Here we go

DuncinToffee · 06/07/2022 16:16

Mike Freer makes 32

tobee · 06/07/2022 16:17

Although Mike Freer apparently worried about govt lgbt+ issues. Ok then

So Huw Merriman resigned whilst questioning Johnson in the Select Committee? This is becoming a blood sport. 😬

"Huw Merriman’s sitting opposite me at the liaison committee. Pretty sure he actually looked Johnson in the eye when he pressed send on this. Oh the drama."

Did I understand it correctly, his talents are being UNDERESTIMATED???

DuncinToffee · 06/07/2022 16:24

Not quite, Huw Merriman sent a letter of no confidence not a resignation.
He asked a question moments later

Notonthestairs · 06/07/2022 16:26

Ah thanks Duncin. I've lost all track. 🤷🏼‍♀️

New: A group of cabinet ministers are about to tell the PM to resign in No10, including the chief whip, the BBC understands. Simon Hart is also one of them. He made it clear to No10 yesterday that it was “game over” but it shouldn’t have to come by ministerial resignations.

Blimey. They're putting BJ through the wringer in the Liaison Committee.

He's tried vaccines and getting on with the job and it's not working. He's very agitated, shouting and red faced at times

mbosnz · 06/07/2022 16:31

I wonder if they've got a defib' close. . .

Notonthestairs · 06/07/2022 16:33

Do we think he'll go for bust & call an election?

Notonthestairs · 06/07/2022 16:34

"PM just made a clear hint that he feels he could be forced to go to the Palace and request a dissolution if his "mandate" isn't respected."

cakeorwine · 06/07/2022 16:34

He's getting annoyed

Roussette · 06/07/2022 16:34

Chris Bryant is good at this. He always is.

BJ deserves this grilling for the uncertainty, the lying, the trivialising of sexual assault, and the mess we're in now.

itsgettingweird · 06/07/2022 16:35

Oooohhhhhh - he may combust!

itsgettingweird · 06/07/2022 16:36

He won't even say that Neil Parish should have resigned!

Or that Pincher should.

He's a fucking coward. Angry

Roussette · 06/07/2022 16:37

Another resignation. Mark Fletcher. 33

YogaLite · 06/07/2022 16:37

If he goes to the Queen then he may bring the royals down to his level, now THAT would be even more of a circus.

vera99 · 06/07/2022 16:37

GET EXIT DONE !

itsgettingweird · 06/07/2022 16:38

"This is a bit of captain hindsight"

Boom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

mbosnz · 06/07/2022 16:39

I've just heard that Nadhim Zahawi has resigned?!

Igotjelly · 06/07/2022 16:39

A group of Cabinet Ministers to go to the PM tonight to tell him to resign.

YogaLite · 06/07/2022 16:40

Carrie must be so proud!

ClaudineClare · 06/07/2022 16:41

Notonthestairs · 06/07/2022 16:33

He might do.
