Captain Hindsight' at every possible opportunity, I'll be gutted.
How many times do we think Johnson will say "playing politics" today?
