Sajid Javid just resigned

[achillestoes]

That’s all.

Holy shit I wonder who is next, this is huge. Potentially more to come as this was so synchronised timing wise.

Pleased people in such positions aren't blindly supporting BJ but then also scared they'll replaced by people who do...

And realistically if BJ goes, who are we going to get in his place?

I mean I swing from anyone is better to fuck, Rees-Mogg exists.

Oh, thank feck for that. SOMEONE has to have some balls in that party.

And another fecking crappy 'I didn't realise it was wrong' apology from BJ.

Oops crosspost. Sorry, ZaraSizeMedium.

Sunak as well. Boris is toast surely.

Yes.

I wonder what Wallace will do

there’s no one left really

The end is nigh 😃

Sunak's letter

His demons being what? Misogyny, racism, the inability to be a non corrupt PM, and breaking lockdown laws?

Thats quite some demons.

Anyway the rats have taken awhile to flee the sinking ship, surely Boris can’t ignore this on top of everything that last couple of months? He has thankfully made the conservatives unvoteable to many.

Government has hours left, not days. Oh well. I'm sure a properly socialist government will be installed in no time.

A carefully crafted bid for party leadership. Setting out what the key messages in his “pitch” to membership will be.

People have their own perceptions. I don’t think Johnson is a misogynist or a racist. A lech and a lazy drunk, possibly. But anyway, let’s agree on one thing: the fat lady is singing.

Come on Liz Truss, you next please.

I think he's an absolutely abominable sociopath

And another carefully crafted pitch for party leadership. I notice he fails to mention the self-inflicted harm of Brexit in his list of economic challenges.

Rishi Sunak's letter says 'resigning from the Government'.
Does that mean leaving the Tory party?

I am very happy for the Queen. It must have been a disappointment thinking of that being the PM your long reign goes out on. She's dealt with some titans of politics in her time, imagine facing finishing up with that actual muppet?

She'll maybe have time to see Biden off too.

That would be nice.

@SudokuMania No - it means leaving ministerial office

@Clymene

Don’t hold back, now. 😂

😅

The timing is such that Boris's replacements will be in situ well before the next General election and will have hoped to have undone the self-inflicted damage by then.

Wonder if we will see Wallace follow suit.

He's popular with the grass roots of the party so if he can get to the final two he's got a real shot at the leadership.

All still assumes Boris will go quietly though and I don't think he will.

It's going to take changing the 1922 rules to shoehorn that bugger out.

Balls? He folded pretty quick with the compulsory vaccinations for NHS staff.

I hope Johnson doesn’t try to force a GE I’d rather see him taken out
