This is just perfect! What a fucking treat on a Tuesday. Might get takeaway to celebrate.

[ParmoViolets]

Boris would carry on trying to run govt with a cabinet made up of Dorries, the Harry Enfield Tory boy character, the No.10 cat and the milkman.

[nedertron]

That sounds like a Spitting Image sketch. I mean he has to go now surely? It’s a constant pisstake from week to week. Something new that’s shit about the U.K. or our government.

[Les_Zeppelin]

I want him to go down as the person who made Dorries the person in charge of the whole countries money. Do it do it do it. It will only last a few hours so no harm done.

[nedertron]

She is a fucking Michael Fabricant. Do it Boris, just for the bants.

Let’s see how well this ages …

[ihatethegeneralpublic]

They can’t even do mutiny properly any more.

[Dent_Face]

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be upstanding for your new PM…

…MATT HANCOCK!"

[nedertron]

If he goes it’s a leadership vote within the Torey party correct?

But he can hang around for a fucking year if he wants to currently?

[nedertron]

@Dent_Face

…MATT HANCOCK!"

What are the reasonable options available?

[buildafire]

No Tweet yet from Sturgeon saying Johnson needs to go, tellingly. He’s the best hope she had for independence.

[Les_Zeppelin]

And the best hope of a Labour Gov next GE

[buildafire]

I’d have thought so if that nice boy Rishi who gave us all that free money was still there, but when they’re going to have to recruit from the further back I think this helps swing it left a bit.

[buildafire]

She’s Tweeted now. I guess she lurks.

[Mark]

I think those two resigning could be positioning themselves for leadership

[nedertron]

Big time. Sunak wants it.

[nedertron]

He gave everyone free money and saved the P on the leccy and gas they made really expensive. Popular vote.

[markg]

Hilariously savage, all the shit that’s gone down and they carefully waited until something happened that they weren’t also up to their necks in before resigning.

[Dent_Face]

Sunak’s reputation is pretty tarnished though thanks to his wife’s tax dodging and his US citizenship. Liz Truss and Dominic Raab are the two which keep being floated whenever Johnson’s future is being questioned.

[nedertron]

Here’s a list of Michael Fabricants.

I’m glad Warwick got banned so I can really enjoy this.

[nazoreth]

After Keir’s utter bullshit the other day around brexit I’m not sure a labour government would be much better right now
