Johnson must go immediately

Not the last we have heard of Boris.. He'll end up with a Cabinet job.. Looking after Ukraine?

Definitely not. His ego wouldn’t tolerate being second fiddle. My money is on him wanting another election asap, he won’t stand as an MP, and then he’ll be free to make money.

He’s gone.

He's gone and he hasn't gone, at the same time. Howzat?

So this time it is the herd instinct that is to blame, never "no blame Boris".

I wonder if anyone has counted the number of lies about achievements in that speech.

He hasn’t gone, he’s stringing it out for as long as possible. He needs time to find a place to live, don’t suppose Carries flat will be suitable for two children.

He and his family own an estate on Exmoor.

Another reason why he should go immediately

Please do bear in mind that, if he is allowed to stay on as caretaker, Johnson will seize on even the tiniest hint of emergency to suspend the leadership process and cling to office for longer. Let’s just hope nothing happens to Zelensky, London or the Queen.

Oh crumbs. I suppose we have to be glad that there have not been people with guns storming Parliament WWM. At least not so far.

He really must go immediately. There's too much opportunity for even more damage to be done. Plus I doubt that he actually intends to go anywhere.

I think Theresa May is an honourable person and would be the ideal caretaker until the new PM is appointed if she will do it. I think she would for the sake of the country

Well, it's a farm .....

Just been reading that he and Carrie have big wedding at Chequers planned for June.
Sounds a feasible reason for hanging on?

500 acres near Nethercote

He can't go until there is a new leader to take over as PM. If he handed his resignation to the Queen now it would mean we had no PM.

It would mean that Raab would be PM

They're already married are they not? And it's past June!

The Mirror reports allegedly that the PM won't go before the summer because they are supposed to have a big wedding bash at Chequers sometime at the end of July. Typical.

Well it’s happened, he had to go. I personally pleased what he achieved, Brexit, Covid, his relationship with Ukraine, they think we’re mad, I think Johnson a fantastic orator and motivator but how stupid was he to lie, duck and dive, to lose his job which he loved it is just so stupid and lacking in integrity. You don’t get everything with anyone, probably some very boring but precise newcomer, who dies t lie, but who will just tread water but achieve little. So I don’t feel elated, just resigned as it was inevitable.

No surprise there, and yes typical of him.

I want my politicians to be boring; if I want to be entertained by a clown, I'll go to the circus.

Poor old Boris with only 500 inherited acres of Exmoor land on which there are several properties.

I dare the 1922 committee will act to force the issue, but why they can’t get their act together before next week I don’t understand.

I gather that Theresa May has been suggested as a caretaker - a good choice IMO.

It's not a huge farm, I would say average for livestock.

I don't feel sorry for him in the slightest but I believe that facts are facts which is something he doesn't recognise.

And does his father own it anyway?

They have a big wedding party planned at Chequers in a couple of weeks time. I’m sure the next leader would have allowed them to still have it there. Not an excuse to cling on.
