Previous thread.

Do we think anything else will happen tonight? Just contemplating going to bed early (for me) in preparation for another big day on Politics Watch tomorrow!

White lines
My way

Oh! Maybe I'll wait until 11!

Perhaps this comment should be on the other thread about Boris and his BJs😊

So much for the white Catholic wedding at Westminster cathedral for the extremely devoted pair......

Bone being wheeled out on Newsnight.

BBC says PM not expected to resign tonight.

And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going)

Interesting resignation letter:

Edward Argar (Health) has resigned. Do these people not go to bed?!

🤯 A remarkable day in Westminster. 43 resignations in under 30 hours (+1 pretty 🔥🔥🔥 sacking):

🔷 3 Cabinet Ministers
🔷 15 Ministers
🔷 20 PPS
🔷 4 Trade Envoys
🔷 1 Vice Chair

But the Prime Minister clings on.

Spreadsheet attached in tweet

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.

His 'setting fire to the rain '

Tom Larkin's spreadsheet already out of date

44 resignations and counting

Carrie and another just walked through the door
Like a Queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
She's ambushed me with a cake ( in my face)

Oh

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to ..

Bone is saying (backed up by Wark) that the opposition should call a confidence vote in the government! That is crazy, it would unite the Tories. Why would Labour do that?

"Allegedly she's already gone.... And also allegedly he's already had another affair/impregnated his hairdresser"

He has a hairdresser ?

About the only thing that's not been in there yet.

Finally found somewhere I can voice my thoughts on this! DH isn’t as interested as me.

I’m beginning to wonder what it’ll take for Boris to resign?!

The new chancellor's wife runs a riding school :
Just saying !

I’m beginning to wonder if he can’t resign.

Is that like another middle aged sociopath not being able to sweat?

I love how this is almost the universal reaction to this news

mirror and DM editors (assistant and guest I think) said that it was technically possible for BJ to resign as leader but remain the PM - does any one know if that’s true?

(They’re both pretty scathing otherwise btw)

44 resignations and a sacking = 45

Careful with the hairdresser stuff, we don't want the thread pulled!

Fair

I actually heard the word arse mentioned in PMQs today. Sadly the world is going literally mad.
