As suggested earlier i'm frequently absent so do not follow your posts. i share your distaste for the whiggish histories that are far too popular imho. Anyway, it was you who began the questioning process wasn't it? i just responded with an answer.if you'd followed my posts on this you'd knok that i despise the whig historians, so no, i don't agree with the notion of a permanently improving society - foolish after eg the holocaust

Totally but I don’t think the money issues are completely irrelevant.He was on 800k before he took the job wasn’t he? Column once a week or so.
Anyway I think ‘it’s for the cash’ isn’t the answer for why he wants to cling on in this ridiculous situation.
It was him that moaned about not being able to afford to be PM tbf, and he'd say the sky was green if it suited him.
Could Carrie file for divorce too? Be nice to kick him when he's down.

Not sure what her interest in him was but being married to a former PM can’t have the same appeal.
Sums it up.Just heard a Don Valley resident (with a proper working class accent) bemoaning the loss of Bojo and expressing concern about who's "gunna rule" us next! Struggling to articulate how listening to this made me feel (as a former Yorkshire type). There is a lot wrong with the world imho. Pass the bottle.
Resign and leave now = zero chance of magically turning it round. Cling on for a few weeks and see if there’s any further plays that might make them all see sense & restore him to his rightful position is logical in its way.

It’s not that ffs! So many people thinking it’s that, I find it quite amazing. He will earn loads more once he’s out of the job. He moaned a while ago he couldn’t afford to do the job it was so poorly paid compared to what he’s used to. And it’s endearingly naive imo to think he’s so ‘toxic’ now that he won’t swan into a mil a year easy.
I think he wants to stay because he feels he deserves to be the prime minister, and ride around in the special car and so on. It’s power not money, but question in my mind is does he really want to be just waiting for his replacement (lame duck do they call it?) or is it something else some Hail Mary like things might yet turn in his favour & this conditional & delayed exit is his attempt at buying time.
Sums it up.
Every post he does he gets called a cunt, them the penny dropsIt has taken until now to understand his name.
THE SHAME!!!

Robert Buckland, new Secretary of state for Wales, tells me the cabinet established today that Boris Johnson will serve as a caretaker PM after cabinet government asserted itself. Full exchange later on

Saw this earlier (sorry, no idea how to do tweets properly). Seems to be something along the lines of 'johnson resigns as party leader and loses his cabinet. There are then questions about whether he's entitled to stay on till the Autumn. So.... he goes ahead and appoints another cabinet and they decided he has the legitimacy to stay on till Autumn'. Democracy eh?
Oh absolutely - anyone who thinks he's finished hasn't been watching. This is simply about getting through today, it has no impact on what he does or says tomorrow or next week.
Personally I'm still expecting some Trumpian shenanigans - I genuinely believe he will have to be physically dragged out of No10 by the Police.
We are very lucky to live in a place where our conventions can be based on the idea that PM's will be honourable people who will a) keep to their word, and b) do the right thing - it is simply unfortunate that we currently have a PM who does not conform to that historical precedent...
