I think the vote was on whether to have the investigation in the first place. And Johnson lost. If he comes in and tries to make a new vote to shut it down it would be bedlam

If you want to back Blowjob, you can get better than 3/1 on Betfair. Rishi tighter than 2/5 on. The market thinks Sunak is a shoe in. Personally I think he’s a slimy toad, but not demonstrably stupid or insane, and that’s about as much as you can hope for from this lot.
Still think in a functioning democracy, we the people should be asked to vote in a GE, but it looks like that might have to wait.

So now, it looks like Boris has full control of who the next PM is. If he chooses to run, it will surely be him as he is far more popular than Sunak with the members. But he could also pull out of the running, making a deal with Sunak to get a cabinet post, if he doesn't want the job right now.

If it goes to the membership to decide between Johnson (please don’t call him Boris) and Sunak, the lying greased piglet will walk it, and the Tory Party will implode within weeks. Maybe even days.
What would cause said implosion do you think? Do you think it really would trigger mass resignations? Aren't most Tory MPs both too cowardly and too self-serving for that?
His backers are already saying the investigation must be axed if he wins, so the intention is clear.
They won’t win a Commons vote to get it stopped. They already lost a vote to do that when he was PM before.

Said it before - if it goes to the members, there is no way they will vote a man of Indian descent as the leader of the party. Sad thing to think and say in 2022, but also sadly true. I think they forget he was born here (literally here in Southampton General).
