Kwarteng has piled in on the has to go side.
If a GE is called now Boris will still survive, that’s because the alternative (opposition) is unthinkable and they can’t really make the situation better no matter how much they try.
I think I am correct that you are not living in the UK?
I would respectfully suggest you are missing the mood on the ground at the moment, and most Tory MP’s know it. ( Hence Bernard Jenkin pressing him at the end of the liaison Ctte. Meeting)
It’s clear they are terrified that he would call an election now. It’s possible that Johnson would loose his own seat in Uxbridge.

crikey man, that was sixteen minutes ago, keep up
You're wrong chewy. There's no surviving this. It's over.
'Angela Rayner for PM? That will learn you.'
What might it teach us Chew?
That was a murder in broad daylight.
But the corpse doesn't know he's dead yet.
I know her dad!
He must have been proud when she backed Boris last time.
I could type 37 now with confidence that it would be accurate within a half hour!
I'd like to imagine the panicked staff of Tory Ministers frantically typing out resignation letters desperately before he resigns. I would have thought a lot will feel they need to be able to say they were part of the party that got rid of him, come the next election. So cynical it's grotesque really.

Personally, I would take that risk. See who got the bigger basketball.
Mood on the ground? Why? Stand firm as a leader because that's what leader suppose to be.

She will learn us not to be silly billy. LOL!

Yes, if Boris goes Conservative just dug themselves a hole.
The really donkey move by Boris is his support for Ukraine ... EU did not even do much and yet he sticks his neck out ... silly billy..
She calls the current political crisis “self-inflicted"
By the Tory party or the electorate?
Word of the day is 'filipendulous' (19th century): hanging by a thread.
The.word that springs to mind for me is 'Tagnut'
Even Patel is in #10
(Brand new) Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi
Home Secretary Priti Patel
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps
Wales Secretary Simon Hart
Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis
International Trade Secretary Anne Marie Trevelyan
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng
In the end he has to go because he will lose ministers faster than he can replace them and Nadine Dorries cannot do
all theany jobsin governmentFTFY (for for Rory...)
Stand firm as a leader because that’s what leader suppose to be.
Whatever, dude.
Even Patel is in #10
Is that to help remove him or will the potential rebel ministers be waking up in Rwanda?
So the 1922 comm hasn't changed the rules, so if he doesn't resign he ain't getting shifted till next week when there's a new executive, new rules.
The UK will go without a functional government.
Question - how can Boris call a general election? Doesn't he need a vote in Parliament for that, and would he win that?
The UK will go without a functional government
so no change from the last few years eh?
Anyway, he can call a General Election if he wishes but he wouldn't be that stupid...would he? Er...oh...sorry...hmm...
Fabricant on R4 now...

I'd rather have competence as the number one characteristic of a leader.
Nads has just arrived at Downing Street apparently. Still full of S…upport.
Or to deck the cabinet ministers encouraging BJ to go…
He must have been proud when she backed Boris last time.
I haven't seen Peter in years now so what he thinks of Boris I don't know. But he's a former Tory council leader himself so I expect he probably was proud.
Nads has just arrived at Downing Street apparently. Still full of S…upport.
She's still expecting to film that Tik Tok duet she planned with Boris last week.
So I guess haf the cabinet are standing around BJ supporting him and the other half are currently breaking up the table and chairs to build a funeral pyre and asking if anyone has some matches...
Boris has snuck back in to No 10 via the back door...
Chewy gets all the big calls right.
Do not feed the troll.
I am so enjoying this, quite glad the 1922 haven't changed the rules, he is going but the longer this goes on the more degrading it is for Johnson and I love that.
Do not feed the troll.
Which neatly describes having Johnson as PM.
Whatever, dude.
Better get voted out by the Public then being back stabbed by a bunch of push overs.
I'm hoping this is the last series of the Tory show as it's just not believable anymore, none of the actors are convincing and the plot just keeps getting sillier.
Hopefully they'll build a wicker man in the middle of Westminster in the shape of Margaret Thatcher. Will makes tonights telly a bit more exciting...
If he called a GE, who would go out and campaign for him,? The vast majority of Tory MP's would go to ground / go on holiday / find some white goods to hide in.
Nads is just there so they can reenact the titanic prow scene on the steps of no.10
I’m hoping this is the last series of the Tory show as it’s just not believable anymore, none of the actors are convincing and the plot just keeps getting sillier.
Any opposition supporters will say that regardless.
Also I want to know if SNP supporters will prefer to face Boris or Starmer? LOL!
Not even obvious troll can spoil our fun today.
Keep them coming chewy.
Apparently Gove has stuck the knife in (again) and called for him to go according to the BBC ticker.
Is it even worth commenting that gove will stick the knife in.
That little weasel would sell his children into slavery if he thought it would get him more power
Anyone know what the song is playing over the loudspeakers near Downing st?
If a GE is called now Boris will still survive, that’s because the alternative (opposition) is unthinkable
Chewkw - To you maybe, but I can definitely think of an opposition govt, and it would be heaven compared to this shower.
Based on the Tories losing a 24k majority in Devon last week, do you really think they'd win a GE right now?!

LOL! The oppositions are getting all very excited at the prospect of seeing Power is getting closer and within their reach.

That will depend on who has bigger basketballs. IMO, yes they will rally together whether they like it or not if there is a GE. To me those push overs are not worth having.

This will all be very cathartic. Imagine even as a tory tosspot, having had to be vaguely pleasant to Dorres because she was a fellow minister must have been very hard to swallow. Now, with the shackles off and the boss getting gutted she walks into the party and finally you can tell her what you really think of her.
I'm hoping he goes full 'scorched earth' and calls a GE, which might as well be handing SKS the keys to No.10 at this point.
When all this is over, nobody will be able to call Thatcher's resignation 'dramatic,' Cameron's departure humiliating and May's will be looked back on as dignified and gracious.
Johnson's smashed it, he really has.
