Johnson won by a land slide didn't he? And there's no worry at the moment when there's no GE any time soon.

He has plunged the party into a mire of criticism - risked that land slide in the red wall seats they won - lost massive majorities in safe Tory seats and even turned loyalists against him............ as I say the strategy of a clean slate new leader didn't work with May and ( predictably ) hasn't done so with Johnson. For over a decade the Tory Party has gradually been taken over by people who offend Tory ideals - they don't care about the poor, the sick or the elderly but piss on the Royal Family - impose the highest tax burden ever on the UK and fail to get the Brexit you promised and its a Party destroying itself with a narcissistic leader who tosses people who are loyal to him - including wives - under a bus if it suits him
 
This guy gives a very good explanation of what may happen when the Sue Gray report is published. Sounds feasible to me.



This too - she will report to Johnson and Johnson will decide what Johnson has done wrong and what sanctions Johnson must face as a result.............. but its not corrupt.

It will go one of two ways -

1/ Sue Grey gives it both barrels he ignores and she storms off calling him a twat
2/ Sue Grey pulls the trigger and a flag pops out of the end of the barrel with BANG written on it - she gets elevated to the Lords impervious to any stain on her reputation

 
Still got a feeling that he’ll manage to ride this out, for the timebeing at least. The front pages of The Mail and The Telegraph tomorrow suggest that they haven’t turned on him completely in the way some claimed, and the Parliamentary Party is too spineless to force him out.
So do i.

I can see him winning a leadership challenge and being immune for 12 month from another one.

Tories don't have a clear replacement. Rabb, Patel, Truss, and Gove aren't trusted either. Sunak will shoot his bolt and lose.

I’m not so sure about that. Unless something dramatically changes, the next election will likely be fought on the economy rather than big picture topics such as Brexit or ‘Levelling Up’, whatever that means. Therefore, the Conservatives could sit tight and hope that Johnson still has his electoral Midas touch, or they could twist and pitch Sunak against Starmer in early 2023. I’ll be looking closely into my tea leaves after the by-election and local election results.
