Sajid Javid just resigned

[achillestoes]

That’s all.

Recent by elections show you’re wrong. Remind me how big the majorities were in Tiverton and North Shropshire?

The Labour party have no alternative vision to let-the-rich-get-richer-and-poor-poorer capitalism. The country has completely lost its way now, it doesn't even have the ability to mention alternatives. As such they can only compete with the Tories on faces, like a bloody cosmetic company. And they haven't got one.

Anyone else think the timing is interesting? Prime time on a Monday.

Good christ, no. I say that as a Scot.

Oh god no Scotland can have her

Johnson needs to go. He’s a joke. I hope Rishi doesn’t end up being PM I can’t stand him.

It’s Tuesday. 😂

That was just a protest vote - when it comes to an election it will be blue again.

Just keep everything crossed we don't end up with Penny Mordaunt. She's an outsider but with a lot of support. If we do .. it'll be all over re self id etc. Anyone but Mordant.

I wonder whether Conservative candidates seriously have any stomach to go out there on the campaign trial trying to defend the indefensible, day after day after day?

Some protest vote.

No chance. Rishi will be held responsible for trashing the economy. He resigned too late.

Rishi is a tax evading rich kid. He's no chance.

Poor Rishi got taken out

They hadn't counted on Mick Lynch being so popular though 😂.

They hoped he'd be demonised and by god their media friends tried. Unfortunately for them, the eloquent, intelligent, honest and downright likeable Mick Lynch handed them their arses on on a plate.

Yeah, I obviously got overexcited or drunk on popcorn or something! Prime time is right though.

Agree, she would be a disaster for us. Caroline Nokes is another one who would be very bad news so I hope she’s not a contender either.

He might be likeable but even he can’t bring about grid lock by striking.

everyone just logs in to zoom instead now 😀 (usual disclaimer re those who can’t)

I'm betting on his resignation before tomorrow. They've handed him the opportunity to walk away and go on to lap up his perceived successes.

Fair point about Tiverton/North Shropshire, Blossom, but there can be a very big difference between local and general elections

And I don't say this because I want Boris and his rabble to continue, just that I honestly believe it could easily happen

This is encouraging news. Hopefully it's the end of the Dishonourable Boris Johnson.
I today emailed Mr Javid to thank him for everything he started with turning the tide on the erasure of women and our rights and to let him know that I would be proud to have him as our PM.

I sincerely hope the odeous Sunak is long gone, along with BJ, never to taint the Tories again, as he has done over the last several years with his horrendpus management of government funds in a time of crisis just to line his own and his greedy mates pockets, whilst rinsing the public dry.

Don’t count your chickens just yet - I’m ashamed to admit I voted for them last time. I will be voting Lib Dem next time and I’m never voting Tory ever again. I know I’m not the only person who feels this way.

The Tories will have lost the red wall that got them over the line last time and by the time of the next election the cost of living crisis will really have hit home / along with the harsh realities of Brexit.

Huge difference between a by-election and the real thing.

But my money would be on a hung Parliament.

Now Tory vice chair Bim Afolami has resigned live on air!

He might be likeable but even he can’t bring about grid lock by striking.

I am aware of that being one of the many who can WFH. My point was the government deliberately didn't negotiate with him because they thought the public would be against him when actually he became pretty popular.
