Can't see Johnson being very happy with Sunak, I need a big cost of living crisis announcement to shore up my failing premiership, OK boss will do.....
Daily fail leader...
Rishi lets Boris Swing.
the Scum leader
Rish won't Dish
the Brexit Bugle
breaking Coup begins ....
The fact that it is Sunak on his feet announcing something that looks like a cash handout* rather than his boss tells you everything you need to know.
*It isn't obviously.
I'm sceptical that Mirza's suddenly developed a conscience
Johnson has said plenty of outrageous, offensive & blatantly untrue things before
Just looks like a convenient excuse to abandon a sinking ship
I’m sceptical that Mirza’s suddenly developed a conscience
Both she and particularly her partner are good mates with Rishi…
She's not developed a conscience, she smells the death of her sponser.
Rishi also stated how much he liked working with her.
Rats.. alternative ship.
Aye but if it means Boris goes down in flames I'm all for it. Surely if these rats are leaving it'll be a cascade collapse of support bar some of the die hard Brexidiots. And talking of flames looks like Boris legacy is catching up and Northern Ireland is about to explode.
I wonder if regards a VONC they are holding off only for the reason that it will be a do or die affair (i.e. if it fails he is there for another year) so maybe some holding off until they are sure he will be a goner. I do not think there is another way to rid us of him and he clearly will not do the decent thing and fall on his sword. But there is also the other side of the coin that the longer he stays the more he destroys the tories.
FM that very scenario was being discussed on PM this evening, they believe more MPs want to put letters in but are scared they may get stuck with him for another year.
surely they are resigning because they were at the parties ?
The whole sham is literally imploding around Boris now isn't it?
I can't lie, I'm loving it.
Spectacularly tone-deaf from his (former) comms chief - apparently the last couple of weeks has been very hard for him and his family. As long as no-one is partying while he's been having a tough time, eh?
If you work for a high profile lying scumbag, why would you expect an easy time?🤷🏼♂️

Larry agrees
I'm checking twitter every so often expecting to see someone else quit!
Daily mail (sorry) political ed. just tweeted more news coming from no. 10 this evening..
edit. I feel compelled to point out I don't follow him, but it was retweeted by my local MP

another.... is the list of those at the parties?
more news coming from no. 10 this evening..
Dan Rosenfield gone
Edit: too slow
Is this a 'principled clearout' or are people resigning 'on principle'? Where's the Nugde Unit and the Institute of Government in all of this?
It's falling apart isn't it!
How long before Johnson has to do a Trump and start employing his kids to make up a team?
we need a minister to jump ship...
How long before Johnson has to do a Trump and start employing his kids to make up a team?
That's a large pool of people to choose from, but I am not sure that they are old enough. He does have a brother, sister and father that I am sure he could find jobs for.
Johnson is and will be surrounded by casualties. So sad.
This is effing brilliant, I'm guessing those going would have been binned in the great purge to appease the party gods, now Boris can't sacrifice them to save himself.
stolen from ****ter
Who get's custody of the fridge ?
I’ve no doubt he will spin this as part of his intentional restructuring……

And like Dom before them, they know where the bodies are buried.
I wonder if they’ll decide to talk to the Met or the media first?
Who get’s custody of the fridge ?
You better check the contents before you take it home as there could be a big useless lump of gammon in it.
What a shitshow!
I'm loving it!
Any bets on who's next?
How long before Johnson has to do a Trump and start employing his kids to make up a team?
His adult kids aren’t likely to ever want to work with him. They know him.
He does have a brother, sister and father that I am sure he could find jobs for.
One of his brothers resigned as an MP, rather than be seen to endorse him as PM. He knows him.
Being presented as part of the clearing out - a controlled and planned process.
Ha - it's a pathetic attempt to show he's in charge; johnson is now being controlled by events - he can't stop the runaway train.
WooHoo.
I wonder if they’ll decide to talk to the Met or the media first?
The media of course, get anything out there that can then be said will prejudice a trial.
It's like coming out of the bunker and wondering whether to surrender to the Russians or the Americans, it's not a hard choice 🙂
The frightening thing is he might have to make a decision without running it past an adult first (even when he runs it by an adult he can still stuff things up)
"we need a minister to jump ship"
They're too busy jumping sharks.
The line up for Question Time tonight had the rest of the panellists plus ‘a Cabinet Minister TBC’
It’s now been confirmed that it is Crispin Blunt.
Probably the only one in the subsidised bar who hadn’t run for the hills and was pissed enough
No ‘Cabinet Minister TBC’ then?
And that was before the latest shenanigans

Should be interesting 😂
Having seen Tim Stanley on sky's papers review earlier this week his exchanges with blunt I agree with binners - should be...interesting.
I love the way the Tory WhatsApp group is always screen shotted

Surely if it's sofa's purge then they'd be sackings not resignations.
and replacements named.
Surely if it’s sofa’s purge then they’d be sackings not resignations.
Aye that first letter by Munira Mirza didn't sound like a push.
Surely if it’s sofa’s purge then they’d be sackings not resignations.
It depends if you know you are going to be sacrificed for him. I would be tempted to jump first after sticking the knife in.
