British Prime Minister Boris Johnson may face the most difficult challenge of his administration as his party appears to have had enough of his tenure and might look to start the process to remove him as party leader.

The Conservative Party requires 54 letters of no confidence to trigger a secret vote over party leadership. The Times in the U.K. reported that one rebel minister believes the total has reached 67 letters, meaning the vote will occur, likely this week.

The full count will occur Monday morning, but party backbenchers have supposedly already designated Wednesday as the day to hold the leadership vote.

Boris needs to get his uncivilized hair under control if he is ever to be serious about being a leader of Western Civilization.

Conservatives are the libtards in Europe

The left are the commies

That is how it works in Europe

Conservative in Europe is a different philosophy then conservative in America

The UK got out of the EU on the EU’s terms, thanks to pro-EU Theresa May; that’s bad enough.

Yes.

Recently he has done good things. Which is why they want to replace him now.

Boris Johnson once said that “After Trump, Biden is like a breath of fresh air.”

So screw him.

No, the Tories did poorly in the local elections, have lost winnable by-elections for vacant seats in the Commons, and he flouted his own Covid rules during “partygate”.

The 1922 Committee is composed of all of the Backbench Conservative MPs. It doesn’t answer to the Government and has toppled Prime Ministers before.

The idea doesn’t exist on their political spectrum

What are they trying to preserve? Their stupid monarchy/parliament?

Their rights is granted by their monarchy and government. Conservatives over there are preserving that power structure

They all can screw off, if you ask me
