its not just the lying, it’s the incompetence of handling all of these lies exactly the same way and not trying to do anything different.
“I did something wrong”
“Did you know about it”
“Yea”
“Ok lie about it”
*lies*
*sends all his mates out to lie about it*
*truth emerges literally 10 minutes later after very little research*
“I didn’t lie, but I am sorry”
I was saying that same thing. Boris is so used to lying that he doesn't know the difference between fact the fiction.
In all my years, I have never known a PM so mired in lies.
The cabinet members must now resign
I'd add Modi and Bolsonaro to that list as well.
im half expecting nadine to ask Johnson supports to storm no.10!!!
bush and blair weren't that long ago.
It's going to reach the point where he offers people wearing blue clothing a job in the cabinet.
He cant actually form a government with all these resignations and won't quit. At what point does the queen step in?
In short, never. That absolutely is not the monarch's job. It has instead always been a question of the PM knowing their limits and resigning when proper to do so. And there you have the problem with our constitution.

The Queen??? Ffs get a grip

Not true the PM doesn't have to offer his resignation to the queen that's just a ceremonial tradition now. Parliament has the power to decide when a government goes and a new one has sufficient confidence to allow a new one to be formed. Queenie just does what she's told.
You are invited by the monarch to form a government, which something he seemingly can't do now with all these resignations. As much as the monarchy stays out of politics, there has to be a point, or rather situation in which they intervene.
The end of this Government has begun
it’s just such a massive shame for us all….that it’s too late, they’ve started an unsurfable wave, we’ve just got too see what mess we are left with when the wave fizzles out
sadly, it’s a bloody tsunami, it’ll leave a substantial mess

Nope
I am not sure we differ here. There is no Vote of No Confidence yet and without one being carried (or lost , depending on your point of view) the PM remains in place. And he remains in place until he offers his resignation to the monarch. It may be ceremonial, like Royal Assent, but it is still necessary.
They already interfere too much as it is.
Seeing as it seems he's going to dig the heels in, I would imagine the likes of Truss and Gove are about to bounce.
Will there be a shitload of by-elections coming up then seeing as all of these MPs have resigned?

Yeah without a VONC or alternative motion he'll remain in place. He can't not resign follow that though, his skirting off to the queen is just ceremony as she has to follow parliaments lead not the governments/PM.
Would be fascinating to see how long Boris could stretch that grace period. I doubt they'd even wait 24hrs.
Apparently Paul Gascoigne has turned up at No 10 with some fishing rods, four cans of lager and a copy of the ministerial code.
resigned from government not from parliament. you'll see how virtuous those tory mps are when they resign from parliament and cut off the majority. which will happen precisely never.
They resign from their cabinet positions, not from their constituency representative role.
That's like expecting your houseplants to intervene in an argument between you and your wife. It's there for purely decorative purposes.
fair playGOVE SACKED
Gove sacked
Ketchup?
Watching Sky News.
I’m from Ireland living in the north and I’m loving this. The DUP will be shitting themselves at the minute.
Is there any chance Boris could Putin this? Does your parliament procedure allow someone like Boris to basically take over politics if he went nuclear?

Well that's him lining up another attempt to take over...
Gove, Rees Mogg, Patel and whatever that dipshit one is called. You just know they'll go for Patel and shore up the rabid anti-immigrant vote.
Gove gone.
Just rejoice.
Just rejoice.
Woof. More like Michael Gone, am I right?
