Johnson has fired Gove

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer chap.

Surely there’s only a certain amount of resignations and firings before he doesn’t have enough people in the cabinet to govern? Is that a thing? Or are they all easily replaceable?

Who needs a box set tonight?!
Gove has been sacked for the third time now

Gove didn't turn up with the coke.

The Queens probably thinking for FUCK SAKE why won't these dicks just give me peace, I'm sodding 96 years old

Zahawi was always one I thought was ok but he blamed it all on Alastair Campbell this morning which was utterly bizarre

Perhaps he's being very considerate and wants to avoid making her travel back from Balmoral.

No, me neither.

Oh, Malcolm Tucker, where the fucking fuck are you when we need you like Blinky Ben needs a media trainer the most?

This is utterly delightful. Having the Tories turn on each other and completely destroy the party is beautiful to watch. They’re all as bad as each other and fingers crossed it’ll destroy their electability.

Did you hear about Alastair Campbell getting the blame?

😬

I think he's going to dissolve parliament and call an election

Which makes me nervous as this is the country that elected this muppet and voted for brexit

Oh yes you are right

We should all have a phones near us, because at this rate, he will start to call us to offer cabinet positions

They’ll just hire agency staff, it’s their answer to people striking!

Oh I just love this messy Tory drama. The longer it drags in the more damage it does to their party. The 22 Committee messed up by giving him until next week. How awful for them all...

Hasn’t Alastair Campbell been basically irrelevant for years?

I reckon they’ll open up a Nightingale cabinet space. Put a call out for volunteer MPs, your country needs you type thing. There’ll be 10 mins training, a briefing with the press officer whose written the volunteers new profiles of how Marge’s volunteering at the British Red Cross on a Sunday was commendable work and now has skills directly transferable to being say, Education Secretary.

All sorted and nothing to see here. Next scandal!

I think I may need to take a trip to Uxbridge and Ruslip to help the opposition party leaflet everyone of voting age.

Maybe there is an army of agency cabinet ministers who can take over, like there is an army of supply teachers

You really couldn't make it up, could you.

I cant wait to see what Michael Spicer does with all of this.

They are called Her Majesty's Opposition.

I think he's been secretly waiting to find a time to sack Gove since Gove knifed him in the back in 2016. BJ seems like the type to bear a grudge.

Soon it will just be BJ, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nadine Dorries, hiding in a fridge together. He will only resign if Carrie tells him to.

Yep! We laughed when the door at No. 10 was opened earlier and he declined the invitation to come on in!

@minou123 hope he makes me chancellor. Petrol is now 15p a litre...free wine for everybody. Free period products and boxes of chocolates for women on their periods - not that Dairy Box shite. Ceiling fans will be installed for women age 40+. Heating bills for homes with children, ill or disabled people and pensioners will be paid for by the government. Free childcare for everyone. Lower rate of tax for people who don't benefit from the above measures just to be fair.

Please can someone explain what it means by 'levelling up minister' sorry if its a stupid question.
