Most papers going with 'on the brink' today while the Sun's on 'last chance saloon.' tbh that particular establishment probably has a seat permanently reserved for de Piffle.

Enjoy it while it lasts; whatever's coming is worse. It always is.

Snap poll by yougov...

This latest scandal facing the government has pushed the number of Britons demanding the prime minister resign to a record high of 69%. The previous high had been 63% on a couple of occasions in January, as the 'partygate' scandal continued to rumble. Just 18% of Britons want Boris Johnson to remain in post.

Perhaps more significant is the fact that most 2019 Conservative voters (54%) now also want to see the prime minister gone. This is the first time Tory voters have been more likely to want to see Johnson go than stay (33%), with a majority having wanted to keep him as recently as early June.

Despite the public desire to see the prime minister evicted from Number 10, far fewer Britons expect Johnson to go willingly. Just one in five (21%) believe he will resign, up from 7% at the beginning of June. Two thirds (68%) expect him to try and stay.

When it comes to Rishi Sunak, most Britons believe the chancellor was right to resign (56%), with Conservative voters tending to agree by 47% to 24%.

These mega threads are shit btw. Totally killed the boards. Who thought this shit up?

It happened because you couldn't be bothered to start a more specific thread. There is no conspiracy.

yeah the mood seems to be for a post-Johnson plan to cut taxes, spend less and deregulate more

It is weird what ends up being the straw for various camels throughout history.

This is indeed very odd, after everything else it almost seems inconsequential. Even though it shouldn't be, I think they are just using it as an excuse.

First resignation of the morning

 

[bimble]

These people who jumped into the vacant seats yesterday to be chancellor & health sec are they betting that johnson will survive?

 

[Steel Icarus]

I wish she'd specify whose trust

 

[brogdale]

I wish him well in this.

 

[steveseagull]

Will Quince now gone. (Children's minister I think)

 

[bimble]

ha, so 69% of people say they think BJ should resign now but only 1 in 5 think its likely that he actually will.

 

[ruffneck23]

Will Quince just gone according to LB, was expecting to hear Ferrari desperately frothing this morning unfortunately he is on holiday.

ETA steveseagull beat me to it.

 

[steveseagull]

Not happy they sent him out to lie for Johnson

I missed wq's interview the other day so had no idea who he was is or might be

Difficult to know what's in their tiny narcissistic minds...but, in the case of Zahawi, I suspect he thinks not and hopes that holding the next most important office will enhance his chances in the leadership contest. If Johnson hangs on wrecking the party even more, that may backfire for Zahawi.

Colchester cunt.

Stepping up in these circumstances guarantees he will never be pm

Can't fault him on how determined he is fight to the last but those that are left in the Cabinet are pretty much unemployable elsewhere they know their careers (or lack thereof) are tied to his.
Mrs Q offered the comment this morning that he is like that tiny bit of shit that clings to the toilet bowl and won't go no matter how often you try and flush it away.

Yep. It looks pretty high stakes to me, leaping in to replace the resignations given that most of the people that voted them in in the first place now want johnson to bugger off and they know that.
