Javid

Sunak

Guillis (PPS to sec of state to NI)

Clarke (trade envoy to Kenya)

Afolami (Tory vice chair) resigned live on air 🤭

Murrison- (trade envoy to Morocco)

Chaulk- (solicitor general)

Macdonald (wrote damning letter that started this avalanche)

Please add more names as they abandon the sinking ship

Remember these cowards voted for him in the confidence vote literally two minutes ago because they were on the payroll. I've never heard of any of these people (apart from neanderthal guy) or their positions.

So it wasn't the cheating on his cancer striken [sic] wife

Marina Wheeler was diagnosed with cancer in May 2019 - nearly a year after they had separated (summer of 2018) and after she had obtained a decree nisi in divorce proceedings.

But when did the affair start?

I wonder how many sweeteners (tax cuts) Nadhim Zahawi is going to start throwing about to try and keep the public on side ...

There is one out today but it was planned already -

Apparently Zahawi said he wanted to be Chancellor or he'd quit too. Sounds like a man after Boris' heart - fuck what's best for the country as long as I get the job I want.

Lets have Rees-Mogg in as Foreign Secretary, Cruella da Priti as Home Secretary and Dorries can do all the other jobs.

Robert Halfon MP has put a letter of no confidence up ( not resigned from anything)

He and Sajid Javid were friends at university (year below me. Kind of knew them both),

Spring 2018 which is why they separated in the summer of 2018 and Marina Wheeler started divorce proceedings. Boris Johnson didn't start the affair knowing his wife had cancer though - which is clearly what GreenLunchBox is claiming.

Suicidal move by him. He'll be the shortest-lived chancellor in history. 😂

What will they all do now they've resigned? Are they rich enough to not work or will they find something else to do

It would be amusing if Keir Starmer received a fixed penalty notice today. Wink

Victoria Atkins...number 16 to go

They are still MPs, just resigned from positions held I think

None of this is going to make things any less shit because at the end of the day we'll still have Tory government, but for now I'm enjoying the schadenfreude.

Looks like Zahawai is now calling for BJ to resign 😳 you couldn't make this up
