Are you watching the live feed of No10?

I wish there was a "LarryCam" Grin
not when he pays a visit to his litter tray though 😸

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

🤣

Unconfirmed as yet.

the80sweregreat · 06/07/2022 20:39

They never answer those questions on the foot step do they ? Waste of breath

the80sweregreat · 06/07/2022 20:39

Front door step I meant

I've just seen this. He's a Cabinet Minister Shock

How can this go on?

Will they just have to change the locks when BJ is out?

My suggestion for the playlist- Kenny Rogers' The Gambler

Lonelycrab · 06/07/2022 20:40

Well this is uncharted territory.

Thanks for the new thread. What a couple of days😳

The Chancellor, Nadhim Zahawi, refuses to answer questions on whether he still supports the Prime Minister, or whether he told the PM to resign this evening. Also refuses to say whether he’d launch a leadership bid himself.

Interesting. It was on LBC news as a tweet. Now deleted.

What's the resignation count?

itsgettingweird · 06/07/2022 20:41

What about "when love and hate collide" by Def leopard?

Boris loves himself. We hate him.

tobee · 06/07/2022 20:42

Still 38 says Sky @DuncinToffee

TokyoSushi · 06/07/2022 20:42

Oh Brandon Lewis maybe not resigned after all!

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

Yes I love that song.

the80sweregreat · 06/07/2022 20:42

The winner takes it all will be on Alexa when he finally leaves! Along with ' another one bites the dust '
Oh and honestly by Billy Joel because ian mair played it earlier on and he can write a lyric or two that man.

Outside of the UK at the moment, other countries are looking on as if it’s a pantomime, it’s embarrassing.

Cornettoninja · 06/07/2022 20:42

the point will ricochet off the more ardent pro-brexit supporters, but given it’s been said repeatedly that BJ was the only one who could push it through I wonder if anyone is sensing that if this is the kind of person needed that perhaps the whole thing is just as corrupt and blinkered as the only man apparently able to achieve it.
