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

Bravermann (than I) chucked hat in on Peston, etc as said above, went on about fighting against Wokeness and people getting fired for expressing opinions etc.

I guess that's where her priorities lie.

She might win, if nobody else runs for office.

Kieth’s ready xp

Kieth's going down next iirc

unless of course he's 20 points ahead by tomorrow

Oh I don’t fancy his chances much I was just saying he’s lame enough to welcome the comparison

oh god yeah being the next Joe is every melt's dream

at least now he knows what life was like for Corbyn during his 4 years of leadership. I doubt he'll learn anything from this experience though - he'll just carry on being an arrogant racist prick with an even more unmanageable list of enemies. Still hate Starmer even more than him tbh

Political interviews are almost impossible at the moment because they keep getting stopped to announce the latest resignation.

Oh, Mickey Dolenz is on Good Morning Britain!

People who resign now, rather than two days ago, can't convincingly say "it is a matter of principle ... with a heavy heart".

I realise that this is really true of the ones who resigned two days ago also.

No betting man but today's the day that Starmer and Johnson could resign on the same day! A 96 yo could be left standing.

Seven ministers gone this morning already, are there actually any left?

Reckon Zahawi might get fired in a bit…

jfc Steve Baker's considering a run for PM

Boris as Caractacus Potts

Lmao

Prime Minister: this is not sustainable and it will only get worse: for you, for the Conservative Party and most importantly of all the country. You must do the right thing and go now. pic.twitter.com/F2iKT1PhvC

No fucking way!

not the most steady-handed 36 hours of chancelorship there

wonder if they will still be having some furious meetings about their evidence-based tax cut plan today

Lol

With great sadness I must resign from government. pic.twitter.com/tQUf5oVHAa

I still think this country could calmly function as it usually does with -29 cabinet ministers!

People be taking jobs purely for access to impressive stationery

Boris Johnson has agreed to stand down

— Randeep Ramesh (@tianran) July 7, 2022

Hold on

Boris Johnson has agreed to resign, but wants to stay on as PM until new Tory leader elected by autumn
Boris Johnson has agreed to resign, the BBC’s Chris Mason reports. He says he wants a new Tory leader to be in place by the party conference. He wants to stay on as PM until then.

Hmmm

That’s normal. It takes a while for the leadership election but I think they will force him out before then. Recess is soon so idk if that affects things because they can’t get it done in that time and assume they want a new pm in once parliament returns

Recess is July 22nd iirc, because it has to go to Tory members it’s probably not possible to get a new leader in by that date? Let’s see on that timetable though, they could delay recess. They surely want a new leader in for conference (September).

I don't understand why he'd want to hang around, it's not as if he's been enjoying it much

Kind of love his last act being sacking Gove

xp oh he loves it, not the day to day of course, he doesn't give a shit about that, he just loves being the big boss man

yeah I guess so, he just can't say goodbye

Oh, he'll be writing his farewell speech from now until the day, and will be expecting the laughs, cheers, and clapping as he walks out of the commons...

David Cameron's speech was broadly tolerated at the time, even paid tribute to Corbyn's longevity and resilience if I recall..

Resigning to spend more time with his families.

I don’t think Cameron walking away whistling aged well

Not very Churchillian of Boris to shit his pants and immediately give up when Graham Brady told him he had no hope of winning a leadership contest.

ITV finished the Lorraine TV show, and have gone to ITN News.

Well, there was a "Nesquik" still for two minutes, and now they're all reporting away, but no sound.

That's gonna be popular!

Ah, sound's back. nm..

He wants to be able to say he outlasted May

Aiming high there.

Ridiculous person.

The beautiful thing is that you don't JUST loose Johnson - if he goes, Nadine Dorries and Jacob Rees Mogg go too. Total BOGOF.

— Caitlin Moran (@caitlinmoran) July 6, 2022

Before Johnson there was this expectation of cloaking your evil in a thin veneer of politeness and good manners, now he seems to have blithely smashed that convention, and it's going to be hard to put it together again. I guess this is... good, on balance? idk.

Tory demands for him to go immediately starting to pick up, be good if the “he’s done the decent thing” lot could wake up and give us another day of infighting.

And a Q just gone in about Lebedev which got a bit lost in the noise yesterday.
