Of course he will. He's on the right side of history after all.

The back-benchers have been told that if they vote for no confidence an election will be held and all the MPs who voted won't get any support from the Tory party, or the bare minimum, effectively losing their seats and shoehorning in Starmer who will likely have a small majority or a minority government.
Then after his short term and another election is called the Tories will get back into power.

We'll see, the people are ready for a long Labour Government, public works programmes, tax the rich etc. But I hope he stays on as Brexit bites further and destroys the Con men for a decade. We might return to the EU in that time.
If Starmer gets in, he's going to focus on autonomy. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will get referendums on Devo-Max, which I think would be a positive direction, but I think Wales won't vote for it
This would obviously affect our relationship with Europe.

Yeah, hopefully people are tired of Tory leadership after Cameron, May and now Johnson. Like him or not, the country grew under Blair, either despite the Afghan and Iraq wars or because of it.

When you keep using statistics as evidence of progression, you'll get more investment. However, if you fudge the figures, which they did, then you'll get investment in the wrong industries, or rather, investing in schools and hospitals that on paper look progressive but actually aren't.
It's like lowering the test scores so more people pass. At first, nobody notices, but eventually it'll catch up with you and then people demand more services, which would mean more loans.
This in turn, means inflation and raising the minimum wage 5% an hour doesn't mean dick if a 99p energy drink now costs £1.05.
Now I'll agree with you that the country grew from 1997 to 2003, but the Iraq war and the 2004 enlargement of the EU (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia and Hungary) meant a huge movement of labour and a change in investment from social services to liberating Iraq. These two factors combined caused less power to the trade unions financially and socially. Blair stood on his podium as president of Europe while Farage insulted him all throughout the rest of the decade. We, and America had a housing crisis in 2006, which caused the big scandal of trading derivatives of debt in 2007 and I'm linking these together because the inclusion of the Eastern Block was a big toll on the EU economy, and then the American economy. Now when the two biggest economies in the world start collapsing, we get the "great financial crisis of 2008."
Just to be clear, I'm not directly blaming eastern European immigration for the crisis, the Iraq war did much worse. Much, much worse. But that's what we got with Blair and Starmer seems to be buddies with him.

Johnson backtracks on comment that Starmer failed to prosecute Savile
After three days of pressure, prime minister acknowledges that a lot of people have ‘got very hot under the collar’
So there's no proof that Starmar tried to go easy on Saville? What a c**t move by Boris.
Saville seems to be this guy that many prominent persons in England knew and was friends with, but after the dirt came out that he was a life-long child rapist, everyone's like "Jimmy who?"
Boris is most likely waiting until the May elections, which we all know will be a disaster. Once that happens, the party will replace him. An election won't be called because it needs a 2/3 majority in the house of commons.
Also, Starmer is just another Neil Kinnock.
