This Tory MP’s story of public support for the PM convinced precisely nobody – and everybody cheered

Although we don’t currently know how many MPs have submitted letters of no confidence in Boris Johnson to the 1922 committee, almost 30 of the required 54 complainants have now gone on record, increasing the likelihood of a vote after the current parliamentary recess.

The Short Straw Brigade have been wheeled out to TV studios to defend the prime minister and insist that the public wishes to move on, but one MP stepped up to the plate with a voluntary ‘Back Boris’ anecdote.

Peter Bone’s claim didn’t contain enough of a ring of truth for some people, and the subsequent roasting was quite the spectacle.

The options in this poll fairly accurately reflected public opinion.

But this poll was a little more official.
