So we’re stuck with him for a while yet.
was expecting a GE.

Ihatethenewlook · 07/07/2022 09:16

No he hasn’t. Why do people keep saying this? There’s been 3 threads in the last few minutes

11Hawkins · 07/07/2022 09:16

Fake news??

But who will replace him?

OhCobblers · 07/07/2022 09:17

Because the BBC is saying it?

PinkButtercups · 07/07/2022 09:18

So many threads on this already.

Homegettinginvaded · 07/07/2022 09:18

Hooray…it’s on BBC so definitely not fake news 🥳

Hooray

11Hawkins · 07/07/2022 09:19

@UnimpeachableBravery I'll be leaving the country if he gets it. I'd rather have Putin in power. 😬

good god, please, nooooo

I'd love to know what the final straw was that broke the camels ego and made him give in and go.

thechiefstew · 07/07/2022 09:20

It’s on the bbc website he will resign as conservative leader, but I think the pop up ‘breaking news’ just said something like Boris Johnson resigns - so maybe caused some confusion! I thought to start with it was resigning as PM disappointed now he’s here until autumn!

11Hawkins · 07/07/2022 09:20

I think Rishi or Sunak will go for it. I think Sunak would make a good PM, they need someone squeaky clean after Boris and he's been quite good.

BlackTourmaline · 07/07/2022 09:20

Well…finally

Ihatethenewlook · 07/07/2022 09:20

The bbc website which was updated 3 minutes ago is saying that despite 50 resignations Johnson is keeping his post and fighting to stay as prime minister? Have you got a link saying otherwise?

He couldn't fill cabinet spaces, they all walked out.

MrsRobinsonsHandprints · 07/07/2022 09:21

Report saying say he will make a statement... I won't believe it till the fat man sings

It’s not been announced anywhere that he’s resigned as pm, because he hasn’t

indeed. Wouldn’t be surprised if he announced a GE instead.
