PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

If he's staying until autumn when a new leader is elected, presumably he'll need to fill all those ministerial posts for the next few months. Wonder whether he'll offer them back to those who have resigned, or if we'll just get a bunch of (even bigger) no-marks in post.
 
No last stand shoot out from the top floor of No10. :mad:

A SWAT team lobbing stun grenades through the window while Rees Mogg reloads the antique shotguns. Dorries shouts defiant slogans through the letterbox and Johnson sits glassy eyed in his chair muttering about getting the job done

Well they'll probably have to drag him out kicking and screaming in October so that ^ could yet come to pass... 🤞

Jesus fucking Christ what a quote
Well, Braverman has a vacuum for a brain but she is sort of right - it depends what you mean. Governments are run in the everyday by civil servants, not ministers, and can mostly keep going just fine without the ministers. Belgium managed months without an elected government. Ministers mostly just give broad policy lines for the civil servants to run along and they can just keep going on their most recent instructions until given new ones. A democratic deficit will become more apparent at some point due to lack of new instructions and lack of new legislation, but given how slowly those wheels turn in general there's no real hurry to get new ministers in most positions.

It certainly looks very bad for the Tory party not to have many ministers in post, but that's not the same as being bad for the country...
