Johnson has fired Gove

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer chap.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is actually worse than Trump - he was just deluded. This is sheer arrogance and hubris. He genuinely believes he is more important than ANYTHING. It’s embarrassing.

I don't want Boris to go. It is like WW2 when the allies ruled out an assassination attempt on Hitler because his terrible decisions where helping Germany lose the war. I hope he clings on and leads the Tories to a historic defeat. If he thinks he is being ousted then may be he will want to take them with him and call an election😂.

It's like one of those awful bitter break-ups where two people are reduced to jabbing fingers at each other and shouting, 'no! You can't dump me because I'm dumping you! You're dumped! I said it first!'

I give BoJo a week. If the whole cabinet resigns then surely it's game over.

May have snort laughed at the news 😁

Are we just going to end up with Boris, Nadine and JRM

They're all snakes especially the new chancellor

The person at the BBC choosing the photos to go with these announcements seems to be having fun.

Christ, this is incredibly embarrassing. The man needs to find some self respect and resign. No one, anywhere, can possibly think he’s the right man to lead the country anymore.

Do we know which Tory MP is due to do the press tomorrow morning?

They are in for a ride.

It's extraordinary

A No 10 source said: "You can't have a snake who is not with you on any of the big arguments who then gleefully tells the press the leader has to go."

A No 10 source with the initials BJ?

One of the best tweets I read this evening -

One Tory MP's response when I asked them about tonight's events: "Each time my phone rings I am terrified he's calling to offer me a job."

What the actual fuck is going on in there (#10)!

I keep picturing Boris as Kenneth Williams's Caesar shrieking "infamy, infamy, they've all got in in for me!"

He's not the first to call Give a snake though... wasn't that a repeated civil service comment about the Gove penis when he and sarah vine announced their divorce?

This explain why Larry the Downing Street cat spent 10 minutes sitting outside the front door of Number Ten.
Didn't want to get the boot.

They've got a little ticker on the screen on BBC News showing the running total of resignations since yesterday. It's 41 now. I think it was 38 when we switched on.

They've listened to all the advice about not drinking at work and now they've all finally sobered up and realise they actually hate each other?

It’s basically turned into a sketch from The Thick Of It.

I think it boils down to Johnson not wanting to be filmed leaving No.10, getting into that car and going to Buck House to tell the Queen he's leaving.

I bet her face was picture when she heard the news.

That episode got binned because it was too unbelievable.

@SunflowerGardens

Yes! 😂
