It is now crystal clear that our Prime Minster, Boris Johnson, who is already an incompetent buffoon, and total stranger to the truth is being held hostage by different groups in the Conservative Party, many of which are in denial of science.🧵

Here's a useful guide to some of these Conservative Party groups/factions by at @peterwalker99 . I'd be generous calling a lot of them cranks, in denial of science and evidence.

In the Conservative Party, if a certain amount of letters are sent to the 1922 Committee, it's 54, there will be an official leadership challenge. As is clear from the list of groups above, they're big enough to trigger a challenge to Johnson's leadership.

Because of the amount of self-inflicted scandals and shambolic positions, which have led to Boris Johnson becoming seriously unpopular he may have to concede to demands from these Tory factions, simply to cling to his leadership of the party.

This is a very dangerous situation, because were are in a time when we need good leadership. Yet we have a very weakened and compromised PM, pandering to minority groups in the Conservative Party, who have positions contrary to the public and national interest.
