I'd say he is desperate to get to an election so he can spread any blame across the party.

Although it should be obvious, please ensure that you name someone that more than you and your dog would vote for. Then maybe you could tell me what you are doing on the political front about getting your team, any team elected, or what you are doing with your union to champion the rights of workers. Otherwise I may start to think you're a whining do nothing.
Wilts, that is a good post sir, and it is interesting that you still see the Tories as winners if a GE is called soon.Others seem to think that Labour, being so far ahead in recent polls and popularity, would now more likely be the winners.

If Johnson can't win in North Shropshire or Tiverton, seats the Tories have never lost, then they wont win a GE anytime soon.But I doubt Johnson does, he is that arrogant. And more pertinately he knows his most immediate threat is being thrown out by the Tory Party so he will deal with them first. If that means calling a GE, thats what he will do. He's still in power - and thats what he cares about.There's no long term plan, it's one day a time. That's how he has been all his life.
Just another day in which Johnson lies in a way that would have ended the career of every single previous PM.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62047883So, so damaging to our politics, this normalisation of lying without consequences.
It looks like Raab could be toast as well after him saying that Johnson being briefed about Pinscher was 'news to him'.It means that either Raab knew too and is lying himself, or that Raab is being lied to as well as the rest of us which still doesn't look good for him.

This is far far more serious than the birthday cake issue. It's not at all something you forget. If it was one of my team they'd be out the door no questions asked and I certainly wouldn't appoint someone with that background.
Javid resigns now too, hopefully not the last.
