I am glad to see Boris won’t resign.
He’s destroying the Tories and I am loving every minute of it, hope he stays so he can obliterate them himself lmao
Is there any way he could be knocked out of power if he really refuses to leave?
Sky News finally put a counter in the corner of the screen. It’s up to 30 as of 15:37.
The tag climbing between not just posting but between me seeing this post and clicking into the comments is hilarious.
We’re on 31 resignations now, we’re seeing the current government crumble beneath his feet.
32 now. Mike Freer has stepped down as Minister for Exports and Minister for Equalities
You just know he thinks this is like his Dunkirk/1940 moment before he triumphs against the odds like his idol.
I don’t get how it’s not clear yet.
Boris Johnsons personality at a ***core*** relents at the idea of voluntarily giving up power. In fact, that very principle is part of his core ethos. No amount of pleading will get him out, only definitively being forced out via rule changes or an election is he going to be removed from office because whilst the option of refusing to leave is an option, it is one he will always refuse to take until forced otherwise.
He can’t leave Downing Street until Carrie has steamed the wallpaper off.
34 now. Watching him getting proper fucked at this liaison committee. Turning into a Boris bukkake 😂
Let him. The party is eating itself like a rotten snake. I know Labour are not everyone’s cup of tea but they’re better than this shit show by a MILE.
Does anybody else feel like the Count from Sesame Street, right now? Just laughing maniacally with each number?
Delusional. Blind and deaf to the real world spinning around him. The guy has become quite a psychiatric case. Like most dictators. Get rid of bojo asap.
Carrie’s trying to figure out how to take the wall paper with her.
JRM saying this morning that he’d like to see Johnson be Prime Minister for 20 years https://www.indy100.com/politics/rees-mogg-sky-interview-boris Just, what?
An empire toppled by its enemies can rise again. But one which crumbles from within? That’s dead.
It’s his job *not to make difficult circumstances*, not to then keep going when they hit back at him ….
Honestly, if we see COVID as a “fair enough pandemic can happen” then the only external problem is Russia… And even then they were intermingled….
Yet another 69 other problems are caused by him and his (lack of) leadership skills….
If he resigns the Tories have a chance to repair their image in the eyes of their constituents and fix their grip on the country. If he stays then there’s no fucking chance we get a Tory victory in the next general election and finally someone can start undoing all the damage they’ve done since 2010.
Next election, Labour get in, probs 2 terms unable to fix the omnishamble left by those cunts, tories back in, rinse repeat. Depressing.
He’s trying to Trump it.
It’s already over you buffoon, only you can’t see it.
This clip from [Spitting image](https://archive.org/details/spitting-image-go-now) is 32 years old – but very relevant.
If Boris is going to continue to hang on like this Starmer should be marching straight to the Speakers office asking for a No Confidence motion to be tabled in Government. I know the longer this shitshow goes on the better, but tactically it’s now or never.
But they won’t because they know it’s going to be a rough winter and they’ll get the blame if they’re in power.
All the Tories suddenly crawling out of the woodwork for the “sake of doing the right thing”. Well they had a chance a month ago and they gave him a vote of confidence, I don’t think he’s going anywhere. He’s not the type to give a toss what anyone thinks, very thick ~~skinned~~.
It’s going to be interesting to see how long he will last.
38. Since that’s out of 288 or so. When do you think it’ll be a major no turning back? 100?
Why isn’t there a sticked mega-thread. This is British history unfolding in front of us.
What does he actually think is happening here? This feels like we’re all watching a film featuring a schizophrenic thinking he’s running the country, when he’s actually in a padded cell and a straight jacket. Only, the twist at the end is that actually the rest of us are the schizophrenics and this is our reality…
They should’ve voted him out in the VoNC. Instead they let him stay and now we all got to watch this shit spectacle of a lying piece of clown cling on power
