They all knew what they were doing when they hitched themselves to a lying, sexually incontinent charlatan like Johnson.
Now they know they're all ****ed, they can't get shut of him and he's going to take all hands down with him
Shall we break out the worlds smallest violin?
Can anyone else remember former senior civil servants breaking the Omertà like this?
Usually, they're so tight lipped about anything that happened/happens in briefings with ministers
I think GMB is probably assumed to be a 'soft touch' interview by politicians, but Reid is actually a proper journalist with lots of time served on Beeb Radio and TV News before getting her current gig...
Raab's got form for this way of talking to the media too, every interview with him on R4 is just combative, semantic bullshitting to avoid actually saying whichever thing everyone knows to be true. Somewhere along the way he's been told that trying to gaslight an interviewer is a great way to "win" and hasn't twigged that it just makes him appear even more evasive and clueless...
Long may it continue, every time he's shoved in front of the Mic/Camera (because Boris is in the fridge) it does a little more damage to the Tory government...
Well done Susanna Reid.
If itv isn't careful they'll be nationalised.
The degree of contempt this government has for the public is truly staggering.
Definite change of tone on the Beeb today. Effectively saying No10 are lying - again - and saying ministers are not wanting to come out and support the party line and then be shown to be lying
wish Marina would stop punching down! it's wrong to mock the afflicted 😉
I can’t even remember what number of Downing Street reboots we’re on now, but every single scandal still plays out like an awayday exercise in which a team of Dadaist amateurs have been given a disaster scenario and told to wargame it.
genuine LOL
Couldnt decide if The End by the Doors or this worked better..

Sajid Javid resigned!
First domino to fall?
The Saj has just resigned to go and set up his leadership campaign
Johnson has just given the most blathering ‘dog ate my homework’ car crash interview I’ve ever seen to Chris Mason on the BBC

He'll no doubt be back shortly as the man to lead the Tories out of this mess...
Taxi for BJ! Sunak gone too.
Sunak gone too
Rishi’s just jumped ship tools
Can’t wait to see who he proposes for the jobs of chancellor and health secretary.
The remaining Chuckle Brother and the Downing Street dog?
Rishi Sunak resigned as well, surely even Boris can't bluff his way out of this s***show, but no doubt he'll try
Rishi Sunak resigned as well, Let’s see the entire cabinet get taken outside and disposed of
Couple of openings for Chris Pincher?!?
PMQs should be fun.
can't even lie with competence.
I know sod all will probably change for ages but I'm laughing my cock off at this news 😀
and the Downing Street dog?
The dog is way too bright for that.
Rees-Mogg is going to sense an opportunity to show his talents.
😂😂😂
Sunak went to gsk yesterday, do they have a new drug causing someone to grow a conscience and slipped it in his drink?
House of cards well and truly falling now.
I think we all know the one person who definitely won’t be resigning.
I wonder if everyone else will go and it’ll just be Boris barricaded in number ten, refusing to come out
PMQs should be fun.
He will just do his normal waffling and refusal to answer questions. The only real change will be when he pauses for sycophantic laughter/jeers and gets nothing but silence from behind him.
Although the half empty front bench should be worth a laugh. May end up being like the later part of lockdowns when they were only allowed a few people in the chamber.
From dishi rishi
"The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously.
I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning."
Yeah right, if you had any belief in those standards you would have bailed 18 months ago
Rishi probably grateful for the opportunity to bow out, seen his way out and taken it. Boris in the fridge yet?
Johnson must be toast..
Not just any cabinet members, pretty much the two most important apart from Foreign Sec in present circumstances. I imagine the two gears in Liz's head must be whirring right now.
Big Nadz in as Chancellor?
The beginning of the end for Boris. Thank goodness. I was a fan of his, but lets face it, he's a liar of the highest order, he always was but somehow he's gotten worse. I don't think he knows what is now a lie and isn't. He needs to go.
I wonder what the Mail's headline will be in the morning?
“The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously.
I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.”
it was such a pointless lie about, with a compliant media, a story that was so easy to bat away...
we feel let down too, second chances etc etc
Raab on R4 Today again tomorrow? Look like it's over. He'd do well to jump too.
I wonder what the Mail’s headline will be in the morning?
Something about the cost of living, wouldn't surprise me if this gets completely ignored
he always was but somehow he’s gotten worse
Nah. You might have ignored it in the past and it was also masked to some extent by the competent people around him but if you look at his history he hasnt changed at all.
I wonder what the Mail’s headline will be in the morning?
LOOK! Squirrel!
Or they'll just brand Javid and Sunak as traitors. Probably traitors with funny coloured skin and funny names.
Big Nadz in as Chancellor?
Mrs Binners just suggested this and Rees Mogg as Health Secretary to bring back treatments with leeches
Jess Phillips is absolutely ripping into Johnson on Sky News
Mr johnson?
This is Pickfords with your removals quote.
Will you be settling your own account?
Ah right, we'll send the invoice to Lord brownlow.
I wonder what the Mail’s headline will be in the morning?
Price of Lurpak?
Let's face it, nads and the moggster are probably among the few who would actually take a further role in his cabinet right now
Priti's staying as well apparently.
This is even better than when Portillo lost his seat.
Heroic Boris, forcing the colonials out of government and bringing back proper good old fashioned perverts. Makes you proud to be British
