Not true-the govt can request the speaker to recall Parliament.
 

Does not have to be a specific request from the pm.

 

Not that it matters though as johnson-inept and ineffective as he is- is still pm.

They can’t do anything if they are all away on holiday at annual recess time. 
The left and press should have thought about before forcing them into a corner.

If you want to refer to the CON party as a "baying mob", then knock yourself out. The media were not in a position to oust him, neither was anyone to the left of politics. He has overwhelming support round the country after all, as you claim.

Only his own party could oust him, which they did. Due to his lies, corruption and incompetence. 

Even parliamentary party members were subjected to the howls of the left and MSM baying mob.

There is only Johnson and his appalling conduct to blame. He brought it all upon himself. 

He IS a repellent human being. 

We still have the baying mob to blame.  You all brought this on while Boris and the government were supposed to be doing their jobs, not running to the tune of the press.

Still Prime Minister. And receiving the salary, so yes one CAN blame him. He ought to be ashamed, scrounging from the taxpayer like this.

There’s only the baying mob to blame. 
The type of people who liked to publish things like “he’s a repellent human being” or worse.

Then recall the lazy gits. They get far too much time off.

Sorry, we need a PM to make the recall. Now where’s Boris after being ousted? Can’t blame him really.

Do you believe everything that is published in polls?

why the taxpayer is stumping up 13 Grand this month to pay him to sit around and scratch his balls, well, yes, that does vex me. He should hand over to Raab now and stop squatting in No. 10.

They are all on recess. Those of you in the baying mob should have thought about that.

More people voted for other parties than voted CON. That's First Past The Post for you...

We had a referendum about that too. We have kept first past the post because more people voted for it.

What popularity?

Landslide.  Did you miss the general election?

Which exists only in your imagination. He was ousted by his own party, due to his lies, corruption and incompetence. It's all on him. Quit attempting to canonise him. He is a repellent human being. 

You maybe missed the news over the past two years.  
Now you collectively have your prize. What are you going to do? There’s nothing you can you because the government is still Tory. Speculation about who will be the next PM, while there has been a crisis brewing. Now you can see the crisis, you are still trying to pin it on Boris for not being here. 
Sorry but he’s gone. Are you leaving for warmer winter climes? It’s gonna be a cold cold Christmas without Boris.

It was a uk wide vote. London probably voted Remain in isolation. It's irrelevant.

Definitely irrelevant to the Brexit situation, but actually very relevant to the situation the same Remainers Leftists and MSM are wailing about now. They were so intent on their Boris witch-hunt that they ignored all the economic and world political situation going on around us. While there were important matters for the government to attend to, the London centric mob was still baying for Boris’s blood. 
Only now they have his head on a stick do they realise that their engineering of the undemocratic ousting of the PM has left the country rudderless. Let’s hope London freezes this winter while the rest of the county has to suffer also for the Southern Remainers folly. 

Come back Boris pleeese. 
Our country needs you. 
The party membership and majority of voters want you. 
The alternatives on both sides have no idea. 
The anti-Boris anti-Tory anti-UK anti-pasti posters here won’t have anyone to demonise anymore.

Who is "They" ?

“They” were the back stabbers in the Parliamentary Conservative party. Turncoats and opportunists. Sunak had his plan started months before Boris bailed. Even after their vote of confidence some were still plotting. Had it been up to the rank & file members Boris would still be sitting pretty. 

45 minutes ago, Mac Mickmanus said:

That isnt a fact at all .

A fact is that Boris resigned as P.M. 

Boris Jonson resigned as Prime Minister 

A couple of years of leftist and media hounding and smears. No wonder they started to bail and get the knives sharpened for back stabbing.

Well, to vote you have to pay 25 quid to be a member. So I doubt that many people struggling financially will get much of a say in who the next PM will be.

They all had a say at the last GE and voted for Boris in a landslide victory. 
Now that the left and MSM have undemocratically ousted him only Tory members get a say, and the majority of them would vote for Boris again.

Must put a sarcasm alert on more posts. 
 

My nationality is none of your concern, so enough of the “foreign influence “ hyperbolic BS. 

There must be a Guardian link somewhere that waffles on about foreign influences and undue interest in the Conservative Party members vote for their leader?

I think a Troll alert would be more appropriate given some of the comments in this thread, don't you agree ?

Some serious pots calling kettles going on today. Pity I missed it.

Let's see what the electorate thinks at the next election.

I seem to remember similar statements at the last election, all backed up with links to polls and Garuniad predictions.

must have been the straw that broke the camel's back so far as his parliamentary colleagues were concerned

The straw that broke the camel’s back was the coordinated resignation of Sunak and Javid. As Boris might have said “Et tu Rishi?”

addressing your comment to Loiner and others, who insist on repeating the falsehood

You may have missed the media circus while pontificating from afar about Boris your current object of hate. We saw it all, in every medium possible, incessantly I’ll bet you only ever read the Garuniad reports about him.

Will you condemn the Mail's "Witchunt

Yes. Why wouldn’t I? They were also part of the frenzied witch hunt.

28 minutes ago, RayC said:

Then blame the Conservative Parliamentary party for Johnson's demise, not the media.

Without the constant media hyperbole and barrage for comment, opinion and “What are you going to do about it, aren’t you going to resign?” none of the parliamentary party would have done anything at all.

Unless they wanted the top job maybe?

There was no media frenzy.

Oh yes there was. There still is one about the next PM.
