I couldn’t be more pleased ?

I know, both me and DH actually cheered when the resignations were announced on TV!

That's the first two evaluating their future career prospects and deciding its best to get out now. It's a pity they didn't have a fit of conscience before this, all this time they have been part of this corrupt and criminal regime.

I heard him on TV saying sorry and blaming his apologists for speaking on his behalf. All that was missing was vaccine rollout, Ukraine, getting on with the things that matter whah, whah.
Surely he can't squirm out of this one.

Has anyone ever resigned twice like Javid has done?

Smileless2012 Tue 05-Jul-22 18:46:57

That's what Mr. S. said HousePlantQueen, they're stepping away to go for the leadership position but is it too little too late?

It’s all settled, Boris has said ‘sorry’

That’s it sorted then!

Great news. But not, I think, a sinking ship: more of a sinking shit.

I doubt anyone would be prepared to take a cabinet job at the moment, no matter how ambitious they are. It would be a poisoned chalice. Quick gain, long time loss.

Nadine ran into Number 10!

Maybe she’s the new Chancellor shock

varian Tue 05-Jul-22 19:00:27

NO No , surely Nadine will be the next PM!!!

Something flashed up on Facebook this morning that the cabinet were acting to oust Johnson within 24 hours but I didn’t believe it ( I can’t remember the source but I’ll see if I can find it).

Yep, that’s what Mr M said too.

One things for sure Therese Coffey wont go, she’s his number 1 fan, well perhaps number 2 after Nadine…

Beautful Tue 05-Jul-22 19:08:05

Will continue until Boris realises he SHOULD resign himself ... falling apart everyday

I was told that at the weekend from a very informed person. Wish I could say!
There are definitely plans afoot.

I think Zahawi will be next, he’s not looked comfortable for a while.

MissAdventure Tue 05-Jul-22 19:11:04

It's great when the rubbish puts itself out.

MayBee70 Tue 05-Jul-22 19:11:53

JRM says he has no desire to serve another Prime Minister. I’ll hold him to that!

Grannmarie Tue 05-Jul-22 19:13:09

I hope this is the beginning of the end...long overdue.

JRM is on Channel 4 News just now supporting Boris...
