🚨 Possible Leadership Challenge 🚨

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson may be facing an imminent leadership challenge


Tonight the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson may be facing an imminent leadership challenge after just 2 years and 178 days in power over revelations of parties in Downing Street, including the night before Prince Philip's funeral as the Queen sat alone. The publication of an internal report tomorrow may trigger more letters of No Confidence, of which 15% (54 MPs) are needed to trigger a Confidence Vote in the Conservative Party leader.

As a Conservative and Unionist Party member I have little sympathy. From the start, I argued that the lockdowns and restrictions were inhumane, wrong and a total overreaction to what was quite a mild virus. The elderly died alone in their beds, children with cancer dying alone without relatives - evil and draconian rules imposed by this government on people for a virus that was no serious threat to the vast majority of people. And the fact that people in Number 10 were partying as these rules were in play just proves that the government purposely frightened the population over this more than they should have been because if the government had access to data suggesting this was a serious disease, they wouldn't be partying - would they? Judge by actions, not propaganda.

In addition to all this, the government has been losing its way focusing on global warming as thousands of illegal immigrants flood across from Calais.

On the other hand, the only thing making me want the PM to stay in position is that the replacement could be even worse in terms of restrictions. We know that in the Cabinet over the last couple of years, Gove has been the main one pushing for even harsher measures. He anywhere near power would be a disaster, and to be fair to Johnson he is an electoral winner (or was, until this).

Let's see what unfolds. I'll post any rumours I see.

Thoughts? Should the Tory Party remove Boris Johnson as leader and Prime Minister?

For those unaware, assuming this is true...

If the PM contests it (likely), all Conservative MPs (360) will then vote whether they have Confidence in the Prime Minister. If he wins 50%+ he can remain as PM. Of course, this is in theory, because if the numbers having No Confidence in the PM are high enough, then staying in position as PM then becomes untenable and he would resign.
