Sunak did announce that johnson would not be eligible for reselection by his party, so the only way he could return to parliament would be through standing as an independent or for another right wing party.

As that would mean that he would never advance from the back benches I don't think that would be good enough for his ego to cope with.

of course that could all change is the tories were to abandon Sunak.

What would be important is that if he is every re-elected to the house of commons the 90 day sanction would still apply, so effectively whatever constituency they would be unrepresented for quite a long time.

I will be listening, with interest, how tory MPs will vote on the report.

Those who vote for it risk alienating the extreme right factions, not just in the house, but also in their local membership who no doubt still adore johnson.

Those who vote against would be seen as wanting to uphold their right to use their power in anyway they see fit and not be held accountable for abusing their privileged position.

Abstaining would come across as having no interest whatsoever in the conduct of MPs and ministers which would be just as bad as voting against the report.
