Baffled
Even if Johnson loses, I bet he'll do a Trump and refuse to recognise the result.
I wondered whether he be removed as leader and remain PM.
The Cabinet Manual says that a PM "will normally be the accepted leader of a political party that commands the majority of the House of Commons", but it does not say that this must be the case.

My guess is in practise it would be very hard for him to continue but it appears that legally he could refuse to step down and we'd end up in a kind of stalemate.
