My guess is that Therese Coffey will be next.

Well, Blow Job didn’t go when he was supposed to, so the behind the scenes machinations had to go nuclear so he doesn’t have the choice anymore. And all of that is fine, except, what now? Because, and please ffs don’t anyone take this as a pro BJ comment, I think there actually could be someone worse. And that someone is: the Gove creature.

Rishi said that this is his last position as a minister though or maybe that was what was reported that he said

Show quote history

He said this 'may' be his last ministerial position I.e. if BJ remains as PM he won't get back in

But if he either a) wins the leadership contest and becomes PM, or b) supports the winner, he knows he's one of the prominent Tories and will be back in a senior position

They obviously coordinated their resignations, I wonder if they've agreed that one will back the other for leader.

Show quote history

It was an immediate response to an interview the PM did.

"Speaking to BBC political editor Chris Mason, Mr Johnson said he was "fed up with people saying things on my behalf" and wanted to set the record straight."

How fuming would you be with that if you'd been one of the people getting sent out with various versions of "the truth" to defend the PM for weeks on end?

I wonder if both Rishi and Savid fancy a pop at the top job

Rishi certainly has ambitions but he'd be another disaster.

Well done Sajiv and Rishi. Hope more to follow. The blue touchpaper has been lit.

His resignation letter says something like "I accept this may be my last ministerial position"

RippleQueen · 05/07/2022 18:30

Could be a poisoned chalice for whoever is next PM, assuming Johnson hasn't super glued himself to No 10

And why can’t BJ talk without that stupid smile. If he was my child - what’s was my mum’s saying ‘ I’ll wipe that smile right off your face’. He infuriates me.

Looks like another socialist government will be installed soon.

There must be a leadership contest ny morning?

This is probably bad news for Labour. There's plenty of time for the Tories to regroup before an election. Starmer will really have to step up now and sadly I don't think we've seen that yet. Just not being Corbyn or Boris won't be enough.

Rats, sinking ship...

My thoughts exactly.

Andifin · 05/07/2022 18:25

Too many lies, too much gaslighting.

Boris has to resign or be pushed. About time. He’s like a naughty boy who tries to push the line again and again….
