Nadine was talking on LBC to Rachel Johnson. Nadine thinks there should be a General Election because Rishi doesn't have a mandate!

Turned my phone off for the evening.
Well, what a turn up

If Rees Mogg is relegated to the back benches I shall cheer. Self serving leech. Same for Coffey and Gullis.

Hunt has done a good job of steadying the markets though I never had much time for him previously.

Braverman is a worry, I suspect she may have been bought off with the promise of a place in the cabinet. Ditto Badenoch.

She followed that by tweeting

Boris would have won members vote - already had a mandate from the people. Rishi and Penny, despite requests from Boris refused to unite which would have made governing utterly impossible.
Penny actually asked him to step aside for her. It will now be impossible to avoid a GE.

Johnson has made fools of people again.

STOP PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST YOU FUCKERS. YOU'VE RELENTLESSLY SHAT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WIRH YOUR MANIC CULTIST SCHEMES ! WE NEED GOVERNANCE!

He's a liar and never had anywhere near 100 supporters. I've been to a gig this evening and the news has made my day.

He flew back all that way just to have his arse handed to him. It is sweeeet.

Meanwhile....

Big Dog fucks off!!!!!

Excellent news.

Johnson really does have a sense of inflated ego.

"I'd have had the support"
"I'm the one with the mandate"
"I wanted to unite the party but it's clear Sunak and Mourdant don't want that".

Obviously nothing to do with the fact the party don't want a lying liability in charge again.

The daily Mail are going with Rishi sunak as the new PM

It has to be.

I'd rather a GE but as that will happen over the Tory's dead bodies the next choice is someone who actually understands economics.

I won't like what he's going to do but I would like the country being bankrupt less!

I feel it's true what I read in the Guardian in the comments page a while ago , we will get to where Liz Truss wanted us to be with Rishi sunak only he'll go about it the long way round.
I kind of understand this.
I wonder which job he'll give Boris Johnson?

I hope he makes Johnson Minister of Fuck All.

Chap who knows Johnson well on BBC just now talking about his absolute narcissism. Analysed the arrogance of his statement and very tellingly said Boris will not be that bothered because he finds it so easy to blame everyone else. Doesn't believe at all that he had 100 MPs. Yet more evidence of how easily lies come to him.

Didn't catch his name but he appeared to be a friend!

With friends like this , who needs enemies eh ?

Either Johnson has a personal mandate so once he left there needed to be a GE.

Or we elect the party so any majority party leader is the PM.

They can't run both arguments.

@Piggywaspushed he was something to do with communications I think. He was pretty damningly honest.

Glimmers of hope that this kind of appalling dishonest ego doesn’t belong in UK politics?

(I want to hear how JRM is going to spin this. Hope nanny had some warm milk and a story ready for him at bedtime yesterday).

I think that’s the brexit opportunities position isn’t it?

Piggy was he on R4? If so it, his name is Guy Hands

His warning about the economy

Billionaire banker and former president of the Oxford University Conservative association, Guy Hands, tells #r4today that the Conservative Party and Brexit is turning Britain into the "sick man of Europe" with a "doomed" economy that will eventually need bailing out by the IMF.
Guy Hands says that if the Conservatives "own up to the mistake they made" and pick a leader with "the intellectual capability and the authority to renegotiate Brexit, there is a possibility of turning around the economy, but without that the economy is frankly doomed."

We know Johnson is the turd that won't flush. I suspect he will be back in the cabinet this week. That's why he's back, he has no shame.
