‘Bet Nah!’ ? as Ray Winston might say.

Name your day and time of the announcement
(and, as another thread suggests, get your celebratory tipple of choice at the ready)?

Well I'm happy to say I was proved wrong! Nearly. I can't imagine him staying til autumn. Is that what he demanded from the Tory Party perhaps? What a mess.

No it's the way it works when there isn't a leader of the party.

Maybe Nadine Dorries - she’ll have to be minster for everything.

Will anyone want to serve with him for the next few months? Could be toxic association.

Oh no! If he does stay on as caretaker, just think of the scorched earth he could inflict on us. Like others, I have grave doubts about his mental stability.

Stephanie48 Thu 07-Jul-22 09:40:52

He will resign today, but stay as PM until the Autumn, when they will elect a new leader.

Daisymae Thu 07-Jul-22 09:40:33

Johnson will.

Today!
But who will be PM till the next leader is elected?

He will. In order to cease to be PM he has to go to the Queen. If he doesn't he is still PM.

Any minute now.
9.58, I'll say.

Daisymae Thu 07-Jul-22 09:31:47

Seems that he will resign today but stay on until the autumn creating as much chaos and uncertainty as possible until then.

annsixty Thu 07-Jul-22 09:30:54

Has he really gone?
?Oh happy day?

Riverwalk Thu 07-Jul-22 09:30:47

It will be mayhem if he resigns but stays on until a successor is in place - who will serve in his Cabinet, some 4th raters?

Glorianny Thu 07-Jul-22 09:30:10

So I'm just looking at the protocol and even if he resigns it doesn't mean he steps down. He can remain as a caretaker PM until someone is chosen to be the next PM. So if you are askig when he goes well that's different to when he resigns (or might be)

Zonne Thu 07-Jul-22 09:29:48

I can’t imagine the chaos and problems that Johnson, with no ethics, no consideration for political or constitutional norms, and nothing within politics to look forward to, will cause over the summer. Poor bloody country. I hope it is not permitted.

Think of the cost of redecorating No 10 all over again! Can we afford it?!
