Re: Boris: What next?
Reminded me of "Sing, Mikey, Sing"
You say you stand
By your man
Tell me something
I don't understand
You said you loved me
And that's a fact
And then you left me
Said you felt trapped
Well some things you can't explain away
But the heart aches in me 'til this day
You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way
Seems appropriate.
If you want me Steve, just Snapchat me yeah? You know how to Snapchap me doncha Steve? You just...

I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works

Apparently Gove told Johnson this morning that Johnson should quit.
And now another has gone - are we at 28 now?

Gove's delay is that he needs to go shopping for a new backstabbing knife, his usual one has gone blunt.

Either that or he wants to look loyal so that he can present himself as a good party man (not the work function kind) prepared to put service before self when he unsuccessfully runs to be party leader again

The Guardian:
Why it is now looking terminal for Boris Johnson
By my count 15 government ministers have resigned since 6pm last night. Total resignations are much higher than that - around 30 - but the departure of PPSs (of whom there are arguably far too many anyway), trade envoys and Tory party vice chairs does not matter.
But government ministers have to be replaced. Even Jacob Rees-Mogg would not advocated slimming down the size of government to the extent that a 15-person loss would represent, and this is why increasingly it looks as if Boris Johsnon’s government is in its death throes. It is not at all obvious that Johnson would be able to replace all these ministers. Put bluntly, there are not enough Peter Bones to go round.
Jeremy Corbyn managed for several weeks with dozens of frontbench posts unfilled. But an opposition can function like that (with difficulty). A government can’t.
Re: Boris: What next?
Even my useless local MP has resigned... he's toast.
Its all over bar the shouting.
He should bunker down and enjoy his last moments with his silly expensive wallpaper.

David Frum in America has basically just said on Twitter that at least Boris Johnson won’t arrange an insurrection and I replied and said only because he’s too busy shagging a housekeeper and Kellyannne Conway’s husband liked it. Bow before me.

And Rachel Maclean makes 32...
Re: Boris: What next?
Most of the cabinet seems to have confirmed it's not resigning, and there are no big names in the few who haven't confirmed.
So maybe Johnson can can treat this as another clear-out of the unfaithful, and carry on, Trump-like.

The 1922 have a normal meeting at 4pm. Or not-so-normal.

BBC claiming that a group of cabinet ministers and the chief whip will deliver the whisky and revolver to Johnson very soon. Hope they have bullet proof vests on.

Zahawi is going to tell Johnson to resign
8 resignations while he was in the committee
The committee was amazing television. It’s like they were watching the Trump hearings and thought “we have to up our game”

Re: Boris: What next?
The humiliation is stunning. Has there ever been a more car-crash end to a government? Desperately trying to cling on is not a good look.

PM is not denying he said “all the sex pests are supporting me”. This is painful
Have you considered stupidity as an explanation
Re: Boris: What next?
Telling the PM to quit on the same day you took the job of Chancellor from that same PM, in place of the Chancellor who resigned to tell the PM to quit, isn't a very good look either, if that's what's happening.
I don't think this lot cares very much what anything looks like any more.

WTAF - the person he just appointed is there to tell him to resign. You seriously couldn't make this up.Stranger Mouse wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 4:03 pmZahawi is going to tell Johnson to resign
