Quote from: SydneyRover on June 06, 2022, 11:16:33 amIf 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. 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.

Realistically MPs aren't massively paid, he could earn more than that just for attending dinners. Sad but true.

Realistically MPs aren't massively paid, he could earn more than that just for attending dinners. Sad but true.The reason he's clinging on as long as possible is that the longer he's PM, the more money he'll get for doing the College circuit in the USA, articles for the papers, presenting HIGNFY etc.He's always coveted the £100k (+ exes)that Blair got per lecture.(Oh the exes I refer to are expenses, not ex girlfriends/mothers of his legion of children)

Much harder to declare these things etc etc.Of course if Boris wins the vote tonight one of the other parties (if they really want him out) could call a vonc in parliament and test the Tory MPs who vote against him.

You might find this article by the well known lefty Max Hastings illustrative, indeed somewhat frightening, too. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/24/boris-johnson-prime-minister-tory-party-britainBobG
Here's Nadine who, in her full throated defence of the clown against Jeremy Hunt, admits the Tories failed to prepare for the pandemic and caused thousands of unnecessary deaths. https://twitter.com/NadineDorries/status/1533763409627566080?t=JzQIotlhXa0CjsvLIM0Usg&s=19You literally can't read that any other way can you?

And Major triggered his himself.
Just listen to yourself. You think you come across as all intellectual yet you come out with childish, unoriginal, corny, imbecilic schoolboy insults like calling the Prime Minister Greasy Piglet.It's people like you who lose Labour supporters simply because they don't want to be on the same side as you.
