I'm sure if he'd have gone for the vote of the MP's he'd not have won. He also wouldn't have withdrawn from the contest so it would have been decided by members of the Tory party and we know they love him. I wonder what was said to him to stop him contesting the leadership race?
I can't believe he thought it best in the interests of the party or the country in making his decision.

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
I have a incling that more and more relevant commentators (ie not the utter stifling bores on the subject eg me and Owen Jones) are coming out of the woodwork to say exactly how, when and why Brexit was total rubbish.

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
I've just been listening to useless Eustice making his pathetic excusses as to him knowing it was such a bad deal and doing nothing about it,it really was pitiful harkening the blatherings of such a spineless creature!
You know your country is being done up like a kipper in the hands of such an incompetent moron such as Liz Truss and you keep quiet about it,these people are beneath contempt!

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
So Johnson now has a new ability/knowledge
Would you pay to listen to Johnson talk about block-chain? Those who know about it will probably wonder on what basis Johnson is claiming such expertise whilst those who don't know about it would certainly appreciate Johnson knows even less than they do (about block-chain).
And Hancock abandons Parliament and gets paid for external things with a great outcry (and losing the Conservative whip) whereas Johnson disappears off giving lucrative lecture tours and no outcry atall!

With the news Ms Mone is asking for leave of absence until the scandal settles down I was wondering how the HoL will cope without her andJdsk wrote: ↑29 Apr 2022, 2:17pm "Michelle Mone’s home raided as PPE firm linked to Tory peer investigated":

From her Wikipedia pagehttps://www.nationalworld.com/politics/baroness-michelle-mone-has-only-spoken-five-times-in-the-lords-since-2015-but-has-claimed-more-than-ps33000-3944107 wrote:Baroness Michelle Mone has only spoken five times in the Lords since 2015 - but has claimed more than £33,000
So it looks like the biggest looser will be Ms Mone herself, not able to claim those fees.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Mone,_Baroness_Mone#Attendance_in_House_of_Lords wrote:Mone had only attended the House of Lords on 12 % of the days in which it was sitting, missing important debates including on the Brexit bill.[44][29] Her low attendance led MSP Rona Mackay to label her the "Layabout Lady of Mayfair" and businessman Douglas Anderson, who had criticised her original appointment, called for her to resign.

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
Now, with all the PPE purchased from Conservative supporters via a VIP channel, to dispose of iy you wont believe it but another Conservative donor gets a £4.5m contract!
Ianhttps://goodlawproject.org/revealed-tory-donors-company-awarded-4-5-million-government-contract-to-take-care-of-mountain-of-unusable-ppe-waste/ wrote:REVEALED: Tory donor’s company awarded £4.5 million Government contract to take care of mountain of unusable PPE waste
Clipper Logistics – whose boss, Steven Parkin, has donated over £700,000 to the Party’s coffers – was previously awarded a contract worth at least £11 million to distribute PPE, without having to see off any competition.
This latest revelation – buried in thousands of procurement contracts published by the Government in line with its transparency obligations- shines the spotlight on how the Government’s cronies are profiting from both ends of the PPE scandal.
The Government is still spending around £2 million a week to store over 13 billion items of PPE which went unused as they did not meet NHS standards....

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
The often omitted piece of key information about Michelle Mone and standing down from the HoL is that by standing down she doesn't have to declare the financial transactions she needs to implement to cover up her theft of taxpayers money.
If she remains in the HoL all these transactions must be declared
