Interestingly, Gove skipped PMQs to chat to someone on his mobile in the car park. But he could have just been trying to score some coke tbf. --- http://i.imgur.com/6eF0W.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

DeadBankerDream posted... What rules? What meeting? The 1922 Committee are a members' committee for the Conservative party - kind of like an oversight committee - who can trigger a vote of confidence in the party leadership if a high enough percentage of the Party's MPs write in to request one. The rules currently state that if you survive a vote - as Johnson did in June - another one can't be called for a year. But because they're affiliated with the party rather than an official government thing, they can basically set their own rules, so if the committee vote to scrap the one year safe zone, there's technically no reason why they can't. The internal elections for places on the committee take place in a few weeks, and it was widely expected that they would scrap that rule after that anyway, but it looks like they're probably not going to wait until then. --- http://i.imgur.com/6eF0W.gif ...

DeadBankerDream posted... What happened in 1922? I think that it's just because the people who formed it were all elected in 1922 (but they didn't form it that year), so it's like a "Class of 22" thing, but I'm not certain, so people smarter than me are free to correct me there. --- http://i.imgur.com/6eF0W.gif ...

Doe posted... Why are any of them resigning? Why don't they just take a cue from the US Republicans? Conservative means you can break any laws you want With Javid and Sunak it was most likely a case of seeing the writing on the wall and wanting to distance themselves as much as possible before they throw their hat in for a leadership contest. Then the floodgates opened. Javid's speech this morning was basically calling out anyone who didn't resign as being complicit, and with Johnson all but fucked now nobody wants to be seen to be on the wrong side of this. But, once again, when everyone is talking about principles over the next few days, it's worth remembering not only all the things they stood by Boris for, but also the fact that so many of them have explicitly mentioned that it was getting caught in a lie about promoting a sex pest rather than the actual act of promoting him that they objected to - they didn't like that it made them look bad. The people quitting aren't stand-up guys and gals making a righteous stand in the face of Boris' bullshittery, they're people who have read the room and decided that it's more politically expedient to cast him aside now than it would be to curry favour with him.
