The thing is Boris wont resign even if his career looks in tatters he will cling to power until the very end. He cares much more for himself and his own power then he does for any supposed values good of the party or good of the country.
There has already been a vote of confidence which he won not by much so there cannot be now until some time in 2023 I believe.
I cannot see the Torys winning another election with Bojo at the helm the way things currently are who knows though.
by all accounts at this point is position is untenable but its impossible to fire him and he will not resign.

I genuinely do not know where this leads now.
The way it always happens.
Rules get rewritten. He agrees to go, but only after a deal is done whereby he can trouser far more cash than he could while PM. The 1922 Committee intend to have the rules rewritten by next Monday, and will then show this to Boris, show him the projections, and tell him to go away.
His best card was that he was the Tories best hope of winning the next election. But now the Tories will consider that giving a new person time to prepare the way to fight the next election afresh (while, yet again, being an unelected Tory PM) looks better.
Given the choice between leaving and able to earn large amounts of cash, and leave as an embarrassment, he will choose the former. He just needs to be shown those are the only 2 options.
As an outsider looking in at what the real politicians are doing, Boris can be entertaining. But when he is asked to actually lead, rather than be the sideshow, he lacks ability. His performance at PMQs today was just embarrassing.
'Carrie with the iron frantically steaming off the gold wallpaper and stuffing it in an overnight bag': Internet jokers see the funny side with Boris Johnson on the brink of being forced out of Number 10
Amid speculation that Mr Johnson's time in Number 10 could soon be coming to an end, dozens of memes making light of the situation were posted on Twitter. One made reference to the Prime Minister's wife Carrie Johnson and the expensive and controversial refurbishment of the Downing Street flat by designer Lulu Lytle. The tweet read: 'Carrie with the iron frantically steaming off the gold wallpaper and stuffing it into an overnight bag.' Another mentioned horror film Jaws (top left), saying 'the Cabinet is open and everyone is having a wonderful time'. A third (top right) jokingly quoted Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky, depicting him as saying: 'The thing is Boris, you have visited quite a few times already'. It was making reference to previous visits to Kyiv by Mr Johnson which have coincided with domestic criticism of the PM, sparking claims that the trips were attempts to distract from the bad press. Another meme (bottom left) riffed on Mr Johnson's famous Brexit slogan, saying 'Get Exit Done' above a photo of the PM walking out of Number 10. A fifth (bottom right) showed an illustration of the sinking Titanic and said: 'Live scenes from Downing St'.
The most worrying of those stats for Boris is the last one. Bookies are no fools, as they genuinely put their money where their mouth is. They clearly believe that, whoever the next Leader of the Tories is, that unknown person is as likely to win the next election as Boris. Which spells doom for Boris.
Incidentally, this is one occasion where I disagree with the bookies. It has to be likely that the Tories are going to have a nasty leadership campaign, with different factions causing damage.
That, coupled with the recent reputational damage, the cost of living crisis and inflation means that (IMHO) Labour should be favourites to get the most seats at the next election at the moment.

if you disagree with the bookies why not put a bet down and make a potential profit?
An open secret that as long ago as yesterday, he told Boris to promote him to Chancellor, or he would quit.
Today, he is leading a delegation of "loyalists", including Brandon Lewis and Grant Shapps, demanding that he quit. And briefing the Press exactly what they are doing.

A big black eye (from the outside looking in) for Boris.

What's the betting that Bilderberg attendees Michael Gove and David Lammy, are the next two leaders of the democratic illusion?
"Build Back Better"
Take Nadhim Zadawi, for example.
An open secret that as long ago as yesterday, he told Boris to promote him to Chancellor, or he would quit.
Today, he is leading a delegation of "loyalists", including Brandon Lewis and Grant Shapps, demanding that he quit. And briefing the Press exactly what they are doing.
The Nasty Party. In action.
