Claudine inspired choice suggested by Hugh Grant it seems

"Morning @snb19692 Glad you have your speakers back. Do you by any chance have the Benny Hill music to hand?"

Who are these people he’s appointed to his new cabinet? Do you think he sent out a mass email saying ‘anyone fancy a job?!’ He must have been really scraping the barrel

They just don't learn

Foreign Office Minister Vicky Ford appears unable to rely on what the PM has told her.

She says the PM claims he reported his meeting with Alexander Lebedev to officials.

"That is my understanding...This is not me being misleading... I'm reporting what I have been told."

I think its anyone who was left without a job, gets to pick what they fancy. They all get a role with some ministerial roles abolished.

Its when we get a position for Peter Bone, Mark Francois and Michael Fabricant you know thats the bottom of the said barrel.

Someone said earlier that Brandon Lewis was offered multiple posts last night and he turned them all down

I feel quite sorry for the HR people trying to process and keep up with all these resignations and appointments

I love Steve Bray and dob a few quid in his hat he's had 250k in donations in the last few months.

If I was Beth Rigby I wouldn't be bothering to write down these new appointments

And in cases like this, supervised and escorted from the building with only his personal belongings packed with or for him.

Starting to get nervous that now he’s got his new furniture in order he will decide he’s not going to resign after all

Jesus, I’m repeatedly stunned that this is where we are.

The idea that Boris stays on whilst a new leader is elected but gets sacked for his admission to 1922 he met with lebedev without escort was just posited on JOB.

If people like Patel and Zahawi are staying in post, it'll be interesting to see how they reconcile that with telling him that he needed to resign. Surely if he was unfit to continue to be PM last night, he's still unfit this morning and the fact that he says he will go in October won't change that? No world leader is going to treat him as anything other than a laughing stock, and do we really want him with his hands on the government cheque book and with the power to send the armed forces to war?

Absolutely not.

No no no no no!

Get your lardy arse out

quoting myself to wonder if he could be done for treason?

Hmmm they're trying that with Trump?

Trump to be in orange jumpsuit and Johnson in the Scrubs?

He needs to stay on to grant all those peerages he's promised.
Arise Lord Dacre.

Johnson should be 'escorted from the UK' actually. Out. Now. No dithering. We can crowdfund a plane / inflatable. Priti can go with him. Off to Rwanda & see how they like it. No coming back.

12.30 statement according to Sky

Will he be on time, will his hair be brushed

I'm absolutely certain of the truth of this

Just too beautiful to come true.

Just idly looking at treason - petty treason might be an option?

Just for you
