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.

Morning, having a spot of Scambled Egg on "Toast" for breakfast, might prepare some Humble pie for lunch, but may hold off, Boris still in number 10,
Round 2, should be an interesting day 😁
Some ministers coming out in the radio in support of him this morning
.....
It's really now decended into two camps, a small delusional Boris Camp and the rest. I've seen some infighting in the conservative party over the years but this is really Civil war now and could destroy it (not necessarily a bad thing 😉)
Neither side can't now realistically back down, Boris can't govern under these circumstances, its ludicrous. Probably down to the 1922 committee but he could technically throw a legal challenge at any attempt to change rules re VONC,
I think at this stage he'll dissolve government rather than resign IMO
Its identical to the republican party and the Cult of Trump. The Cult of Boris will never die.
Chief Whip either slept over or back in number 10
52 resignations, at this stage, Boris will have to consider appointing opposition MP"S to ministerial roles 😊
Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better end to his reign. The humiliation of it all is just wonderful.
The queen won’t let him dissolve government. And if he doesn’t go after a no confidence vote she will sack him and appoint a caretaker PM while there is a leadership vote. Theresa May seems to be emerging as the probable caretaker in the event of that constitutional event.
This is what he wants, all eyes on him, hes a narcissistic sociopath. Just look at his demeanor throughout yesterdays liaison committee he was eviscerated at several points but he was smiling and joking throughout.
Its the absolutely perfect footnote to it.
Ha! Having Johnson deposed to see May reinstated temporarily...the irony would be delicious.
Ah! Suella Cowardly Man has her witches hat in the ring.
Rumours coming out there's a resignation being penned but still a power struggle within No.10 with a loyal boris group pushing against it.
Possibly true, but Boris wouldn't think twice about causing a constitutional crisis and drag Queeny into this mess.
Technically she couldn't refuse if as Boris seems determined to present a situation where government has collapsed and can't govern (I'm no expert, just looking at this from a lay person's, perspective)
she apparently is hugely respected in the party. And given that she would not be running, would be the perfect person for the month or so to have a leadership election
it won’t come to pass I am sure but as Dave0301 said, it would be delicious.
She should walk onstage to accept like...
They have a huge majority and getting rid of him will allow them to govern. It will not go down well if she is dragged into this mess of his own making. If she is, he will be fired.
O I'm not doubting all of that, but who actually gets to fire him 🤔
Isn't this partly the reason this is such a mess
Unless he can be squeezed out , the 1922 Committee will change the rules and he'll be unceremoniously dumped. If he brazens it out beyond that to go to The Queen, he'll be fired.
Jesus, we're actually in Trumpster Nazi territory now:
Apparently, Suella Braverman is putting her name forward. I thought she was still grappling with reality and pulling up the latter her parents climbed when they arrived here.
I still don't believe she would fire him in that situation, she will definitely refuse the election if he goes that direction but firing him is a whole other level.
I have only a passing interest in UK politics though i am interested in their role in NI politics. I love Boris even though he can be a fool, its free entertainment and he's a one-off. I hope he stays but its not looking good.
Just read this morning our politicians who are always giving out about Boris are a bit concernerd about who might replace him. Surely it makes no difference to us who is in charge of UK as we are protected by EU in the Brexit senario we were told.
Apparently the 1922 committee will organise a leadership contest and the winner will go to the palace. That individual will be appointed and Boris concurrently sacked.
and the bailiffs probably called if he doesn’t leave number 10. Getting more trumpian by the minute!
i don’t think there is any circumstance in which the queen would agree to a dissolution of parliament when the ruling party has such a huge majority. The government is viable, just being badly managed by the leader. I don’t know how Boris can paint a different picture
if labour call a vote of no confidence then that is a while different story
On the basis that he is the impediment to a functioning government and a danger to democracy she would. It shouldn't come to that but if he pushes it to that extreme he's certifiable.
Yes spotted that headline, Barely heard of Suella (AG), I'd say John Major has a better chance of being elected leader than her 😏
Worried about Liz Truss or Steve Baker I would imagine
It's a good day. The man obsessed with playing Churchill is now the worst PM in living memory and being forced out the door insofar as such a thing can happen under the English constitution. His cardinal achievement is waiting out a timer.
Zahawi has gone. 48 hours in the job!
All true and likely, again, no expert but at a minimum Boris could launch legal challenges, delaying any move against him (just guessing), he'll clearly stop at nothing to delay, Twart, obstruct, he's clearly lost it and I'm not referring to his Job 😏
No he isn't.
He would kill a bus load of babies to hang onto his new role.
