Told a delegation of three cab ministers - Zahawi, Hart and Lewis (who is currently in Belfast) have made it clear to chief whip it’s time for PM to go. This trio say his position now untenable.

I am enjoying this

"The Cabinet delegation that will tell the PM to go:

Nadhim Zahawi
Grant Shapps
Brandon Lewis
Simon Hart

It will NOT include Michael Gove - he feels he did his bit this morning - but he's still not ruling out quitting"

Wonder what Gove did this morning?

It's too early to start drinking but soon won't be...

I'm about to crack open the gin!

This must be good because I am missing Nadal at Wimbledon for this. They are saying what so so many want to say to him.

I'm supposed to be alcohol free tonight. No bloody chance.

Chris Bryant - Did you say all the sex pests are supporting me, or words to that effect?

Boris Johnson - People attribute all sorts of things to me... I don't remember

Chris Bryant - That sounds like a yes

34 now?!

Women's Euros start tonight, I can't watch twitter and the footie at the same time

35 according to BBC and Sky

He's really starting to get cross now!

Nadhim Zahawi's having a rollercoaster week.

Looks like he has no confidence in the man that made him Chancellor. What a difference nine hours and 45 mins make.

I'm almost embarrassed for the delusional man.

Kwateng has joined the group waiting in Number 10.

Kwarteng and Trevelyan have joined the delegation in No 10

You think Carrie is stripping the wall paper?

He’s going to double down isn’t he?

Just like Trump, Johnson is being treated like a toddler.

35 now

"You think Carrie is stripping the wall paper?"

No. I think she's the sort of person who redecorates annually (at somebody else's cost).

Do we know who the latest ones are?

Have we got to the stage yet where it's quicker to count who hasn't resigned?

Raab appears to have only lasted 5 minutes with the 1922 Exec!

Sara Britcliffe and Ruth Edwards

Presumably that noise was him stamping his feet under the desk

I'm going to call it.

Definitely Game Over land at this point.

And no despite the hot air, Johnson won't call an election. We are past that. He doesn't have enough support in the party to run an election on a practical level, even if he tried a deselect option. He needs the manpower of the party and even the loyal grassroots will think this an untenable shit show.
