Boris Johnson Faces No-Confidence Vote in Parliament

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces a confidence vote on Monday after scores of his MPs submitted letters calling for him to step aside.

The secret ballot will be held between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. in Westminster, with the result due to be announced at 9 p.m. Before that, Johnson had a chance to address his party, reminding MPs the Tories won their biggest election victory in 40 years on his watch and dangling the prospect of tax cuts.

His premiership is unraveling less than a year after his boosters were talking of a decade in power that would reshape the country after Brexit, his signature achievement. While the 57-year-old prime minister’s supporters are insisting he’ll win the vote, history suggests that even that is unlikely to restore his authority and give the government a renewed long-term outlook.

Imagine having confidence in a guy who combs his hair with a balloon

Brits have a new nickname for Bojo.
It's "Booo!" Cut down to the chase. :-))

Can the US send articles to Congress for a vote no confidence for President Biden.

What amazes me is that while Boris was Major of London many colleagues who worked with him came out publically accusing him of supreme incompetence and laziness, then the Tories decided - yeah that guy should be our leader!
Then the whole country went - yeah the incompetent guy - that’s our leader!
What’s that Radiohead song…”You do it to yourself, you do, & that’s what really hurts!”

Pooor Bojo! . . .

Bojo has lost his mojo
among his own ranks.

The little wisp of dignity
his Party has is hanging
in the balance.

If Bojo survives his own
Party's non-confidence
Vote today, it will eviscerate
the party for good. Then,
it will be NoGo for the Tories.

Goodbye Boris you're fired don't worry you could have a pint on me poor lad

[koonleung]

Ironic. Chips are starting to fall now.

[hhcook]

He should be. He was working for Klaus Schwab instead of the British people.

[Foxyfreedom]

Shit. I would take Boris Johnson over the guy that poops his pants and just spews nonsense overseas here.

[theresgoldinthesecomments]

Didn't he party during the lock downs?

[raypeters]

Who cares what happens to those pirates ☠

de Pfeffel is genuinely just a petit-bourgeois who loves to schmooze & booze (tee-hee-hee). He'd be the talk-of-the-town, here in his birthplace home of New York City. Boris, come home hahaha

[rwhunt]

Not sure, but I think he has been in this pickle jar before.

[matthewkinder]

It prove UK democracy is still functioning though ... you won't see in France for instance.

It was fortunate for his fate that there was a Queen's festival at this time.
