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.

Under normal circumstances, but there is nothing normal about Johnson's departure
Are they blind to the voting public on how this is going to be perceived?
An almighty reckoning for them next GE
In the autumn.
..
57 resignations now, will be interesting if resignations stop now 🤔
Forget about the moderates I want to see Brexit Hardman Stever Baker up against Suella Braverman. The last 2 days have just been an appetiser
: )
So, when do we close this thread?😁
And it only took the resignations of 57 mps.. Embarrassing.
It's standard practice until a new leader is chosen. There's nothing unusual about this; it also happened with Theresa May, for example.
Lol, **** Tories are a shambles, leaving a lame duck PM in power until the Autumn, the mind boggles
Do the conservatives seriously think, allowing Boris remain in place for a few months is a good look, I understand the historical precedents but my god, after all that's happened, allowing Boris remain one more day in Number 10, is extraordinary 😳
People already on the radio pitching for the job. This is going to tear the tories apart. Hardcore brexiteers up against moderates. Small government & low tax up against red wall levelling up.
Nadine dorries has been reportedly seen stumbling around whitehall with a box of rose under her arm incoherrently telling everyone she sees something about big decisions
Is he resigning, or just promising to resign at some point in the future?
Boris and promises often don't work as per regular people
Yet
Looking forward to Zelenskyy"s comments 🙄
Finally.
Extraordinary he's remaining in place, should be dropped kicked out the door and Temporary PM put in place, albeit the obvious choice is that ghastly Dominic Rabb
Hes not going anywhere!!!
BBC calling it
Boris agreed to resign but will stay in Role until Autumn 😳
Thats the spirit esky.
Beth Rigby saying there'll be a statement from him to the UK today. No time yet.
The longest preparation of Toast in history 😏
Beth just said no 10 have said he'll make a statement today but it doesn't say he'll resign :) be gas if the statement was more rhetoric
So the threads over as the answer is yes?
That cat is probably the chancellor at this stage.
Boris Johnson may resign today but he will remain in power for months until a new leader is summoned. So, it's not as if he's going anywhere anytime soon. That's the first thing.
Second and far more importantly, this is a great day for the Conservative Party; as they can now find a leader who stands up for conservative principles and defeat Keir Starmer at the next election.
It's a terrible day for the Labour Party for precisely that reason. Though they'll celebrate, this is the political equivalent of a pyrrhic victory. Wait until 2024 and they'll wish that Johnson was still at the helm after all.
Hopefully we get a Jordan Belford moment here and he finishes his resignation speech with 10 more years and a raised fist!
All ripped out and back with the John Lewis :)
