I think most streets will keep the bunting up just in case he loses though!

Think you might be right.

Although I saw one report over the weekend that even if he wins it some Tory MP's will withdraw their support during votes to make it impossible for him to carry on

Re: Vote of Cofidence in Boris Johnson tinight

very short notice for a vote, presumably plenty of Tories will be away in their constituencies still and will have to arrange a proxy vote - not sure how you do that in a secret ballot, how do you know that they voted the way you wanted

He doesn't have to lose though. Yes it needs 180 no votes to trigger a leadership election, but Theresa May lasted 6 months even though she didn't lose the vote of no confidence against her. Its how long Boris can continue knowing that x% of his own MPs don't want him there. In May's case it was 35%.

Johnson is not Theresa May though
