When Will It All Go Wrong For The Tories/ Johnson?

[edwin_m]

Priti Patel has now joined the bandwagon in calling for Boris Johnson to resign.

Maybe she'll bully him into going.

 

[nr758123]

They'd struggle to find a less competent one!

Edit, there's always Fabricant.

Grayling, Gavin Williamson

Maybe she'll bully him into going.

She likes kicking people out of their homes.

 

[Busaholic]

Fabricant has ruled himself out of a leadership bid just now...

I always assumed he was a fictional creation - has anyone ever touched him? (excepting Chris Pincher of course.)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Nadine dorries has left, greeted with shouts of 'is it the end' and 'how many children does he have'.

Don't they know how many children he has. Very poor researching when they have to verbally express their ignorance.

BBC reporter now saying shapps may tell pm to resign. Potentially the best thing he's done since receiving his role as transport secretary

Er...

Chris Grayling's just arrived and asked for permission to park the Marie Celeste outside.

Simply not being Chris Grayling is difficult to top!

They currently wouldn’t accept us, we currently don’t have a working government, let alone one with integrity…

Lack of a functioning government hasn't done Belgium any harm for the last 2 years.

I think until recently his wikipedia page said 'at least 6'.

Does he know how many children he has?

 

[DarloRich]

As has everyone who denigrated Jeremy Corbyn at every opportunity.

hahahahahahahahaha - comedy gold. Corbyn was, is and always will be a crank. He was unfit to lead the Labour party and unfit for office. He is as big a clown as Johnson.

 

[birchesgreen]

Does he know how many children he has?

He can't count that high.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Does he know how many children he has?

I am sure that near the end, Henry VIII had lost count of the number of wives he had....

 

[HST274]

Er...

Er...?

Does he know how many children he has?

It doesn't bode well that our prime minister shares certain characteristics with Robert baratheon

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Er...?

Sorry, wasn't trying to be rude- just making a (poorly executed) joke about the best thing Shapps has done being "not being Chris Grayling", hence quoting a post that mentioned Grayling.

 

[Busaholic]

They'll be cracking open a bottle or two of the Dom Perignon 1990 vintage in the Cameron household tonight. Maybe the May's might get invited over? Oh, no, nothing quite so extreme!

 

[DarloRich]

Priti Patel has now joined the bandwagon in calling for Boris Johnson to resign.

did she find out he wasn't born in the UK?

Shapps has now left, presumably after deciding that cork would be hq of gbr.

Is he coming back?

 

[96tommy]

He's refusing to go. All feels end of days Trump. Maybe he's waiting for a Starmer fine but I don't see how that changes anything

 

[HST274]

Is he coming back?

I suspect he has gone to film another video in front of an LNER train, where he will advocate the modernisation of government by cutting all opposition mps and reverting to dictatorship.

That is a fair point

 

[Gloster]

Reportedly, Johnson is claiming that it would cause chaos if he resigned. So what do they call the current situation?

Satire is redundant - official.

 

[HST274]

Understand Grant Shapps told PM to set out timetable for “dignified” exit

Nick Eardley BBC political correspondent on twitter. I wonder if the pun was planned? Knowing shapps said timetable will have large gaps in it and frequent delays.

Shapps - a key ally - told PM he stood little chance of winning second confidence vote

 

[najaB]

Satire is redundant - official.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[dosxuk]

Brandon Lewis - NI Secretary - has resigned.

Turns out this was incorrectly reported.

 

[brad465]

Brandon Lewis - NI Secretary - has resigned.

Could provide those Cabinet Ministers who've told Johnson to go but not resign themselves with a good excuse not to wait any longer.

 

[Cloud Strife]

This is just insanity. Johnson has called the Cabinet out, and incredibly, he might actually have called their bluff.

Brandon Lewis - NI Secretary - has resigned.

I do wonder if anyone else will follow from the Cabinet tonight. I'd expect junior ministers and secretaries to go, but this is looking like an absolute farce.

 

[HST274]

Or has he? Suggestion it's false news...

 

[Gloster]

It is not confirmed (yet?).

 

[Nicholas Lewis]

Lack of a functioning government hasn't done Belgium any harm for the last 2 years.

For sure some commentators say they've benefited from it

 

[david1212]

Priti Patel has now joined the bandwagon in calling for Boris Johnson to resign.

Cabinet confront Boris Johnson in Downing Street as Patel and Zahawi urge him to go

PM's supporters tell him the 'sheer weight of numbers' is against him continuing in No 10

I simply can not fathom how even Johnson still can not realise his time is done. IMO it was done months ago, certainly once the Partygate fine was issued.

This is getting so Machievellian that it's not beyond the powers of possibility that Johnson might have sacked Lewis (a pet hate of Carrie's, apparently.)

 

[Gloster]

Brandon Lewis has not resigned.

The fourteen ministers who have resigned is the largest in a single day: the previous highest was eleven in 1932.
