Bye-bye Boris

Reports are suggesting the British Prime Minister is about to face a no-confidence vote from his own party.

Even if these reports are premature, I really can't see him surviving this. There is a police investigation into "Partygate" and council elections coming up in May. The Conservatives will do badly in those. In addition, his former friends in the media are all gunning for him. It's a question of either weeks or months.

I think there's a good chance he would win a no confidence vote, unless the Sue Gray report is really bad or police start charging people.

@SW-User I'd predict he would narrowly lose it. A lot would abstain but Johnson's problem is that he doesn't really have a 'base' of Conservative MPs. The right seems to be against him, as does anyone loyal to previous MPs he shafted. He has govt loyalists and most Red Wall MPs but I don't think it will be enough.
