Guido Fawkes: Reports the following in its 7.04pm post, " Talk about getting the tone wrong: Guido’s been informed by a Johnson loyalist that following the resignations of both Rishi and Sajid he told a meeting of 80-or-so colleagues:....‘I know you’re all avidly in favour of tax cuts and tonight’s events might make that a bit easier to deliver.”....Said loyalist also pointedly tells Guido that Rishi and Sajid went “straight to the press and not informing the PM” "
Lets Get Real:
Thus the PM comes out swinging, he blames the former Chancellor for opposing TAX CUTS, will the Conservative back MPs really fall for that political gimmick, one doubts, if they have a leadership contest then the candidates can promise what they want, and the MPs get free TV coverage of the different policies. On the other hand, it depends who the PM appoints as his new Chancellor, will it be someone who can stand up to the PM or just do what he or she is told. One would love to be a fly on the wall in the House of Commons, the MPs will wonder how to jump, do they force the PM out over the night or do they wait for things to calm down. Also TAX CUTS always go down well with the voters. It must be stated, the PM is a fighter, but even his political luck was bound to fail sooner or later, one can postulate that the PM will be OUT within hours.
