"we'll change the things that need changing and that's all we'll change": the paSUKification of post-brexit politics 2021

actually, I think Iain Macleod was chancellor for a shorter time than Javid, but still over a day though

Think Zahawi will be in the role until they can elect a new PM, so idk a few weeks probably.

I was thinking if Johnson manages to cling on for a bit longer and replaces Zahawi with someone else who's not calling for him to resign, but that's looking less likely now I suppose

PM is not denying he said “all the sex pests are supporting me”. This is painful

BBC's resign-o-matic now up to 35

BREAKING: Home Secretary Priti Patel has arrived at No 10.

Boris to meet with the Queen to break-up Parliament.

**Queen actually dies**

Please Ishtar, the only thing I ask of this is that Boris reminds Truss, Patel, Zahawi, Dorries that they are all total shit and would never be within a mile of the cabinet without his egocentric wrecking

How strange? He's been telling us he doesn't do face to face negotiations https://t.co/NhB9pBk6ZT

Seriously though.

Imagine if the Queen died right now

— Jason Okundaye (@jasebyjason) July 6, 2022

Queen is never dying and Johnson will be PM forever

thats right

That opinion could last as long as Zahawi at no 11 xp

Lizo will make it past 100

Queen is already dead and Boris should take hostages

Queen is never dying and Johnson will be PM forever

Isn't that how Warhammer starts?

One MP in the 1922 committee meeting says Daniel Kawczynski was "lone voice of support" for the PM

He complained about how Boris Johnson was spoken to in liaison cttee

"Three MPs banged the table out of 160," the source says

Everyone I know who is not a weird politics freak like me rn:

“Is it true that there’s an mp who wanted to keep upskirting legal, is there a giant who told a homeless man to get a job, is will Quince real?”

“Yes yes no”

NEW: I am told that Sir Graham Brady has gone to meet the Prime Minister to offer him "wise counsel". In other words, to tell him time's up.

He'll have to wait in line behind the delegation of cabinet members.

— Paul Brand (@PaulBrandITV) July 6, 2022

there's gonna be so many suspects when they all pile out of Number 10 revealing Johnson's corpse face down on the carpet

then they turn it over and it's the queen in a fatsuit and a fabricant's wig

i'm worried about what all this means for channel 4 privatization. someone talk me down.

"... this is the first case of sinking ships fleeing the rat"

lol, how do say that in a crowded room on national television without curling up and dying of embarrassment rather than looking very happy with yourself.

Brandon Lewis has gone, I'd heard of him at least.

Extraordinary

Nadhim Zahawi today told Boris Johnson he should resign

Tomorrow he's agreed to launch a new economic plan alongside Boris Johnson in a bid to shore up his leadership according to @SkyNews

Today is bewildering by any metric

LOL Gove sacked.

What a waste

it would be funny if it wasn't so bad

so funny

he's still going to PM at xmas isn't he

He'd have been better off keeping Gove where he could see him, instead of sending him off to squat in his lair and plan, plan, plan

I mean Gove should have resigned and heaped more pressure on, idk why he would say to Johnson to go and then expect to keep his job.

Guessing he’s going to sack Priti next.

(xxp) Xmas 2030.

Michael Gove has been sacked by Boris Johnson.

A No 10 source told the BBC: "You cannot have a snake who is not with you on any of the big arguments who then gleefully briefs the press that he has called for the leader to go." https://t.co/Iv4swpH9T5

— i newspaper (@theipaper) July 6, 2022

a bad day for fans of being "levelled up"

Rumour has it Gove left Sarah Vine for a man and has been laying low ever since.

"I res-"
"Youfired" *hangs up*

is how it sounds like that went down

xp Gove’s sexuality is perhaps not in the million things wrong with him

BBC4 totally coincidentally showing a documentary about the downfall of Thatcher right now

lol

This is the action of a Prime Minister who is no longer acting rationally. This isn’t funny any more. https://t.co/DhXMcezI5R

— (((Dan Hodges))) (@DPJHodges) July 6, 2022

giving Gove the boot is at least one of his top three moments as PM, of course it's funny. Well at least for a few minutes.

Dan Hodges "This isn't funny any more but at least it's better than Corbyn eh?"

we can only hope that mobs of rampaging Boris ultras turn on the media class and tear them limb from limb

I am trying to get good American poster felicity, who knows a lot about uk politics, to post on here.

I was saying how good this thread is especially when shit is happening, or as she put it “come for the lemons, stay for the snakes”.

Oh also my classic ukpol thread meme dn is from her
