It's all falling apart alarmingly fast for Boris Johnson across the water. How long you reckon he has left as British Prime Minister? Hours surely?
How many parties are they talking about now? I've lost count.

BJ caught lying again
Well I never, I'm shocked I tells ya
It feels like a day cannot go by without no 10 lying.
I'd say there's another desperate trip to Ukraine on the cards.
Another knife in his back, he knew all about the previous complaint and investigation into Piincher yet still promoted him to Deputy Chief Whip. Will be interesting to see how no.10 spin this one, he's being caught rotten.
Boris Johnson's Spokesman says Prime Minster was informed about the 2019 complaint against Chris Pincher but was "Not asked to take any action"
I nearly fell over with laughter.
It really is like something out of Yes, Minister
I was thinking more along the lines of The Viz.
Javid resigns, T'is the beginning of the end for Johnson.
Sunak follows
If I were British I'd be pulling up stakes and GTFO. Terrifying. Sunak and Javid appeared to have some brains.
Is generic Jenrick still around to become Chancellor?
Well I mean listening to the bbc at lunch time it’s not a surprise(maybe the people leaving) as time and again government minister have gone on radio and TV and made to look like complete gobshites defending Boris Johnson. Anyone with a lick of respect for themselves can only do that for so long.
nadine dores for chancellor of the exchequer so ?
Raab has professed his loyalty. Going to be a string of fourth-grade Ministers/former Ministers looking at roles if Johnson survives.
Oh joy - I first thought those letters were a couple of exceedingly good mock-ups - but they're not. Can the week get any better ...? I do so hope.
Two hammer blows.
Have Sunak and Javidf specified this is about the Pincher thing, or that's the final straw anyway?
That has to be the fatal blow. The two top ministers resigning.
Johnson has two choices. Resign by end of the week or be ceremoniously kicked out later this month.
There's reasons given in the letters above, neither are specifically Pincher but the Sky commentators are claiming the muttering is that it was down to that.
Javids claimed reason is quite an attack though (that Boris wasn't willing/able to appear competent after the confidence vote)
Rumours abound that Truss will be resigning shortly.
Ah he's finished now. Has to be. No way anyone survives that.
Popcorn time. He’s finished with the oligarchs withdrawing support from their media mouthpieces. That was the signal for the sudden onset of conscience from the rest of them. Tories dumping the front man while the charade trundles on.
Big smiles from Theresa May id say
An ally of Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, viewed as a potential leadership candidate, said she was “100% behind the PM”, PA Media reports.
Did I just see Nadine Dorries go into no. 10
As Jess Philips just alluded to on Sky, right now the "long time in politics" is 30m, not a week.
Be very surprised at that. She's a total loyalist.
Resigning from what though, what exactly does she do?
She's the Foreign Secretary.
Opens up pork markets, I believe

Talking rubbish ? I mean it’s a thing. For the record Liz truss is the foreign secretary of the UK.
No no she sells cheese to people intolerant to dairy.
Also sky reporting at the moment all the die hard loyalists like Truss Dorries Mogg etc who wouldn't have a chance getting into a non Boris cabinet are staying
