Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "Who will be the Conservative sacrificial lamb tomorrow doing the rounds of the tv studios, my vote would be Grant Shapps.'"
Dead duck or gone, it's a win / win
I had to smile at JRM and his reaction to the vote.
It was worse than the Teresa May vote of confidence and yet, when he wanted her out (and Boris in), her result meant that "she had to go" and now, with more discontent within the Parliamentary Tory party, it's an "emphatic result". oops
Maybe he's using some old school imperial measurement of success now
