Heard the news? He has refused to go.

He’s mad….

And there’s another resignation coming…..

He’s just sacked Michael Gove!

It has suddenly occurred to me why he is refusing to go - he needs the money!

Unlike Sunak, Javid, Zahawi, even Rees-Mogg, he didn't make a pile before he came into Parliament and with a wife and heavens knows how many children to support. He desperately needs every penny of the PM's salary. He also doesn't have any home to go to.

So if he goes, bang goes the money, he has got to support his many obligations out of an ordinary members of parliamets salary.

That or is waiting for one/some of the wealthy members to club together to offer him a sum of money so large that he cannot refuse it.

I hope he's not trying/hoping for a popular backlash... a sort of man of the red wall people being driven out by the metropolitan elite.

A Trumpian tactic.

I have nothing but absolute contempt for the man and his ever decreasing circle of followers.

Petronella Wyatt, one of Boris's ex mistresses ,is offering some insights into his character in the Mail and on Twitter today.

"Boris has undoubted talent and charisma, but is sadly bereft of humility or a sagacious apprehension of the realities of a modern democracy."

"Boris's obsession with his own divine right will tear apart his party and cause collateral damage to the country."

He once told me that he idolised medieval kings because they didn't 'have to bother with voters' and had 'a free pass to do as they pleased'

'In the universe of Boris, he is king, not Prime Minister. '

'I even recall his once saying to me that most Conservative voters were 'dunderheads' and 'not worth bothering about.'

I’m beginning to think he works for the Russians!!

Don't even joke about it!!

The longer it goes on, the more the similarities between him and Trump grow, apart from looks. Both are in denial that they have lost their appeal and people are turning away from them.

How Boris can look at the opinion polls for his party and himself, both plunging downwards at a vertiginous pace, and say that the Conservatives cannot win an election without him, is taking being in denial to Trumpian heights.

I’m beginning to think he works for the Russians!!

Beyond parody now.

Beginning to think he’s lost the plot.

He takes arrogance to a new level.
