UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to face vote on leadership - BBC News

The UK’s prime minister, Boris Johnson, faces a vote of confidence in his leadership from his own party’s MPs on Monday night.

The challenge to his position was triggered after at least 15% of sitting Conservative MPs wrote a letter saying they no longer have confidence in Mr Johnson.

At least 180 MPs would need to vote against the prime minister to remove him.

However, a Conservative leader who survives a confidence vote is safe from any further challenge for a year.

If the tories don’t vote this guy out, then all of the Tory mps are just as guilty

[gdewyg]

A principled leader resigns and not wait to be pushed to restore his dignity

[SimplySheilaB]

He’s so arrogant they’ll have to drag him out, he’ll never resign

[Jimdrumming]

It sounds like it's just too keep his job safe for another year. By that time, the majority of people will have forgotten about it.

[sheniedhanji]

Finally! After weeks of speculation and waiting for him to resign.

Either the Tories vote him out or they become complicit in enabling him and his ways.

Either no confidence or no backbone. Their choice

[robinsoncrusoejr]

“Only Conservative MPs will take part.” They’re ALL doomed if they don’t understand he’s yesterday’s man, forever tainted in the nation’s mind with all the sorrows and hypocrisy we have witnessed over the last 2 years. A compulsive liar cannot remain at the helm.

Sadly, there’s likely no one half-decent enough to replace him, so he’ll return to #10 by default.

It's NOT a vote of confidence, ,,
It's a vote of NO CONFIDENCE

That bird in the background tweets louder than this guy can talk !😂😂

[evilronin]

He is not going anywhere, the spineless Tory party would not dare get rid of him.

[PeaceAndLove]

MP's that don't vote him out will join him come the General Election when we the voters get him out and those MP's supporting him.

[stephenwalker]

A rogues' gallery of men and women without character or judgement, judging the character of a man without judgement or character. Lovely.

[Sazwaz]

the corrupt will obviously vote for him, they are loving their lives esp Rushie qnd family 🙄

[Lukas-Tabz]

Love how theres a vote when pms complain but when we speak up were ignored

[dannyboy]

If he stays in wouldnt be shocked, if he gets voted out, I wouldn't be shocked.

[amandahunter]

It doesn't matter because there isn't anyone any different to replace him.

[emilydavison]

In a way, I want him to stay and lose in a very humiliating way at the next general election. He may lose his own seat, which would be very delicious.

[mikehutchison]

An 80 seat majority from 42% of the voters…….that’s the lack of democracy we suffer from.

Boris: Putin must go!
Putin: Who must go?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
