Javid and Sunak have both resigned their cabinet posts….

It is rumoured that Nadhim Zahawi is either resigning or telling Johnson to resign.
It’s like A Game of Thrones!

He’s got to go. He can’t call an election - surely?! He’d have to be an independent with the few tories who support him. A new Tory party running a separate campaign ??

I think that the Tories are s…t scared that he will call an election, they tried to pin him down at the Committee.

Maybe he thinks he’ll save face by doing so. He wouldn’t stand for re-election, and would avoid the ignominy of being a back bencher for the next two+ years, which he would hate. I don’t think he cares in the slightest about anything but himself.

Given her friendship with Paddington, they could see Johnson together and tell him to s*d off together

If I was her I’d borrow Paddington’s hat to add gravitas to the occasion.

Be brilliant if the Queen told him to sod off - quoting Tommy Lascelles

She has been practising her hard stare with lessons from Paddington Bear.

So what they are worried about is that if Johnson is forced to resign he will go to the Queen ( poor soul) and call a snap election, which will cause further chaos.

Not sure how that would work tbh as mor3 than half of his MPs don’t support him.

I came in ten mins ago, put the tv on. Excruciating watching Johnson squirm. How can he continue?
Is he capable of asking the Queen to dissolve Parliament so he can lead the tories into an election?

I have a WI committee meeting at 6 pm. I’m chairing it so I don’t think it will last long. Bets on Johnson going before midnight?

Yes, Ladyleftfieldlover, defo more than the odd flash of anger. Close to losing it. Just finished by the look of it.

If your comment was directed to me WW2, it is resignations of minsters/juniors since becoming PM. BJ has now overtaken May according to Ian Jones on Twitter.

Me too! Enjoying seeing him squirm. ?

WW2, me too. I have binge watched News/Politics Live/ PMQs/Liaison Cttee/News. Dilemma is Peston or Newsnight tonight. Thank heavens you can iron at same time and that I am retired.

I’m just sat slobbing on the sofa?.

So does that mean what? 148+33 = definitely toast I presume

Latest count on resignations May v Johnson - 52 to 54 and counting. Well he does like to be first.

Chief whip in no 10.

whitewavemark I doubt that particular poster is happy at the loss of Trump.

Thank you - beginning to recover now.

Watching the Liaison Committee questioning - My goodness he is toast - how on earth can he survive?

I’m currently watching the Liaison Committee. I would put money on BJ losing it any time soon. The MP’s questioning him are not being particularly gracious and one referred jokingly to a Moscow Show trial!

At least it's not boring with old Boris in charge.

Life in Ukraine is not boring at the moment. Is that something you would recommend as an alternative to boredom?

Johnson is an arrogant, ammoral, immoral b*****d, who is damaging the country, our international standing, and his party, by his Trumpian behaviour.

If that for you justfies all he is putting the country, his supporters through, on the grounds at least he is not a bore. I am happy to buy you a single ticket to Ukraine.

Very glad to see you Whitewave, I was beginning to worry after your brush with covid.
Yes I’m watching BJ in front of the select committee. Can’t believe I’m missing the tennis but am fascinated by the squirming.

At first I didn't pay much attention to Boris Johnson because he's not in my realm. As time went on, I wondered what the heck? What is with his hair? He always looks so rumpled and breathless. I'm sorry he didn't work out and do a good job. We are suffering quite a bit over here for lack of a good leader. It's possible Biden will turn out to be worse than Jimmy Carter. That's hard to wrap my head around. At least Jimmy Carter was a nice guy.

Ah but how happy you must be to have got rid of Trump.

We are still stuck with our pound shop Trump.
