If you are going into a leadership race and you've just been usurped by the Health Minister and Chancellor then your next best shot is to do the Gazza with the chicken and beer trick and stick around to try and talk to him, keeps the veneer of loyalty and duty going but I'd imagine it will eventually be shrug "I tried guys".  Is going too early a sign of good judgement or lack of stomach? That will be an argument for the leadership campaign.

It is wonderful that he is staying on though, maximum carnage, good lad.

Does anyone think Johnson will resign?

It's insane to try and stick it out, but I think he will.

Can't believe, in 2022, I live in a country without a chancellor.

Can we function without someone to Chancel?

I could see that being quite strategic, even more clearly a one off man mental is to blame, be sure to get a guy with a smarter haircut next time.

I can't believe I live in a country with an Ann Widdicombe.

Currently on the BBC saying Johnson isn't a liar he's just scatterbrained. He should continue in his post, just with an advisor who tells him not to say stupid things. Great.

maybe, but they've had several serious opportunities to give him the heave ho over the past two years and most insisted he was still the only man for the job

"actually he was a destructive rogue we all hated" doesnt even have a Brexit bus level of believability

Fair play to Anne though. Incredible bravery having a go at his hair with the lid that she has got. Looks like Lego's mum


"The man is not a liar, he's simply incompetent" isn't the critic-slaying defence these dickheads think it is.

I think he's done in one way or another. His tearful departure in the back of a car should be glorious.

Posted as a reply to the original picture! Didn't even delete and try again, just "here's another one". Beautiful.

Glad to see Nadine "Bonkers" Dorries is as loyal as she is dim.

How the fuck are we expected to get by without a Trade Envoy to Morocco?

Rees-Mogg just predicted that he'll beat Walpole and be PM for 21 years.

At least he's enjoying himself

I think he did resign, a bit mealy mouthed - he talked himself into resigning and just went with it. Great stuff.

The BBC are now saying that he has resigned, quoting the same tweet, which means that if I'm right and he didn't mean to resign then he's fucked. If he issues a correction he'll be seen as the only rat to rejoin a sinking ship.

I hope I am right.

Yeah he started talking, then couldn't stop himself and by the end of his sentence he was no longer in his position.

Clown show government.

Chris Pincher's going to be kicking himself if a job in Morocco's just come up
