Politicians have survived much worse.I hope he loses but doubt it and expect he'll win.
The noises coming out of no 10 suggests they want this vote to draw a line under it and move on.But it's not going to draw a line under it. There are by elections, there is the standards commitee. If he gets through this tonight, it's going to keep coming back.The only way to draw a line under it, is to replace him.
Be interesting to see if any Cabinet Ministers/ Junior ministers actually come out against him, rather than keeping silent.

Plenty of time to really screw the Tory party. And I wouldn't put it past Boris to cling on regardless of how close any vote might be.

If he loses the vote can anyone see him hanging around being an everyday MP? As we know he doesn't do detail or hard work which I think he would regard as drudgery.

As we know he doesn't do detail or hard work which I think he would regard as drudgery. But if he left the Commons he'd have to do some real work for his money. As it is, he can pick up an MPs salary and do as little work as he wants. Probably whilst earning money doing something else at the same time anyway.
