New Tory Leader

[PurpleCanary 5,554]

For strategic reasons I wanted him to stay right up to the next election, but that is unsurvivable.

Sunak  & Javid have quit! Things might be changing!

Did he last longer than May?

[ricardo 7,349]

A colourful political period is concluding.

With the initials BJ he was always likely to come to a sticky ending.😉

Taxi for Johnson.

I rather like the idea of one of those small inflatable dingies that we have a surfeit of. Johnson, Patel and Dorries. Macron might give them asylum.

[Indy 3,286]

I don’t think he’ll go on his own it’ll take more to get him out, he’s as resolute as Trump or Putin for power! 
But what’s the alternative? They’re all as complicit and untrustworthy as Boris anyway!

Wonder if either the BBC or ITV have someone to book in the drone for the official car visit to Buckingham Palace tomorrow afternoon?

Forgot to add. Truss as the sea anchor.

Probably been said before, but arguably comes down to this

Just heard Rigby say that Raab, Dorries, and Rees-Bogg are remaining loyal, which means he's a gonner! "Just rejoice at that news", someone once said.

It was Beth Rigby, not Burley as I originally stated

He is the only prime minister I can actually imagine trying to pull off another election to save his job in the circumstances.

Also Sunak and Javid pretending they are resigning out of principle is incredible.

[bringbackchippy 51]

Glad they've gone!

We certainly don't want a muslim in the hottest, no good for any of us!

Boris, stop telling lies and get on with doing the good job of leading our country, you're the man, bulldog spirit will always prevail!

Sorry hotseat!

I used to think that, but on reflection think it serves the Labour Party (LibDems etc) much better to get a new Tory leader in now in order for him/her to take full responsibility for the next couple of years of hell that the country is about to endure. Otherwise they dump Johnson just before an election and he soaks up all the past crap while the new guy gets a new leader bounce.

You've apologised for that part of your post! For your typo?

Probably in his office right now getting something "pulled off".

I wonder if Gove will be Sunak's Campaign Manager?

Nadine is the new Chancellor and we are going back to pounds, shillings and pence and tuppence back on empty bottles.

One of the unwittingly fun ironies of BoJo’s statement is that he gave Pincher a second chance but on reflection realised he (Pincher) was totally incorrigible and was never going to change his behavior…

Pity, ive just chucked mine in the recycle bin.

I did like the old currency though, you could get rat ar$ed on half a crown.

[horsefly 4,288]

Just imagine you were one of those obsequious sycophants willing to lie on behalf of Johnson since Friday. Raab, Coffey, Quince; may the stench of shi*t never leave your hands that you have so willingly cupped beneath Johnson's rancid buttocks.

Hold on to your hats, Murrison, the trade envoy to Morocco has resigned now.

I still have a set of six George VI florins I used to count off the balls when I was umpiring that I could sell you, but I am afraid under the de extreme circumstances it would have to be at a suitably elevated price…

Still going as a pub. Lots of others gone though.

I looked at the cabinet list just now to try to imagine who will replace these two.

Fairly tragic when Grant Shapps looks like one of the brighter lights.
