Robin Walker resigns as schools minister, saying he no longer has faith in PM’s leadership

Laura Trott resigns as PPS in transport department, saying trust in politics ‘of upmost importance’
Let me see if I understand this. All those ministers were just fine with Boris attending parties during lockdown and lying to the country about it. But suddenly now integrity is paramount ?
Any chance we can get an election going soon ? Don’t know about you lot but I feel like it’s time.
Totally agree, unfortunately the way Boris is going he’s going to make Thatcher’s last year look bloody great
We’re witnessing a historic situation where a PM has completely failed at their job, everything is calling for them to resign, but they won’t go, and apparently can’t be fired.
Clearly the rules are broken. There’s little to no safeguarding in place to protect the country and its people from a narcissistic egomaniac PM who’d rather watch everything sink than simply resign. It’s madness.
Boris will cling on, he won’t leave until he’s forced out the door.
What are the odds of him changing the locks and claiming squatters rights by the end of the week, and the next cabinet reshuffle to involve a selection of sock puppets?
All he do is just give the positions to his mates and find new ways to steal from the taxpayer before calling an election so he can avoid resigning and use his time in office to make even more cash.
Get rid of this idiot. Right Wing nationalism is a plague. This guy is the number 2 problem after Donald Trump. The US is already completely fucked (live there and currently immigrating out), the UK is definitely hurting, but there is still a chance.
This is fuckall about integrity and everything to do with deserting the sinking ship and looking at their future appointment in the next PMship.
Just tories being tories. Self->party->country
I think relying on Boris Johnson’s sense of shame isn’t the best strategy
I’m sure people know this already but let’s make it clear. These ministers didn’t suddenly find some morality and decided that they cannot stand by Boris. Its a fact that the public has started to get sick of his shit now and anyone seen by his side would also feel the fallout in the next election. This is all just politics but its very clear to everyone, including Boris, his career in politics is pretty much done
If he would resign who would be the most likely candidate to be selected?
No he shouldn’t resign so when the next elections come the tories don’t have a chance of having someone good representing them
No point mate, were all too busy working in Cyber.
There should be general election – period. People need to give opinion on who should pick up this mess and make it right.
It’s fucking maddening that it took THIS and not the NI protocol to cause this collapse. Britain is a pathetic country. .
My prediction: Boris’ ego won’t allow him to resign.
He will fight to the end.
What would a politician who had a job be doing in a job centre?
Just replace them with agency works m80
Is the Queen technically permitted to dissolve the Parliament? Even though she won’t and she doesn’t supposed to have any political stance and power otherwise?
If true, common Lizzie, here is your one in a life time chance to directly support the people. You would be the last straw to lose confide in the Parliament Led by Boris.
Can’t wait to see these adverts in the Jobcentre!
Wanted: Political Scapegoat
Skills: Went to same school as Boris
Salary: As much as you can fit in your pockets
Previous experience not required
Must know Microsoft XP
Whats the pay?
Where did he get his current lot if not from there? He was hardly working with a brain trust as it was to begin with. The moderates all left when he took charge and he has continued to lose ministers as time went on. The likes of Truss, Dorries and Braverman just show how he is scraping the bottom of the barrel already.
Distractions all the time with these bastards!
Having elected Trump Lite, I love the way everyone is gobsmacked that he won’t resign….
Can we petition for him to be barred from entering parliament in any official capacity after his removal from office?
Keep going, Boris!
Don’t listen to those ministers!
You’ve got Dorres and Rees-Mogg on your side so it’s all looking good.
Please stay _as long as possible_ as the _more damage you can do to the Tory brand so that it’s unelectable for decades, the better._
Can you imagine the panic at Tory HQ for how all this is going down? I’m loving it.
