Johnson's Downing Street considering an aggressive move to protect their short term interests without considering how it plays out even one step down the line? Stop me if you've heard this one before...

This wizard scheme comes to you courtesy of the same people who managed to engineer an entirely avoidable by-election last autmn by trying and failing to abolish the standards committee in order to protect an MP who then resigned
This magic ruse comes via the ten dimensional chess players who tried and failed to unseat the mildly critical chair of the 1922 committee, thus making an enemy of the man charged with the process of confidence votes in the PM
This genius gambit delivered by the grandmaster strategists who tried and failed to get Chris Grayling elected as a friendly Intelligence Committee chair, and tried repeatedly, and failed repeatedly, to get Paul Dacre appointed as head of OfCom.
All of these failures came when Johnson was a popular PM with a lot of political capital. Just imagine what the team can achieve now their boss's popularity and political authority has collapsed!
