  1. Could this be it?

    Could this finally be the straw?

    Will *another* grovelling apology and ‘let’s level up this isn’t what the people care about speech’ work?

    Edit: Rishi Sunak has also resigned

    It’s falling apart – everyone off at the next stop

    Edit2: Sky reporting Raab is ‘staying loyal’

  2. First big scalp in what may turn out to be a slew of cabinet resignations.

    Javid also positioning early for his leadership bid.

    Edit: and Sunak too!

  3. Boris Johnson is gonna survive this like he survived Partygate tbh. He’s no Theresa May who buckled just from the sheer aftermath of facing a confidence vote. If he can survive Partygate he’ll survive this.

    But that’s not a bad thing for anyone who’s a non-Tory. With Johnson staying in position it’ll be Labour’s best wish given how electorally of an asset he’ll be.

  4. Boris gone by tomorrow morning. That’s where my money is.

    Edit: bollocks, he’s still clinging on

  5. Beeb just called him a ‘beast of a minister’, and with good reason. That’s a big, big scalp.

    Wonder what the odds are of Prime Minister Javid in a years time.

  6. How long until our Culture Minster comes to Boris’s defence and blames the BBC for reporting all this bad news and *enjoying* it?

  7. Oh well.. Tory friends made their money with PPE contracts.. now they have to throw away few hundred mil worth as quality of it is abysmal.. time to step away so ppl forget who was behind it

  8. No way Boris survives this for very long with two of his big hitters resign in quick succession. Has to be a leadership contest imminent.

    PMQs will be really interesting tomorrow. Going to clear my diary so i can watch it.

  9. Bollox .. I want Boris to lose the next election .. his replacement will likely win in the absence of any meaningful opposition!

  10. That Sunak and Javid were both willing to go over abuse at Westminster, but not over repeated law breaking by the Prime Minister himself, does rather indicate that they care more about the rules of their own club than about the laws of this country.

  11. He lied to the Queen, the people of the UK, the representatives of other nations, and his Party.

    None of them have a backbone. This isn’t about ‘not supporting the PM’, and being disappointed with this latest farce/scandal, this is them preparing to go for his job.

    Do not be fooled.

  12. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out you pretentious, lying, self serving POS.

    Oh and I mean Johnson. With Sunak out too surely this is the end? I don’t altogether mind Javid.

  13. All these people have actively supported Boris in his destruction of the Tory party, this country’s international reputation, and the dragging of political standards through the gutter.

    YES JAVID you have actively participated in this.

    And as for positioning yourself as leader you like Rishi should just go.

  14. So basically, correct me if I’m over simplifying, a bloke getting hammered and groping two guys on Thursday night has basically made Rishi and Sajid leave Government

  15. So, Javid and Sunak will be running for leader.

    Let’s not forget Sunak’s little tax wheeze which he was no doubt told to “hide in the fridge” for a while over. Funny how the first thing he did was to request how the information was leaked and then spent nearly half a million quid of taxpayers money on image improvement afterwards.

    As to Javid. He’s just a prize cunt.

  16. I hope not I want that fat liar in when we have an election. The only reason these crooks resigned is because of the investigation into the covid contracts, skum
