Only a tiny one?..
So, Raab takes over. I've a feeling he will like that a lot : until a media pundit points out that he was only telling us how good Boris Johnson was only the other weekend in fact.
Still, he'll brush that off , go on about strong and stable government and delivering for the people at. and then go on holiday for a few weeks.

Depends on whether the sea is closed.

Honestly I'd rather winky, professional Sun seeker, tiny MAJORITY Raab was in No 10 than Johnson.

Great title 😂😊

Thanks for new thread! Great title!

I'm not sure I would, he handled the Afghan crisis abysmally.

Raab has this annoying habit of just chat chat chat ( a bit like Nicola Sturgeon) but when I actually try and listen to it I realize it's a lot about nothing really. You can tell he is a trained lawyer

He will be DESPERATE to get the Queens's funeral gig

He'll still be invited to the Queens funeral though surely ? With his connections etc it's a shoe in.
All the old PMs will go too.

Golden future indeed !
More like a bloody muddy horrible dog turd colored one at the local park.
Whoever takes over will have a lot to deal with
It's not pretty what is coming for any of us !
:(

I need to dig out my tinfoil hat as I believe he's going nowhere. No idea what fucked up game he's playing but there's definitely one afoot.

Very good call of John Major’s.

Everyone who hasn't already resigned now explaining why.

Next up, Larry: "Night after night, crouching beside mouseholes, I asked myself how I could justify staying on. But then, how could I justify leaving? It was never a certainty that I would be replaced. That a pool of feline talent exists cannot be denied. And yet the office of Chief Mouser has, in the past, been allowed to fall into abeyance. During those dark years, rodents flourished mightily."

"EXCL: Boris Johnson and wife Carrie are planning big wedding bash at Chequers within weeks - with sources saying it's part of reason he wants to stay as caretaker."

Fucks sakes. No wonder he thanked Chequers staff first.

My first thought as well.

He is presenting this as a decision by the small Parliamentary party, that doesn't reflect what the 'real' Tory party wants. He will spend the summer plotting and campaigning.

Surprise

The tax payer will be funding some of this wedding party at Chequers. then as they will need security and staff there and I suppose that all comes out of our taxes ?
I just hope he pays for a lot of it out of his big pay off for ( not) resigning.

I'm sure Lord Brownlow has thrown in some cash to help them out.

If it's just for his party I'm sure Raab or whoever is caretaker will lend him Chequers for a few days. We just need him out.

I Hope Dominic Raab tells him no way matey
Find your own venue and pay for it yourself !
He won't , but it would be good if he did.

Classy

Here's Conservative ultra-loyalist MP Andrea Jenkyns sticking her finger up at the crowds outside Downing Street as they sing "bye, bye Boris".

The word 'Caretaker ' to me conjures up my old school one who lived near to the premises , wore old grubby beige overalls and was as grumpy as anything !
Nothing like the very sun tanned gym bunny , karate expert ex lawyer Raab.
I think he'll love the limelight for a while too.

Parris suggests that the process of finding a new leader could take as little as 5 weeks
Lazy* *slackers. There's only a few hundred of them, they all work together, know each other, they all (OK a good many) dream of being PM.
3 days to put your name forward to stand.
3 days to print out the voting forms and horse trade. Single Transferable Vote so you just list the candidates in preference order and your vote gets moved on to the next person should a more preferred one be knocked out.
1 day to collect and submit your vote.
That's a week.

5 weeks! FFS.
