That's good news but shameful that a shitty rag like the Mail has so much influence.

Yes, but at least it was 'public opinion' that put the paper out of touch. . . the paper is trying to get back in touch with it's readers, and not drift too far, no the other way around.
 
Hardly surprising that Cabinet Ministers have had enough of being wheeled out to defend Johnson, there's been so many uncomfortable/hilarious interviews over the months, with some ministers clearing struggling with what they are defending.

Boris Johnson facing Cabinet backlash over Chris Pincher sex pest allegations​

Ministers express anger at decision to appoint shamed MP to senior role and then being asked to defend the Government over sleaze crisis.

Speaking to The Telegraph on Sunday night, sources close to three Cabinet ministers criticised the Prime Minister’s decision to appoint Mr Pincher to the role of deputy chief whip and expressed dismay at having to publicly answer questions about what Mr Johnson knew about claims of sexual impropriety.

Comparing the situation to the sleaze scandals that dogged the latter years of the Major government, one said: “It just increases the feeling that we are in late John Major-era territory even more – when you are trying to appease people, you are more inclined to turn blind eye to bad behaviour.”

They added that Mr Johnson was in the “completely invidious position” of trying to placate his allies because he did not want to “lose their support”.

The source added that: “My understanding from ministers is there is a lot of anger in the parliamentary party at both the handling of Pincher and also these subsequent revelations – the guy had to quit before over the exact same issue. Someone, the whip, should have reported him to the AA, not promoted him into the whips’ office.”

A second Cabinet source said defending the Prime Minister’s handling of the allegations against Mr Pincher was “soul destroying”, while a third said it was “a bit like getting punched in the face”.

One told The Telegraph that it was likely that junior ministers would be “wheeled out” on broadcast interviews as their more senior Cabinet colleagues were likely to try to “pull rank” and refuse to go on the airwaves.

Several Tory MPs are also understood to have contacted the Whips’ Office demanding that the Prime Minister make clear that Mr Pincher should resign from Parliament, and asking them to guarantee that they will not reinstate the whip.

“I think most of us messaged demanding he lose the whip,” one backbencher said. “Many of us have said he should resign altogether, immediately.”

Two other headaches for him this week, on Wednesday it's the elections for the executive of the 1922 committee, and if rebels win, they can move to change the rules that prevent another no-confidence vote taking place for 12 months. Currently 15% of Tory MPs have to put letters in again at that 12 month point, the suggestion is the rule could be changed so that if 25% put letters in that could trigger an immediate vote.

Also on Wednesday he's got a 2-hour drilling by the Liaison Committee of senior MPs, which is made up of Select Committee Chairs, many of which have been vocal in criticising Johnson.

So, that's a hattrick of problems to get the cunt squirming this week. :D
 
The Times has a little more about the possible rule change.

Another rebel said that the row had “100 per cent” strengthened the campaign to oust Johnson. One cause of anger was that “Boris put Pincher in because of his loyalty in breaking the plots and getting people on board — his previous misdemeanours were excused”, the MP said.

Some rebels are discussing simply forcing Johnson to hold a confidence vote should 54 MPs, or 15 per cent of the parliamentary party, demand one. Under a compromise proposal, a rule would be introduced under which he would face a confidence vote if 25 per cent — 90 MPs — submitted letters to Sir Graham Brady, the committee chairman. “This is a unifying manifesto point,” one MP thinking of standing said. “It unites those chomping at the at the bit to get him out and those who are reserved about rules changes.”

As 148 voted against him before, and things have since got worst with those by-election results and now the Pincher scandal, one assumes it was be easy to get 90 letters in.

I can imagine him not going even if they do vote the cunt out as leader of the party.
He will quite happily trigger constitutional crisis after crisis

I think this is true, but the more he fucks about the more obvious to the public just what a pathetic twat he actually is. When he's dragged out of No 10 in tears and stuck in front of a camera, that's when Tory support will go through the floor.

Could certainly imagine him seeking to call an election if they try and boot him out, though I suspect cabinet support would disappear pretty sharpish in those circumstances.
