A confidence vote was only recently won, though. It’s too long since I cared to know the Conservative Party leadership rules but I thought the PM couldn’t be challenged for a year?

Unless Johnson resigns, I suppose.

Rishi Sunak has gone too..

There are strong rumours of plans to stuff the 1922 committee with rebels and change the rules.

Not at all... If they keep resigning though you might run out of characters for the title.....

What are they trying to get ahead of? They stuck around this long despite the absolute shambles of BoJos Govt so assume something is coming?

[rjfp1962]

Could there be a joint-pack between Javid and Sunak?

We need an interview with Nadine Dorries urgently.
