ich: "You are confident Labour will regain Bury South whenever then Tora :-) " - yes all the Red wall seats will revert to Labour, sadly the Pandemic has removed the possibility of any sort of government since the election. The voters there will not take account of that and revert, that is the nature of the public, they will disregard the crises and the fact that we have not actually seen any sort of government beyond managing the crises. Labour would have done exactly the same but the red wall seats will disregard that. So yes I fully expect the red wall seats to be red again. There is an outside chance that in the case of Bury the people will rebel at having a Labour MP thrust upon them having elected a Tory but I doubt it. Ditto the other inevitable red wall defections.
More from the bbc correspondent :
“If a prime minister misleads Parliament, should be resign?"
In the vast majority of situations, a prime minister would answer "yes" to this question.
The fact that Boris Johnson ducked it neatly encapsulates the mess he currently finds himself in.
Because, for all the revelations about parties, misleading the Commons is conventionally seen as something no prime minister can survive.

Hi majority is irrelevant. Any politician crossing the floor, either way, should hold a by election.
It does seem a very short sighted thing to do. There is no guarantee the labour party will want to put him up in the next GE and in addition I dont see how his letter of no confidence can stand now.
I agree with TTT though, doubtful many red wall seats will be kept although there is a chance if Johnson and his green rubbish causing massive deprivation to the poor is ousted.

In light of what Boris has been doing since the last GE it would not take much to swing it back to red if there were a by election tomorrow :
:
Christian Wakeford won Bury South in 2019, after the constituency backed a Labour MP at every election since 1997.
The seat was won by a narrow margin of 402 votes - or a 0.8% majority.
More telling for me was the attack by David Davis who probably echos more of what the back benches are feeling
