Gove staying!

AmaryIlis · 05/07/2022 19:06

Perhaps he'll try and bring Hancock back?

ancientgran · 05/07/2022 19:06

Gove staying according to Sky.

Cornettoninja · 05/07/2022 19:06

isnt he due to do PMQ’s tomorrow? I don’t want him to go to soon if it means I miss out on that amazing beasting.

Where are all the posters who come on at these moments to say "Boris is going nowhere"? 🤔

Wondering wtf just happens probably.

my initial excitement is dying down, I reckon Boris will cling on by his bloodied fingertips. He just can’t accept defeat or humility on any level.

Sunak

Staying
Raab
Truss
Wallace
Trevelyan
Kwarteng

Patel: Lol she'd never work as a minister again.
Mogg: Lol
Dorries: Lol

Suspiciously quiet
Barclay

Zahawi: Rumour is he and his team have gone MIA
Eustace

Braverman? Surely she fancies herself picking up the Ministry of Justice in a reshuffle?

But the longer he hangs on, the better the chances of getting the Tories out at the next election, so win-win, really.

Oh my. He's-Smug just said he has no desire to serve under another prime minister. Which is probably just as well as who on earth would give him a job? He really is appalling. Shudder.

Roussette · 05/07/2022 19:14

We're fucked aren't we. The worst Government imaginable. Johnson scratching around to find loyalists, and irrelevant whether they're capable of any posts he might shoehorn them into.

Agreed, he's got to last at least another 18 hours.

Andrew Morriston, PM’s trade envoy to Morocco resigns

cakeorwine · 05/07/2022 19:19

Just watched Rees-Mogg on Channel 4

Talking about Lord Salisbury who was PM in the 19th Century

Via Lewis Goodall

A Tory MP texts: “Anyone who accepts a promotion now will be on the back benches by Christmas. Or perhaps even by recess.”

vera99 · 05/07/2022 19:25

When he said he wanted to stay in power until 2030 it was the time he was referring to....

Roussette · 05/07/2022 19:27

Andrew Murrison MP, Trade Envoy, resigned

Brutal letter

Roussette · 05/07/2022 19:28

Sorry Duncin missed your update Smile

Was at training with ds and saw the Apple news bulletin.

HannahSternDefoe · 05/07/2022 18:15

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

Grin
vera99 · 05/07/2022 19:31

Maybe he can whip up a furious mob of Neo-nazis to storm parliament and hang Rees-Mogg. That'd be entertaining.

Saucery · 05/07/2022 19:31

Chris Bryant on Ch4 News, being brilliant as usual.

newnamethanks · 05/07/2022 19:32

Isn't Carrie a 'communications specialist'?

That could also translate as "Because I want to BE Prime Minister".
