Increasingly clear Boris Johnson will not go tonight. Or even tomorrow. Looks like the new 1922 committee will change the rules and there will be another confidence vote next week. Which Mr Johnson will lose. Lose badly. Then it will be over. Cue summer leadership contest.

As the PM tells ministers only he can defeat Labour, is there a method in this latest bout of madness.
'Trump’s own betrayal narrative is fuelling a comeback..
Johnson will certainly have a core of ardent loyalists who say, like Thatcher, he was never defeated at the ballot box'

Tonight feels like Johnson's Ardennes Offensive but it won't delay things months, maybe days.

With Dorries, Rees-Mogg, & other loyalists playing Model, Von Rundstedt, Dietrich, et al.

Although the Battle of Berlin with Johnson in his bunker may be the more elegant comparison.

Tonight, Boris Johnson has turned to “The Sampson Option”, pulling down the institutions and conventions which have governed British politics for more than a century. Utterly selfish and irresponsible conduct. And he’s supposed to be a Conservative!
