Wow!

Bloody hell!

Five in one go

That's 26 now.

And another just in!

They are actually going in groups now

How will this work? The 1922 committee votes to change the rules to have another Vote of Confidence? Finds him unfit and boots him out immediately, somehow or other? Could we have Dominic Raab as an acting PM this evening?

The thing I find more depressing than anything else is that his replacement, while surely to goodness will be less embarrassing is also highly likely to do terrible damage to the country.

Golly!

The other thread is getting desperate.

Mims Davies

6 resignations within 5 minutes!

27 and counting

You and your pesky facts

Where's the other thread I want to rubber neck the car crash. Promise I won't be goady.....

Liam Fox, letter of no confidence

What other thread?!

The Johnson cheerleaders as I probably misunderstand it...

Gove telling him to go is significant.

Ds heard that the Chief Whip told Johnson to fuck off

I know it's scary ti think Johnson would call an election and win. But how would that practically happen? He's not a president. He's leader of a party that don't want him. His constituency might deselect him etc etc

Lots of speculation he won't last the day, i'm not so sure. The man is like a limpet.

Looking forward to the 3pm meeting lol lol lol 🧐😳😵‍💫😳

You will ! You're normal and rational ! I couldn't help it. But now come away for now because it's making me want to punch myself

Thinking that may be delayed

Me neither, he believes he is in post by right. I don’t believe he’s capable of listening to what is being plainly said and concluding any of this is about him, it’ll be about the people around him, the public, frosty the snowman - but not him.

I also can’t shake the memory of an MP saying over partygate that trying to oust BJ was akin to regicide. This is a cult and and I think he’ll find it hardest of all to shake.

If he does limp on, the people around him are marking themselves as devoid of morals and we’re in for a dangerous ride.

Can the Queen not call him in?

Beth Rigby says "it's always like this in final tussles" but not really. Mass resignations etc etc

I'm saying but not really not Beth
