  • But they would have passed up on the chance to hammer a huge rump of MPs for the hypocrisy if voting for/supporting Johnson despite all the resignations due the man’s lack of integrity and serial dishonesty.

    This way, they can say that the government are so scared that they weren’t even prepared to put it to debate and a vote - with an 80 seat majority, why are they frit?

    Then again, what do I know 🤷‍♂️

    They deliberately formulated a motion that the government wasn't required* to accept. Therefore, they knew from the start that it would never go anywhere. Feels like they were scared that the Tory party would manage to pull together having carried out the coup.

    '*by convention (and we all know how this gov't treats convention)

    Despite no tangible evidence, I’m sticking with the line that it could have exposed the MPs who, despite their colleagues publicly denouncing the lying and lack of integrity, clung on to Johnson.

    I guess we’ll never know
