Rolling up with my Abba music on standby!

Hope Clav & Janie & Getoffmyhighhorse and the other Johnson acolytes can make the cheese and wine gathering, no cake ambushes allowed.

Waterloo...

Multiple briefings to the press at the moment - BJ is not going to resign. He's saying it would cause chaos. He's going to reshuffle the cabinet and fight the VONC if it comes after the 1922 elections and possible rule change on '14m voted for me and I've got a mandate to stay'.

Cause chaos.

He's so blind to the chaos his lies have caused isn't he?

I'm actually quite worried he's genuinely got a diagnosable mental health condition and could do something really stupid.

Are we mums also allowed to resign (I fancy a night off!)...

Yup narcissism. Personality Disorder Type...

TokyoSushi · 06/07/2022 20:25

It's all gone totally bonkers! I feel very much like I did in these funny period just after the US election!

TokyoSushi · 06/07/2022 20:26

I wonder if there'll be any more 'big' resignations tonight? This isn't surprising though really!

Marking my place, thanks for the new thread Roussette

Always knew he had no integrity but his lack of self respect its just embarrassing
Christ man just resign and let us all get on with our lives

Nadine Dorries just left, face like thunder - one wag from the reporter pool bellowing "how many kids has he got?" as she left.

Bloody hell, he's the turd that won't flush!

@stayingpositiveifpossible can we add this to the playlist for the population

itsgettingweird · 06/07/2022 20:28

What do you mean by "oh dear me" staying?

I'm genuinely becoming more worried not just for the country but actually about him.

People say the same re Putin and having nothing to lose as he's dying and LD and isolation sent him a little into a rabbit hole.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if Johnson didn't have a heart attack.

He’s the sanitary towel some bright spark decided to flush.

And how many of those 14m would vote for BJ now several years on? According to the latest YouGov poll, was it less than half? Look at Tiverton and Wakefield.

He is delusional. It's all so unfair and unfathomable to BJ. He won't accept or understand just why he's not wanted anymore. Just like at school when he wasn't picked for leadership: he really couldn't understand it. I think he thinks that we are lucky to have him.

TokyoSushi · 06/07/2022 20:32

Brandon Lewis has gone

DuncinToffee · 06/07/2022 20:32

Kwarteng turned against Johnson because he found out that he was going to get sacked in the reshuffle, man of principles

HannahSternDefoe · 06/07/2022 20:33

Brandon Lewis gone.

Oh he’s got ooddles of self respect, it’s everyone else he doesn’t respect.

Brandon Lewis has quit

Saucery · 06/07/2022 20:33

wouldn't at all be surprised if Johnson didn't have a heart attack.

At least his family would be able to be with him in hospital, unlike all the people who were seriously ill and dying while he was having parties, chortling about serial sex pests in his employ and treating all the ordinary people he now believes are his “mandate” like fucking fools.

HannahSternDefoe · 06/07/2022 20:34

Tokyo ah, ya beat me, ya bugger! Grin
