One thing baffling me is most lads on here say he’s in the money mens pockets, and so it seems, but I don’t get if he’s going to get booted into oblivion the next election, how is this scenario helping him?

It does make you wonder if the no confidence vote was badly timed. If it was this month rather than last, would he have the same support following 2 by-election defeats and now this scandal to add on to everything else?
I’m not having a go at any particular politician Rooch, because it happens on all sides of the political spectrum, but Just look at the number of ex MP’s who are well paid directors of companies they lobbied for in their previous lives in parliament.
As demonstrated by the fortunes of this ex Labour MP but it happens too often to be coincidence.

The theory at the time was to leave him in situ to take the flak that was, and still is coming then change the leader closer to the next election. Elevate him to the other house, pick another meaningless slogan for the gullible, and bingo.
Well for the money men - if they can use his majority to get their plans through maybe it’s a price worth paying. Is it Shell have made something like 7bn more now than the same time last year ?
The only people dafter than him are those conspiring in his own party to shift him. One of whom will replace him.
The people who elected him are more stupid
According to conspiracy theories The Liar arranged for the letters of no confidence to trigger the vote before the by-elections... love out like this me
Not sure mate , I think it could be e-on I know they have made a fortune.
Then again, I wouldn’t want to be in a opposition to take over either, rather just collect my wedge and stay as a nobody.
Whatever you thought of Corbyn, I struggle to see what he could have done to this country that would have been worse than it's currently being run.
Imagine Corbyn and Ukrain in the same sentence, it would be called Russia now.
I generally support Labour, but for me Corbyn was toxic. Just as now Bonko is toxic for the Tories.
I'm now at the point where I've gone totally spiteful.
I want Johnson to stay exactly where he is. He now knows he's finished and is just an indefensible figure of ridicule.
Whatever legacy he though he was creating is being destroyed. The public will put up with lots of things but they don't like being taken for mugs. Johnson thought he could fool all of the people all of the time but he's the one looking like the mug now.
It's the modern day equivalent of the stocks ...
... pass me those rotten tomatoes
See, that's a throw away comment without any substance. How has the current government saved Ukraine and how and why would Corbyn have destroyed the Ukrainian resistance?
I'm not saying he was the right person to lead the country, but at this point the "but Corbyn" argument is in bits because it's really hard to see legitimately how he would have done anything worse.

That's usually where I get too quite early.
I'm trying to stay a bit more objective these days, but it's really hard to see anything but a disaster in charge right now.I think the upside of him staying where he is, is that he's becoming so toxic that he'll take a lot of his allies down with him (Patel, Dorries, Raab) which should lead to a Labour government and a more respectable Conservative opposition. I'd still rather he went now though, I think the next couple of years is going to be panful for a lot of people under his leadership.
No you are right it’s just guess work, but do you remember when not one Sunderland fan wanted Parkinson with no evidence he would do bad. Well the general public had the same evidence on Corbyn and that’s why they were annihilated in the election
I’m sure he won’t last a couple of years, I’ll give him a couple of months.That's usually where I get too quite early.

Boris man! Stop constantly acting like a schoolkid would when caught pinching penny chews from the school tuck shop and just go!
