Sniveling is more in keeping with his character.

Is that why he always looks half asleep?

the PM can only sack people from cabinet jobs and not from their MP-ness right?

There's currently no way of sacking MPs from their role as a member of parliament.

They can have the party whip withdrawn, which means they are expelled from the parliamentary political party, which results in them continuing to sit as an MP, albeit when they whip's withdrawn they become an independent MP (unless they defect to another party).

Alternatively, a few years ago, a mechanism was introduced whereby it became possible to recall MPs.

"Unlike recall procedures in some other countries, the act does not allow constituents to initiate proceedings. Instead, proceedings are initiated only if an MP is found guilty of a wrongdoing that fulfils certain criteria. This petition is successful if at least one in ten voters in the constituency sign. Successful petitions force the recalled MP to vacate the seat, resulting in a by-election."

They're not employees, not really responsible/answerable to anyone in the sense that they can't be sacked.

Resignations still coming in lol

Good response

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Kay Burley, 'he's still in power', Alastair Campbell, 'well, he's in the building behind you, but I don't think we can say he's in power'.

It would be more accurate to say Johnson remains in office albeit no longer in power.

 

[Wilf]

I am very disappointed that Johnson has decided to go. We could have done with a lot more of the last few weeks: a summer of civil war, breathtaking stupidity and preening, jostling, privilege on display and mounting crisis was what was required.
'natural
Instead, a new leader with an 80 seat majority will now be installed and the media narrative - gormlessly parroted by idiots - will be:

• a fresh start ('a new government' etc)
• new probity and standards: the Parliament is cleansed etc
• cheerleading for tax cuts and 'help' for business and landlords so that they will invest (they won't)
• give the new leader time narratives everywhere etc
• the disastrous human consequences of an inflation and costs crisis pinned on Johnson rather than the system that he pathetically administered.

Meanwhile, the new leader will get space to take organised labour on and push down wages. the causes of the cost of living crisis will remain unaddressed, over 10 million people will endure food and energy poverty and in two years time we'll probably end up with another Tory Government if the new man/woman doesn't fuck it up.

All that stands in their way is Starmer. If you didn't laugh....

Johnson is a massive cunt of course. But the replacement will be a cunt too. But probably one who is a bit better at hiding it from some.

Yep, this, emphatically this. However much I hate to admit it, we've got a 'natural' (can't think of a better word, perhaps 'underlying') tory lead in the polls at the moment. Johnson's years of outright lying, partying amid the funerals and all the rest has only managed to tip that into single digit Labour leads. Quite astonishingly. The fresh start bit is important, the new leader will be banging on about restoring trust with the British people and the rest. Starmer's Labour is appalling and regressive, but doesn't really exist as a set of policies or political project. It's just the place where a proportion of ex tory voters might go in circumstances like we have at the present. A lot can happen between now and then, but I'd put money on the tories having small leads in the polls circa September.

Well, that's brought the mood down.

A few minutes ago I popped into the local shop and loudly announced, 'Johnson has agreed to go, I need more beer to celebrate'.

I was greeted by laughter and cheers.

12pm for the resignation apparently

This was actually Suella Braveman’s position on R4 this morning, for her own leadership bid.

 

[frogwoman]

If they're thinking of Braverman etc that's really scraping the barrel tbh.

Now is the time for Durham Constabulary to play their part.
