The ‘Mystic Meg of politics’ has called Boris Johnson’s departure date

Better start packing your bags, prime minister.

A professor who accurately predicted the result of Monday’s no confidence vote in Boris Johnson has predicted when the prime minister will be shunted out of office.

Professor Jon Tonge – who teaches British politics at the University of Liverpool – told The Guardian that Johnson will be turfed out of No 10 within months.

He said: “I’d be surprised that if he was still prime minister in the autumn. I would say six months, but if anyone can tough it out it is Johnson.”

Professor Tonge shot to fame after tweeting, an hour before the result was announced, his prediction: that 211 Tory MPs would back Johnson. He also predicted that 147 would rebel – just one out.

And, last month, he was almost as accurate at calling the outcome of the Northern Ireland Assembly poll.

He said: “I said Sinn Féin would get 26 seats and they got 27. I said the DUP would get 24 seats and they got 25.”

So Johnson better start packing his bags.

They call him the Mystic Meg of political science. https://t.co/0LhA25q4rw

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
