“Now some of them are trying to coordinate a last minute rush of letters of no confidence to Sir Graham Brady, on the grounds that perhaps he could be removed before Parliament is prorogued.”

“Upset” Conservatives MPs are trying to stop a general election by booting out Sunak before the end of the week, says The Times’s Red Box editor Lara Spirit.

    Every single one of them needs to never set foot in Westminster ever again after what they have done to this Country

    Shameful. They’re only after an additional 6 months of MP income. How about putting the country first?
  • @Geffo555
    A farcical end to an abysmal government. Fitting I guess.

    Shambles right up to the last minute...

    Vote out to help out. They are all worried about losing their parliament expenses accounts. Richy nutsak is off to LA for the start of the new school term.

    The ones who are bleating are worried about losing their MP income.
  • A situation for which the phrase "headless chickens" was designed. The Tories really are a right shower.

    Can you imagine if they removed him to postpone the election? It could bring people out to the streets but it would definitely put the last nail in the Tory coffin.

    Roll on Independence Day, when we can chuck out the idiots who rule us.
  • Just to prove the Tories are stupider than mince they put in letters of no confidence, thinking this will stop the election 😂😂😂
  • @Joe-og6br
    What do they expect to happen? The new leader to go back to the King and ask to undo the election 😂😂😂
