, having said last month he did not wish to involve Her Majesty in the sordid business of Brexit, has claimed it could soon be time for the Queen to kick out the PM – if he defies a no-confidence vote.“He would have to resign … if he didn’t resign and there was an alternative government presented which had the support of the House of Commons, in extremis the Queen would have to sack him,” he told Channel 4 News.

That would be the end of the monarchy! Monarchy against the democratic mandate of the EU Referendum and Parliament (who made leaving EU / 'no deal' an Act of Parliament and the law).

How silly, of course she wouldn't!

Queen sacked the Whitlam government. Of course they were progressive. She wouldn’t sack a conservative

The United Kingdom has now become a Democracy In Name Only! And Westkremlinster has now become the Home Of Tyrants! Vote the brexitparty_uk Thank You!

Dang Borris couldn't last a week lol.. Go back to letting influential women lead over there.. Seemed to work for the past 100 years.. Til Farage and Mr. Boris.. Who looks like he'd be at home in a Rocky & Bullwinkle comic as a villian..

So be it

MalcolmFincken He’s no rebel. He’s mister sensible

The Queen sacked an Australian PM in 1975 when he lost his majority by 1 seat. But it wont be the Queen per se that does the terminating. 800 advisors on the Privy Council will make that choice and upholding the law will be their prime consideration

It's a fair point. If HMQ has a chief minister who demonstrably no longer has the confidence of the HouseofCommons, what option is there other than to demand the return of the seals of office and seek another, more appropriate, candidate? But we are *so* far into hypothesis now.

What I would give to see that! Can we ask for it to be televised?!

does she whack him with the same sword as she creates knights with as she sacks him...will TV film the sacking?

LOL....so it's ok for the remoaners to 'drag the Queen into politics'....but not the leavers

Fair

Remainers hatch plot calling on Queen to sack Boris Johnson if he defies vote of confidenceRemainers are plotting to drag the Queen into a political crisis by demanding that she sack Boris Johnson if he refuses to step down in the event he loses a confidence vote in Parliament. Unconstitutional, and she’ll never be drawn into their trap. I'm sure The Queens priority will be keeping The Union together at all cost. General Election is the way 4ward. ‘Remainers hatch plot’! It’s Johnson who is hatching one of the biggest plots in UK history if he defies a vote of no confidence by Parliament. It will be the Queen’s constitutional duty to ask Johnson to resign if he loses a vote of confidence.
