PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Fingers crossed for barricaded inside No 10 with Dorries and Fabricant and refusing to come out.

 

[Duncan2]

Surely the domino effect of all these resignations can't be arrested now? I blame the Eye

 

[killer b]

oh i see its this sort of thing
"Johnson is famously stubborn, and he is unlikely to quit just because two ministers have decided to go. But increasingly Conservative MPs believe they have no chance of winning the next election under his leadership. Ultimately that assessment should prove decisive.."

so its about them possibly changing the rules & defenestrating him

I think there's likely to be a point very soon where - 1922 rules regardless - it'll be clear that he no longer has the support of the majority of his MPs. After which, why bother delaying the inevitable? Two big cabinet resignations (and more to follow tonight no doubt) makes that point a lot closer.

 

[Rob Ray]

Zahawi or Gove seem to be the bets for any further resignations, the latter an outside contender.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I've seen no news - literally none - in five months so this was a welcome surprise. Always amusing to see at what point of a flaccid & corrupt term people cite their principles.

 

[tommers]

The gig isn't up, this isn't even the worst thing he'll do this week.

Was going to post that this morning. Shows how much I know.

He's going to flail about for while at least you'd hope, please let him crush Rees Mogg somehow while he does.

what do you mean, nobody would take the chancellor job to shore up the illusion of a functioning governmnet? i bet they will probably by end of tomorrow.

Take the chancellor's job for five minutes when you can see which way the wind's blowing or hang on for something better? If you do the former in current circumstances, you're tainted. Do the latter, and you're still in the game. It's politics, that's how these fuckers think/act.

 

[tommers]

I want him to try to do a coup.

Maybe he can whip up a furious mob of Neo-nazis to storm parliament and hang Rees-Mogg.

That'd be entertaining.

100% of liz truss is behind him, great.

Skybet odds on him being replaced this year have shortened quite a bit since last night

Don't tell me there's a spare Boris johnson

I've just woken up from a siesta and am not convinced I am fully woke.

Andrew Bridgen is saying back benchers are determined to kick Johnson out before the summer recess.

 

[maomao]

I'm rooting for him to hold on as long as possible just for shits and giggles.

He needs to go, and go now.

Channel 4 News saying Javid and Sunak were both very clear that they hadn't coordinated their resignations.

 

[JimW]

It's funnier because it's all so avoidable, hardly anything he couldn't have ridden out with even a whisker less weasel.

 

[planetgeli]

Must be a toss up between Liz Truss and Nadine Dorries for Chancellor. Who's left?

Well they're both tossers

Gove is staying.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Keir Starmer's chance of becoming next PM has risen to 7%.

 

[platinumsage]

Third one. Not quite the same level as the first two though:

Oh, is he crossing the floor to join the Tories?
