Tory Rebels Wait for Johnson to ‘Blow Himself Up’

“Rebel Tory MPs are betting that Boris Johnson will ‘blow himself up’ with further scandals over the summer so that the rules protecting him from another confidence vote can be changed to force him from office,” The Guardian reports.

” Under Conservative party rules, Johnson is immune from another vote for 12 months. But the Guardian understands that the 1922 Committee, which oversees such votes, could cut that period to six months, or even less.”
