Today, Labour is laying a vote of no confidence in this caretaker Prime Minister and his government.

The Tory party has at last concluded that the Prime Minister is unfit for office – that was blindingly obvious a very, very long time ago. He is leaving because his own party has concluded that he can’t be trusted.

Boris Johnson thinks he can squat in Downing Street when effectively nothing in Government is going to happen. Since the Tories have failed to act in the national interest, Labour will.

We have put down a vote of no confidence and challenged any Tory MP who in the last few days has said “I can’t serve Boris Johnson because you can’t trust a word the man says” to back up their rhetoric with action.

Let’s see what the Tories do later today because the only way of getting Boris Johnson out of Number 10 is with the support of Conservative MPs, who up until recently didn’t seem to have anything like the backbone required to do the right thing.
