Thanks.

Thread 10 and he's going - not quite gone!

I have a horrible feeling Cummings is right - he hasn’t ACTUALLY said ‘I am resigning’ has he? Just some vague shit about ‘the herd’ telling him they want a change of leader, and him agreeing, but not yet and not saying when - and then carrying on as normal!

I think he genuinely things this will all blow over.

Time for Starmer to put his money where his mouth is.

Exactly what you said… my fear also

Cummings is a a very shrewd man, no matter how unlikable, and I do also fear he might be right.

Thank you InMySpareTime.

Can Johnson run in the leadership race?

I don't think Johnson is done.

Nothing is official here - we’re just taking him at his word - which as we all know is worth less than a piece of rat shit.

Don't think he can, and even if he could he wouldn't get any votes.

Thanks for new thread!

Oh my, just thinking of him entering a leadership race makes me feel ill.

Apparently Andrea Leadsom shouted at the crowds outside Downing Street "he who laughs last, laughs the loudest. Wait and see."

Aside from getting the quote wrong what is she on?

Big Dog has had his day.

Sorry Andrea Jenkyns.

Why are we suddenly trusting that Boris will do what he says he will do?

I've just read through the transcript posted on the last thread and it doesn't have the word resign anywhere in it.
I said I'd believe it when it happened and that speech skirted the issue. I don't think he believes he's done yet and that was just buying him time.

He hasn't resigned has he? He's simply agreed to a leadership race.

(F, thanks for the new thread)

That's how I read it.

Checking in! Also feel it's not quite over!

I agree that he hasn’t actually said he’s resigning

Just leaving this here: (Jonathan Pie)

summing it up perfectly as usual

Exit means exit. The Tories need to get him out of No. 10 today.

I am not sure he is gone properly either.

Urgh, so glad I was too busy too watch the lying bag of lies bullshitting nonsense whilst not actually resigning. He is truly awful and I hope they force him out before October, it's just not acceptable for him to stay now.

“I think we have to keep worrying. This from Chris Bryant

"He hasn’t resigned as PM or as Tory leader. He says he will. That’s all."

And this from a LD MP

"Resigning… but not yet … and now appointing new ministers. He’s not given up has he? This resignation stuff is just a ruse to give him a bit more time to find a way of clinging on…. Or have I turned into a conspiracy loon?"”

hope you don’t mind @Roussette I felt your post was worth bringing over to the new thread.
