Any more, do we think?
Not Raab, he can't find his crayons.

Wow the timing. Johnson can't appoint - or find more to the point- successors can he?

Loud guffaw

Two top ministers gone in a matter of minutes is serious shit. Has this ever happened before, or something similar ?

HOLY SHIT. I did not see those resignations coming. Wow.

Next to go I reckon

• Shapps
• Zahawi
• Simon Clark at The Treasury maybe

Raab & Gove will hang on

I'm very impatient, two isn't enough. Who is going to be next.

A 1971 album by The Who springs to mind. Patel ? Truss ??

Wow. I let a big woop when I heard about Sunak and Javid. I've had bottle of Prosecco in the fridge since it looked hairy for Johnson in January (pre Ukraine invasion). Is it nearly time to come out?

I've been around a long time and can't remember co-ordination of two top Ministers like this resigning within minutes of each other.

That cabinet meeting this morning... the glum faces means more than we realised.

We'll know he's out if Dorries quits - I mean she's eaten kangaroo "parts" so she'll swallow anything....

Hogg will hang about. No doubt Mad Nada and Reichsfuhrer Patel will stay as well

I ran to find husband, shouting Javids gone, went back to TV and had to run out again shouting Sunaks gone. I'm not sure he believed me.

Mogg

I'm calling Zahawi , Gove.

However they do NOT NOT get to redeem themselves by resigning.

It’s a interesting the LBC Andrew Marr conversation is speculating what will happen if BJ decides to throw a strop and just walk out (completely believably possible).

Maybe Zelinsky will take him in for a while? Will Raab or Gove step in to the gap?

I think she'll hang on. I think he's done if Zahawi goes, he's a pretty shrewd one and if he goes I think it will be all over.

To be fair looking at the faces at the cabinet meeting it could be any of them.

Please let Mogg go. He's a prick.

Raab has said he's not going. Shocker.

Good old Civil Service. Piss them off at your peril.

Would Therese Coffey go?

I want to see that fuckers tears. The open contempt that man has for everyone is disgusting.

Would recommend Marr show. It's great stuff.
