When an ultra-loyalist like Burghart goes, you know it’s over. Bughart was one of Johnson’s PPS.
This will surely now be over by the end of the day.
Tbf that party he went to with his Russian mate has paid off well. He’s clinging on like someone who’s about to have compromising footage released.
As for these all resigning. It’s sure as pooh they’re not doing it for anyone else. Not the people they represent. Not the country. But their own selfish future. I really hope voters remember this propping up of the worst pm we have ever had.
This is like watching dominoes fall down pretty slowly.
Don’t worry, Carrie and co will take on those roles.
When all this is said and done, voters will forget that tory MPs supported the lies for a long time. They’ll forget at the next election and vote for tories again…. The tories will get another majority and the tories will shaft them again. Rinse repeat. The public are so predictable.
I fully expected he will call a General election soon.
I’ve been hearing from some “it could have been worse, it could have been labour”….
I’m like what the actual fuck is wrong with their brains!!
This brings the total to over 30 in the last 24 hours if I am not miscounting.
I loved what Kier Starmer said – “the sinking ship is fleeing the rat”
Does Boris need to put it to vote or can he call Liz and ask her to dissolve the govt to call an election?
Seems his last power play to force the party to back him. They wont have time to find a new leader whilst campaigning. It took 12 weeka to vote for Johnson when May was ousted.
The current political system is built on good faith and gentleman’s agreements. What happens if he decides to eschew all that and just… Not… Leave?
Let’s get proportional representation which would finally stop this polarising “strategic” voting system where you are forced to choose between 2 parties because the others wouldn’t get in. It is discouraging democracy now.
… A party can get 10% of votes and doesn’t get any sheets because of the current system. That’s kind of ridiculous.
According to the FT over 25 officials have quit so far.
Edit: it’s over 30 now!
Watching him in front of the committee and you realise how totally out of depth he is in details and strategy. When he’s outside of a sound bite or prepared staging he’s hapless.

Get this malevolent Wallace’s claymation dick out of my country. Now.
Suck some balls Boris. The rats are jumping ship and the rat king is finally almost gone.
I can only hope that whoever is next is less of a fucking idiot, less corrupt, and has at least some respect for the rule of law.
When he gets pushed out he can take the cunty Patel, hooray Henry moog and the idiot nadine with him… good fucking ridden too.
Watching this from the US, and I’m sort of stunned at how much that committee was roasting Johnson. It was sort of delightful.
This is the end of him, there is absolutely no way he can continue. Just call a General Election already and let it end.
They had the chance to vote him out in the confidence vote. But now they quit ? He could have been gone but they voted him in.
It’s like musical chairs for a gang of people with no morals, no ethics, no loyalty, and no shame. Who’ll be the last rat with the last chair?
Insert Peep show monologue about how it felt to be im hitlers bunker
I’m cut up about this all. I want the dozy bastard gone. But I also think with him as leader of the Tories in the next general election, we stand a better chance of burying the rotting corpse that is the tory party.
