And one with Miss Piggy and another with Kermit the frog?

Of course it is possible that he has written two letters??.

One to leave and one to remain

I am very sorry if this is true.
I admire Boris Johnson's courage and think members of the Conservative party have behaved despicably, provoked in the main by self -interest. They will be defeated at the next election, and the alliances that follows will spell disaster for this country.
The left- wing and Remainer attacks were only to be expected.

Many of the people telling him to go are MP’s in the ERG. This is nothing to do with brexit. This is about a man who is and never was fit for leadership. Although I must point out that that was because he was a lying narcissist whose promises about the sunlit uplands of brexit were also part of his fantasies.

I’m not sure you can blame remainer and left wing attacks when it was his own colleagues resigning which have triggered this. None of whom are left wing or remainers. Maybe they want a leader who is honest, has integrity and shows leadership qualities which are not based on self interest.

He’s going to make a statement today! yay!

Someone will write it for him, so there is a chance that it will be a bit dignified unless Johnson goes off-piste.

A resignation does seem to be imminent. I do hope that his resignation speech has at least a grain of dignity

I have just seen Stephen Baker being interviewed. I could vote for him

Suggestion that he will remain in No 10 as 'caretaker' PM.

Just to prolong our agony, I assume...

resignation imminent......BBC live News

Yes. Just watching Sky News and they are reporting that, too.
But has Johnson ever signed a single thing that he doesnt like?

He will definitely have to go, and anyone else in his position would, however reluctantly, have acknowledged this by now and accepted the inevitable.
Try as I might, though, I'm still struggling to imagine Johnson doing this and resigning in the traditional way.

MaizieD Thu 07-Jul-22 09:13:22

Yes, I've just seen Pippa Crerar reporting that on twitter.

If he was going to resign, why all the drama?

Whitewavemark2 Thu 07-Jul-22 09:13:19

Sounds as if he’s resigned.

Phew

Another interesting day
