Apparently was seriously losing his cool with Mark Harper in the MPs meeting. "Aggressively disagreed" according to the BBC, which means effing and blinding. Happy funtime Boris seems to be a thing of the past.

There were no cameras around,

Happy Funtime Boris is the act. Alexander Johnson is the spiteful, vain, short-tempered reality beneath the deliberately dishevelled blubbery buffoon veneer.

Oh yes, I know that. Just interesting he's not even bothering to hide it.

He knew that this was coming, all throughout the weekend. Booing aside, he was already marked.

Is there a PMQs this week? I'd love Starmer to get under his skin just enough to cause a full-on meltdown in the Commons - although I doubt Limp Lindsay would admonish him if he did.

211 to 148 in his favour.

359 ballots, none spoiled.

That is *awful*. Proper dead man walking territory now.

I'm waiting for the Nadine Dorries Horror Show now: I've had enough of my accounts for one night.

Yeesh. Saw that Gehenna Mitford-Davidson had turned against him. He be fucked.

The dream result for Labour. Can’t wait for the new Tory civil war of stupid.

Errr.... careful what you wish for. They can put a lot of stupid through the house in 12 months.

And those 148 will vote for it. They're still Tories.

The Tories right now...

My MP was backing Johnson. Given that the Tory vote outside the posh end of town seemed to stay at home last month, this could be interesting.

They could…but they’ll also now be wanting to distance themselves from Johnson and his cabinet’s horrendously awful and unpopular policies and show themselves willing to rebel. Policies he’s now powerless to push back against as he can’t afford to lose cabinet support. It’s paralysis now.

I wonder which poor sap will be sent to all the news programmes in the morning to push the line that Johnson did well and we now need to draw a line under everything.

Patel.

Seems like some of the discussion in the media is getting ahead of itself.

Mrs Thatcher had Hestletine to contend with going forward. By resigning, she got a shot at a successor more to her taste. Theresa May had no majority and her opponents could rally around opposing her deal.

Johnson isn't going to lose too many votes in the Commons. What'll do for him is polls. Unfortunately for him the stuff he wins votes on may not be very popular.
