Rats are leaving the sinking ship.

There are lift and drop sentences in Rishi and Sajid's letters so it's clearly been planned together. Wonder if anyone else is in on it.

Yes, there’s clearly a co-ordinated behind the scenes attempt to clean up the Conservative party’s brand in advance of the next election.

I’m wondering what Gove is up to.

Well we'll find out now if Johnson is truly a sociopath. He has to resign tonight and walk away with at least some integrity. If he were to stay now I'd be very worried.

@Tabitha005

She’s an ex grammar school kid with an Economics degree from Cambridge, isn’t she? She’s not an idiot.

Nadine Dorries replacing Sajid Javid would be excellent for women and girls.

Nadine Dorries has no place in the House of Commons.

MarshaBradyo · 05/07/2022 18:48

I have no idea why Truss is even a consideration it’s madness

I cannot listen to her non answers in interviews

Just anyone else -who has resigned would be better

He's a habitual liar, corrupt, sexually incontinent, lazy, a lawbreaker ... that's a bit more than demons.

Show quote history

Agreed, but none of those things are a bar to high office these days. His problem is that he lacks the basic competence in the job which alone could make his faults tolerable.

Dorries as Health Secretary, probably.

Truss as Chancellor, promote Badenoch?

Come on Liz Truss, you next please.

Liz Truss is being touted as a potential Johnson replacement. I'd be loathe to say she'd be any worse than the incumbent, but REALLY? The woman's a certified idiot.

Sadly I think this truly is the end for BoJo

Puzzledandpissedoff · 05/07/2022 18:45

Presumably it serves their interests in some way...

Of course it does - they get to give an appearance of distancing themselves from the filth, and move into position for any leadership contest

I hope this marks the end of the Tory government. I know that’s too good to be true. Even if they called a GE I imagine they’d hold on to power.

I wonder which white, pale, rich male will be waiting in the wings (or female but seems unlikely and no improvement).

BJ is a millionaire (and married to a millionaire) with many lucrative ‘jobs’ in the pipeline. Unless you hate the poor, hate the working class, hate the NHS, hate the disabled, hate the LGBT+ community and hate the rest of the UK I wouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tory scum.

LoobiJee · 05/07/2022 18:43

Interesting that, of all the past examples which could have been regarded by senior male Conservatives as evidence of lack integrity or lack of competence sufficient to trigger a resignation letter, the incident that finally triggered resignation letters was a senior male Conservative groping junior male Conservatives and then being given a job.

Unless he resigns, he's got to find someone to fill those roles. That would be career limiting to anyone picking them up. Nads for Chancellor?

Sajid for PM and Rishi back as chancellor is my guess.

MarshaBradyo · 05/07/2022 18:41

Out the frying pan into the fire.

nicely taking U.K. to burnt toast

Mollyollydolly · 05/07/2022 18:40

I really hope Saj wins any leadership bid. He seems relatively sensible, and as things stand there's every chance they could still win the next election. He's seemed sensible at health and doesn't seem depraved, which is a start.

FigRollsAlly · 05/07/2022 18:40

Wonder what Nadhim Zahawi will do. Hasn’t he said some sensible things on sex education recently?

AmaryIlis · 05/07/2022 18:40

Gove was looking very thoughtful this morning. Is he the next?

MarshaBradyo · 05/07/2022 18:38

With some of the more popular party members leaving, it’ll be interesting to see where the party is headed.

I don’t want to see it as I think those leaving are better at what they do

Although I also like Wallace and Kwarteng

80 seat majority to this mess, so depressing

Government has hours left, not days. Oh well. I'm sure a properly socialist government will be installed in no time.

Out the frying pan into the fire.

Provenceinthesummer · 05/07/2022 18:38

So glad Sajid has resigned he is useless!! But it does rather indicate a leadership battle potentially on BOTH parties now. Jesus not great for the county that needs focused minds.

I am surprised Sunak lasted this long - it’s far nicer to spend the summer on a Mediterranean yacht you know than scrambling over a cost of living crisis.

Rogue1001MNer · 05/07/2022 18:37

But which of the twunts will replace him?

@BreadInCaptivity

And (potentially) good news for children.
