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.

Well he's gone, Wow, had hoped for some more drama today 😁
Beth is a traditionalist, politician gets caught doing something wrong, politician resigns.
She said last night she had to fundamentally change how she does when Bojo got the gig.
I don't doubt her sources, but
Boris could jump out the front window naked with the cat under his arm at this stage.
Yes, she's impressive I have to say 😏
I was enjoying the drama. I’d be cynical and think it’s only his calculation around maximising the time he (and Carrie) has in that house with the new wallpaper.
and he gets to be in power for longer than Theresa May
Ah feck it, he's gone
I wanted him to destroy the party even more
Stepping down but caretaker till Autumn
55 now. Beth Rigby reading 'it's done' from her phone.
Look who just popped out of the woodwork!
Ah $hite.
HE is going today, confirmed. The circus is over!
Beth Rigby is one of the most connected and smartest political commentators so there may be something in that
It shouldn't matter to us as we have our own Government and are in EU for trade, we have always said Brexit was a problem for UK only. I think this is part of the reason whu relationship is not as good as it should be.
Remember that when we were in trouble in 2008 the first people who offered financial aid were the UK.
Beth Rigby on Sky suggesting that he will go today, according to her sources. Now 55 resignations
They are the hardcore brexiteers who would rip up the protocol
According to what almost is saying here in the UK any be better, one of my best friends rants about Boris all the time and i do say i am happy with him. I am looking forward to meeting my friend at about 11.
As i said i dont know, whats the ones you mention like? especially on NI.
This make it 54?
Some of the replies...
"Thank you for your hours of service" lol
You love Boris because he's a bit of craic?
The same person stoking the fire authorizing the ripping up of internationally agreed legislation that puts peace and stability of this island at risk.
It makes all the difference who is in charge of the UK. His merry band of followers have been badly exposed aswell.
Seemingly Priti Patel only still in her Job because of Security and Policing responsibilities attached to her role.
Nadhim Zahawi continues to make a fool of himself, Yeah, but, no, but yeah 🙄
Apparently, Newsnight finished with a list of resignations:
" 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."
If only there was a recent example from another country which shows the idiocy in cheering for a scandal ridden, self obsessed buffoon in charge merely because you find him entertaining.....
Looks like Steve is back.
Misreported apparently. His letter says he is staying but that Boris is a disaster and should go, and explicitly told Boris to resign
No he isn't.
He would kill a bus load of babies to hang onto his new role.
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 😏
Zahawi has gone. 48 hours in the job!
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.
Worried about Liz Truss or Steve Baker I would imagine
Yes spotted that headline, Barely heard of Suella (AG), I'd say John Major has a better chance of being elected leader than her 😏
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.
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
