The good thing about the vote of no confidence coming straight after the jubilee is that if the PM goes we still have all the stuff for street parties.

Tell you what though, this has been a *great* jubilee. I had no idea they'd planned these extra celebrations for the working week.

If Tory MPs have any integrity or courage at all, they will get rid of me tonight. Which is why I’m confident that I will win the vote.#NoConfidence #voteofnoconfidence

Boris Johnson got the big calls right, like when he threw the UK into years of hatred and division so that we could change the regulations on hoovers.

Wondering if Boris Johnson loses the vote of no confidence he will still find a way not to resign. What I'm saying is I have no confidence in the vote of no confidence.
