There may be an element of strategy in regards to Boris not being pushed JUST YET. If he wins a vote of no confidence right now (likely) we are stuck with him for another year. If the local election results are a disaster for the Conservatives in May (also likely) and a vote of no confidence is pushed through afterwards, he's a lot more likely to lose I'd imagine.

A slight gamble perhaps should Boris BOUNCE BACK over the next three months (unlikely, but not impossible), but a potential better outcome for all than the country being HANDCUFFED to him for another 12 months with his ridiculous majority.

It's not quite as much of an issue as is made out. If the force of opinion really shifts among the parliamentary party towards getting him out, they can change the rules to allow another no confidence vote earlier - the threat of that behind the scenes after the disastrous European Parliament results was basically what finally forced Theresa May out.

Truss's bewildering popularity with the Tory membership is an issue as well. The party don't want her as a leader because they know she's a total chump but the same membership that voted for Johnson love her. So it's not prudent for them to shove Johnson when, potentially, something even worse, just in a different way, awaits.

Is the Queen dead? Has Putin invaded the Ukraine? Is Boris Johnson too hungover to come into work? We just don't know...
 
Seems to be down to a row between the Department of Health and Treasury over extra funding for covid testing etc. All resolved now - no extra money will be given.
 
I see the Boris PR machine is rolling out the word FREEDOM(S) to accompany the announcements about covid restrictions ending :zombie:

Yes I’m sure the million or so people with underlying health conditions will be feeling very FREE come next week!
 
Watching the parliament statement and the Tory MPs that were baying for his blood a couple of weeks ago are right up his arse now he’s removing the restrictions. The bastard’s got away with it.

I am agog that they are calling it 'Freedom Day' again. Freedom from what, exactly, this time? The tone is all just so so stupid.

Freedom to INFECT WHOEVER THE FUCK WE LIKE!

YAY
 
Recent YouGov polling shows that less than 20% of people agree with removal of mandatory self-isolation following a positive test. He’s won back some of the swivel-eyed on his backbenches but i’m not sure this will be as popular with the public as he thinks.

That seems to be a running theme - they have constantly bowed to pressure from within the right of the party and the press in respect of COVID and that has almost always been at odds with public opinion which has been for more sensible. Any broad sense of hysteria and anger has been entirely fabricated.

Well it’s a ridiculous policy. I get being against all other restrictions but why would anyone support this?

Because you can pretend it is over. They're also reducing the ONS random sample testing in some way, which is equally stupid, but again, if you can't quantify the problem, it makes it much easier to ignore.
 
He's definitely survived now. The Tory press (ie almost all of them) are completely in "shut up, there's A WAR ON!" mode so Sue Grey could find that Boris conga'd through the briefing room, coked out his tits, balls-deep in a watermelon and it won't even register.

If we're waiting for any of the papers to run with how much of the Tories' money has come from Putin's sidekicks, we'll be waiting.

Twitter seems to be focussed on his utter ineptitude as an education secretary, and ignoring the earlier bit of his career where he was fired for allegedly leaking national security matters.
