    Yes, it is that easy.

    All you have to do is act properly.

    Johnson makes it look incredibly difficult, but it is in fact very easy.

    He isn't a victim in any of this - he's the cause of his own downfall because he's so weak.

    We're probably at the point where Labour would win a General Election, if one were called now; unfortunately, for Labour, they're not going to get the chance. And by the time the next General Election comes around the Conservatives may well have sorted themselves out.

    Or even better he removes the whip from the 1922 committee after they're elected.

    Most of the leading candidates are ultra Thatcherite extremists, last seen disappearing off to the right of Ghengis Khan. Sunak, Braverman, Javid, Truss, Baker... and the list goes on.

    Having ground the country into the dirt with Austerity Economics for ten years before the pandemic, leaving our public services in tatters, the leading contenders all want to double down on those policies, causing more misery for millions. You couldn't make it up.

    They should change the name of their party from Conservative (since they conserve nothing) to Destructive.

    I don't know what's more nauseating, this shambles at the head of our government or @Bronco@Bronco with Rees Mogg as his avatar.

    I too think Hunt and Tugendhat have a better chance that implied aswell. I don't want Hunt but those listed above many of them have sat by and allowed this shitshow to go on, defended this shitshow when all round could see they were taking the public for fools and only jumped at the death when they knew the game was up, so a swing away from those who allowed this to happen would be something I could see Tories getting behind.

    It doesn't have to be a cabinet minister who takes over the reigns, infact anyone not in cabinet can go into a leadership contest completely free of any connection to recent events.

    Lazy politics mate, as you say focus on what those in power are not doing rather than putting forward what they would do in power to drive the UK forward

    I said earlier on here that Burnham would be a good shout to lead the Labour party, thing Is, wasn't he overlooked previously and now no longer a MP?

    I by no means want to underestimate the seriousness of any parties in or outside No 10 but given the present situation in Europe I should imagine Vladimir Putin is quaking in his boots at the thought the UK standing up to him over any potential invasion of Ukraine.
    By all means let's have an inquiry but the way the media, in particular the BBC is covering Birthdaygate and other parties when we could soon be at war Europe is quite ridiculous. Putin will be having a good laugh at our media's priorities.

    It's actually people like this that are starting to irritate me.

    They're equating work colleagues with family members. Everyone who worked in a key industry saw colleagues but didn't see their own families.......as you say.....supposedly. But what actual relevance is that?

    They were allowed to be there for work. You could suggest that they milked it, and I'm relatively sure they did, but isn't comparing it to a family gathering completely moot?

    And I agree on the last point. Anyone one has properly partied with a DJ and properly drunken antics is screwed. If this includes an MPs or senior civil servants they're in a mess.

    But that's a million times different from presenting a birthday cake or having a glass of wine during what would usually be described as a lunch break or a relaxed work meeting (which is clearly the culture that presides). That's the distinction in my eyes.

    Any anger about the former is fine in my eyes, that's what I was angry about at the beginning. But equating the latter with "not being able to see my family" is silly.
