There has been an escalation of events over the last few days. Sue Gray defecting to Labour. Privileges Committee releasing documents and further photos. Timing is everything! 1/5
I suspect the escalation is because the "Windsor Framework" on Northern Ireland is falling apart and is a death knell for #rishisunak.
If I am right then Rishi will not last long which will pave the way for a Boris return. 2/5
The escalation by Labour is to block a #borisjohnson return before the "Windsor Framework" collapses.
The Privileges Committee is the lever to block a Boris return. 3/5
It is a political show trial designed to remove the biggest threat to Keir Starmer and a Labour Government, namely Boris Johnson. 4/5
It is anti-democratic and a disgraceful abuse of justice and the rule of law by Parliament against a democratically elected Prime Minister and the people of the United Kingdom. 5/5

It's pretty clear that #borisjohnson was stitched up over Partygate and removed from office because of it. Boris was a democratically elected Prime Minister, winning 43 percent of the popular vote and an eighty-seat majority. Boris was the electorate's choice. 1/5
The question is what happens now because if there was no stitch-up then #borisjohnson would still be Prime Minister, and there would be no "Windsor Framework" and other important bills, Government would look different. 2/5
Conservative MPs including #rishisunak should immediately call an emergency meeting to decide whether they have the mandate to lead the country after the forced and fraudulent removal of our elected Prime Minister 3/5

Boris Johnson to reject "Northern Ireland Windsor Framework"
#borisjohnson has raised concerns about #rishisunak's new Brexit deal for Northern Ireland and said he will find it "very difficult" to vote for it.
1/6
In a Westminster speech, the former Prime Minister said "I'm going to find it very difficult to vote for something like this myself because I believed we should've done something very different. No matter how much plaster came off the ceiling in Brussels
2/6
"I hope that it will work and I also hope that if it doesn't work we will have the guts to employ that (Northern Ireland Protocol) bill again because I have no doubt at all that is what brought the EU to negotiate seriously" 3/6

Three Prime Ministers in one year with #ConservativeParty members effectively disenfranchised from the process. Having voted for #borisjohnson and #liztruss we now have a Prime Minister rejected by members. 1/13
#democraticDOR is not against who leads our party so long as the members have their vote and endorse our leader. Any leader of our party needs the support of our membership. But it's not just a request it is our constitutional right! 2/13
Because that was what was promised by the William Hague reforms, which members backed and voted for! 3/13

#sunak & Co aren't even subtle about what they're doing, they think it's in the bag because they live in the bubble.

1. PARTY: They will render impotent, the Conservative Post petition - Sunak is already creating his own chosen member stooges to head it off at Conference
2. ECONOMY: #sunak said "profound economic crisis" setting the crisis in motion - even though that's patently not the case! This was supported by the useless OBR but worse, the Bank of England.
3. DISTRATION PR: They're currently sending up loads of kites - the Steve Barclay announcement about NHS penpushers this morning - which are clearly just distractions.

I have just returned from a three-week business trip to the Far East, taking in Singapore, Sydney, and Dubai.
It was my first business trip in three years due to the Covid-19 lockdowns. Whilst I was away, there was a change of Prime Ministers, which was done without the members
of the Conservative Party having a vote.
The Conservative Parliamentary Party anointed a new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor, this is despite both candidates being rejected quite recently in leadership campaigns by the members of the Conservative Party.
In Jeremy Hunt’s case, twice, when he faced off against Boris Johnson in 2019 and then when he was the first to be rejected by MPs in the Liz Truss victory, as was Rishi Sunak.

When #borisjohnson became an MP in 2001, he was the highest-earning MP in Westminster, through journalism, public speaking, and book publishing.
It is reputed he was making over £1million per annum, without breaking a sweat. 1/6
He is a multiple best seller, and later this year he will publish his book on Shakespeare, which will immediately become a best seller in the U.K and U.S.A. If #borisjohnson chooses to, he can rake in millions by going on a book tour of the U.S.A. 2/6
Just before Boris was forced out as UK Prime Minister, he was voted the World’s most popular leader!

It is wrong for the Conservative Party to assume that Boris wants to come back into politics just because they are collapsing in the polls. 3/6
