Boris Johnson!

Wow Johnson just threatening his MPs with a GE ?

Meanwhile Zahawi reported to have turned on Johnson after accepting chancellor’s job!

His performance at the Liaison Committee is wonderfully bad.

Wragg is really putting him through it

This committee hearing is an absolute car crash.

Any of yesterdays brief faux humility is long gone. It’s back to bluff, bluster, arrogance and pomposity, lying through his teeth at every turn.

Nobody is having any of it!

His comment about meeting lebedev in Italy was in response to persistent direct questions.

Yep. Still making jokes and blustering. He’s away with the fairies.

While we all get excited by this, can we remember that all of this is as a result of a lying, selfish, randy toff who is significantly responsible for the crappy place we find our nation in at the moment.

Quite a charming lying, selfish, randy toff though. I’m not sure you can blame everything on him. Even if he is a tory.

GE PLEASE!

This isn’t an act, he is just coked of his tits constantly

He’s getting torn a new one

It’s cracking entertainment. I hope he holds on as long as possible.

3 cabinet ministers including Zahawi. can’t buy loyalty now

Men in grey suits, including chief whip, apparently congregating at No.10. Defenestration is imminent!

Where are you all watching this?

Boris Johnson hangs by a thread as resignations continue – live updates
Boris Johnson suffered a fresh ministerial resignation this morning as the Prime Minister struggles to stabilise his ailing premiership

I can only assume that brexit has made it difficult to import rope.

Meanwhile Zahawi reported to have turned on Johnson after accepting chancellor’s job!

I’ve been waiting for the fall of Boris for such a long time and so far it’s been absolutely cracking.  What a finale!  Far more satisfying then Game of Thrones.

The Blue Wedding?

This isn’t an act, he is just coked of his tits constantly

He doesn’t appear to be with it at all. Only just turned it on, he can’t find the words for anything.

BBC news, just tuned in. Loving the resignations counter

It’s live on BBC news channel.

Where are you all watching this?

Live feed on the Guardian website

Cheers all.

Shapps, Brandon Lewis, Simon Hart and the Chief Whip are among the delegation…. will they resign if he says no ?

Where are you all watching this?

Oldschool telly. They’re grilling him live on all the rolling news channels.

Told a delegation of three cab ministers – Zahawi, Hart and Lewis (who is currently in Belfast) have made it clear to chief whip it’s time for PM to go. This trio say his position now untenable.

the same guy who was doing the rounds this morning is now jumping ship ? will he resign ?

He’s just playing the victim

He really can’t accept he has made any mistakes.

Meanwhile Zahawi reported to have turned on Johnson after accepting chancellor’s job!

I’m just praying he rebuffs the delegation and refuses to resign. Zahawi surely would have to resign in that case. Number 1 – will that be a new record for the shortest tenure in a cabinet post? Number 2 – what the **** has happened in 24hrs that means Zahawi has gone from toadying groveler and accepting Sunak’s sloppy seconds (or is it thirds?) to offing the boss?

If he says “get on and deliver” one more time

There is an easy way out, based on his current state they could easily get him sectioned

Part of me actually feels a bit sorry for him, his whole carefully constructed world is falling apart before his eyes and I’m starting to think its not that he thought everyone else bought it and isn’t he a wonderful trickster but rather that he’s genuinely ill and believes in his own delusion.

Boris refusing to say he won’t dissolve Parliament if he loses a vote of no confidence.

He’s a nutter.

elect a clown watch the circus.

He is absolutely refusing to resign or step aside or acknowledge any fault on his part. Unbelievable.

His entire defence is to try and change subject, isn’t it.

Dear god.

Boris Johnson now confronted with news that Zahawi, Shapps, Hart et al will be waiting for him in Downing Street telling him to go. “So you say,” he retorts. This is excruciating.

Absolutely wild the end of that committee meeting! Staggering

Number 2 – what the **** has happened in 24hrs that means Zahawi has gone from toadying groveler and accepting Sunack’s sloppy seconds (or is it thirds?) to offing the boss?

Realising he’s about to get dragged down

Oh this is fun. Its everything I hoped for

Jesus H Christ, just finished watching the liaison committee grilling.

A million times better than anything Armando Iannucchi ever wrote for The Thick of It.

Then I remembered that it’s all real, and that is a terrifying thought.
