TWITTER users have no doubts that those at the Platinum Jubilee thanks giving service who booed prime minister Boris Johnson were right to do…

Queen’s thanksgiving service: Boos and jeers for Boris Johnson outside St Paul’s.” It was the duty of every Royalist to openly disapprove of anyone who lies to Her Majesty and mislead Her Sovereign Parliament. He should have been on his way to Tower Hill” And among the comments from those who shared the question a number highlighted that a lockdown-busting party was held in Downing Street, on the eve of the funeral of the Queen’s husband, Prince Philip, last year. Almost immediately as the booing was reported on Friday it was noted that the demographic of the crowd which is likely to attend a thanksgiving service for the Queen is unlikely to be typically left wing. But of the more than 2,000 replies to the tweet, and 150 quote tweets by those who shared the question while adding their own comments, it seemed the vast majority had no dispute with the booing. On Twitter on Friday we asked, via our account, “was it right for members of the crowd to boo”? It should be noted the booing took place outside the church but with convention normally treating the Royals as above, or outside, the political realm some may have thought opinions on the prime minister should have been saved for another day, occasion or place.

Asked about a court challenge facing the Met’s partygate probe, Mr Khan added: “What we don’t want is the perception to be given that it is one rule for them, the rule-makers, and one rule for the rest of us. Asked if the Prime Minister will “be out” if the Conservatives lose both seats, Mr Shapps said: “No. Look … when it comes to a general election people look at Government and they look at it in the round, they look at what you’ve done.” “I accept it does look odd in relation to the photographs we’ve now seen, in relation to the knowledge we now have of who received a fixed-penalty notice and who didn’t,” Mr Khan told the BBC’s Sunday Morning programme. A survey of voters in the battleground constituency of Wakefield who will go to the polls on June 23 to elect a new MP has suggested the Tories could lose the by-election by as much as 20 points.

The prime minister is facing a difficult week in which a vote on his leadership could be called, followed by two crucial byelections.

A leadership contest would get under way over the summer to find a new Tory leader and prime minister. If the vote takes place after the 23 June byelections, however, and the Tories are hammered in both, MPs believe he would have a much harder struggle, as his newfound electoral toxicity would have been exposed. If it does, then Johnson has a good chance of winning (by gaining a majority of the 359 Tory MPs), in which case he can carry on as prime minister.

The Transport Secretary also dismissed people booing the Prime Minister, saying 'politicians don't expect to be popular all the time'.

Even if Boris Johnson survives a probable confidence vote next week, some Tories fear he would not win the next election.

The expectation amongst MPs is that if there is a vote next week Johnson ought to easily win it. A vote exposes the level of opposition to the leader. But there is debate amongst ministers and MPs as to what the benchmark of success ought to be. They take the view that a confidence vote is fraught with difficulties and even if a prime minister wins, it tends to be a net negative for any leader. What is clear, however, is that since the publication of Sue Gray’s report into “Partygate”, there has been a change in the mood in the Tory party against Johnson. In the hours that followed, May and her supporters tried to put a positive spin on things.

The rebels would need 180 voters to remove the Prime Minister from Number 10.

His comments come after he wrote to Scotland Yard asking for “a more detailed and formal explanation” of how decisions were made during the Operation Hillman inquiry. I’ve just seen the one photograph we saw in relation to Boris Johnson raising his glass – clearly a party atmosphere. Under Conservative Party rules, if 54 letters of no confidence in Mr Johnson’s premiership are submitted to Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 Committee of backbench Tories, then a leadership vote will be held. James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners and a former Downing Street pollster during Theresa May’s tenure, said the so-called partygate saga looked to have damaged the Tory reputation among Red Wall voters. A by-election will be held on the same day in Tiverton and Honiton, which was called after Tory MP Neil Parish resigned over his viewing of pornography in the Commons. Grant Shapps, Transport Secretary and MP for Welwyn Hatfield, says he does not believe Boris Johnson will face a confidence vote this week but backs the Prime Minister to win if there was one.

Frankly, I think demonstrates one of the beauties of our system.” It’s also the point of having a monarchy, where everyone can join together and support the Queen regardless of their politics. “Also that feeling that he is strong and can get things done has gone.

It’s not the end of days, but more like the prelude to the end of days.” The thing about politicians is that they are much more emotional than the public thinks.” If it’s not now, then after the by-elections. I told them to give their letters to me, and I’ll gladly hand them over.” The senior source told i: “I’ve had several from the 2019 intake come to me saying they’ve been too afraid to submit a letter in case the whips find out and begin intimidating them.
