Why on earth have so many MPs suddenly found their sense of integrity all of a sudden I wonder? This has been going on for months and most have supported Johnson.
All of the cabinet are tainted.

Sorry missed out Majesty’s

Her response will need to be written (and worded carefully). I don’t think she can say “Hurrah, not before time” which is what I said.

He’s done so much damage already and don’t believe he should stay even for a few months. The country is in a terrible state with so many immediate concerns about the increasing cost of living, health, and of course the war in Ukraine for starters.

Still not a word from our head of state. It’s almost as if our nation’s affairs are of no concern to her.

What do you expect her to say?

Surely the deputy PM should take over?

That's Dominic Raub maybe even the Conservatives can't rely on him!

Whitewavemark2 Thu 07-Jul-22 10:20:26

Yes I guess so unless the cabinet is so tainted none can be trusted

I thought that the Queen invited Alex Douglas- Hume to be PM.

The last time a monarch chose a PM was 1834

So?

I agree, he can’t be allowed to remain, he’s too much of a loose cannon. I’ve emailed my MP, who is chief whip, to say so.

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.

The Queen can appoint a temporary PM. That is not a problem.

We basically have no government at the moment, who will want to serve in his cabinet? Apart from Nadine obv. Maybe a ministerial post for Carrie?

That's the next battle the Tories will have - I can't see many MPs wanting him to stay on as caretaker as he can't be trusted to act honourably.

NotSpaghetti Thu 07-Jul-22 10:01:49

I think he's got to go too.
He is a liability.

Whitewavemark2 Thu 07-Jul-22 09:59:24

He can’t possibly stay as is being suggested until the autumn.

Far too much damage is being done, and surely the Tory party can’t trust him one inch!
