wakeford to labor the argument goes that this prompted tory mps to band together and rethink their decision to try and unseat their leader there have also been reports that the tory whips blackmailed rebellious mps specifically by refusing to give necessary funds to constituencies a number of members of parliament have faced pressures and intimidation from members of the government because of their declared or assumed desire for a vote of confidence in the party leadership of the prime minister in threatening to withdraw investments for members of parliament's constituencies which are funded from the public purse encouraging the publication of stories in the press seeking to embarrass those who they suspect of lacking confidence in the prime minister is similarly unacceptable while some mps may have seen this as the last straw like wakeford others may have felt beaten into submission at the time of writing the letter threshold has still not been met and any momentum has slowed hugely right now it seems that the most likely time for tories to start handing their letters back into brady will be after sue gray's report is published it all depends though on what the outcome is as we mentioned earlier grey's decided to include cummings in the investigation which is likely bad news for the prime minister for the last few weeks he's posted updates on his sub stack which claimed that johnson did have prior knowledge about the parties and was warned that they would break the rules the fact that his point of view will be considered increases the potential damage of the report to johnson if the report is damaging and it shows that johnson broke the law and or misled parliament then there's a good chance that the rebellion's momentum will pick back up and the NUMBER_TOKEN-letter threshold could be breached if this happens then there's a vote of no confidence held by tory mps if more than NUMBER_TOKEN percent of them vote against johnson then this triggers a leadership election in which johnson isn't allowed to run but even if less than NUMBER_TOKEN percent vote against johnson and he survives this is still probably the end for johnson once a substantial fraction of your party has expressed no confidence in you then you're usually living on borrowed time this is what happened to theresa may in december NUMBER_TOKEN. she survived the no-confidence vote with NUMBER_TOKEN percent of conservative mps supporting her but everyone knew that this was the end for her and she julie resigned in may NUMBER_TOKEN after coming fifth in the european elections the point we're making is that while johnson could hypothetically survive the confidence vote if it was to happen leaders rarely recover from that sort of thing but what do you think will the NUMBER_TOKEN-letter threshold be met in the next few days or has johnson survived by the skin of his teeth as always let us know your thoughts in the comments below people across the uk have been furious about the parties held at number NUMBER_TOKEN. we were locked at home and not allowed to see loved ones while they partied so if you want to remember the parties we missed and get money to those in need of covert support then check out our number NUMBER_TOKEN parties tour shirt and posters they feature all the parties that we know about so far and hopefully look pretty cool too the links in the description and NUMBER_TOKEN of the profits go to the national emergencies trust covered appeal which helps those in the uk whose lives were affected during the pandemic thanks for your support as always be sure to subscribe to the channel and hit
