The end is nigh. Maybe

I am asked by my boss and colleagues, from Denmark, most weeks when we will ditch the Prime Minister.

I would love to tell them of the revolution and heads on pikes, but its not that simple.

Only the Parliamentary Conservative Party can remove the PM. First by 54 letters of no confidence having been sent to the chairman of the 1922 backbencher's committee, and then a full vote of all MPs.

This week has seen an increase in those MPs willing to say publically that they have submitted a letter, that number seems to be around 44. But the 1922 Committee seems to have indicated that revealing the numbers will wait until after the Jubilee weekend and when Parliament sits again next week.

Then there is the question of if Johnson is removed, who will take over?

With all data on the country and economy heading southwards, if someone were to take over, it would be just to the next election when Labour or a coailition probably would win.

Problems are legion, with most stemming from Government policy, no matter how hard Johnson and co try to blame the EU, COVID, or wherever.

Interesting times. Perhaps.
