The party's over.

[The Lone Gunman]

Johnson has no shame whatsoever, but we knew that already. The way in which he is currently clinging onto power is comical and cringeworthy in equal measures.

People actually voted for this man. There were millions who genuinely believed Johnson would make a good Prime Minister, but that’s the British public for you.

Surely the people who voted for him and cuddle up to him even now call him Boris, not Johnson though.

Sacking Gove ffs. It's like he's trashing the Conservative party out of spite.

heard some hilarious speculation that he could call a snap general election out of spite, to screw over those that have brought him down. don't think it can happen without a vote though

Gove sacking - Johnson's revenge?

Did they? I suppose his constituents did, but in the UK we have a parliamentary system, not a presidential system. The voters voted for the party, not the man.

[The Lone Gunman]

Did they?

Yes, they did. Very definitely.

[HiVis]

Yes, they did. Very definitely.

How is this possible given his name was on just 1 of 650 ballot papers?

[lardy]

With that logic, Corbyn had no effect on Labour's votes which makes all the effort the press put in to attacking him pointless.

My view is that, whether rightly or wrongly, a lot of the public, including Labour supporters, saw Labours policies as being too left wing under Corbyn, and voted accordingly.

Yes, I think they did, you only had to listen to red wall voters who’d switched to the Tories talking on the day after the election in 2019 to see that Johnson played a very large part in them voting the way they did.

[splott parker]

It’s been in chaos for ages

[Hilts]

The worst Government in UK history.

[ninian opinian]

This should be on the Politics Board so at least add something football related.

I’ll start, “We can see you sneaking out”

[chrisp_1927]

Surely even johnson has to realise the game is up now !

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Slimey creeps the Tories

They will all be after his job if he resigns , as he should

Trouble is the opposition is split between starmer who is utterly hopeless and the liberals

The country is crying out for someone other than the blue meanies but looking at the opinion polls starmer et al are hardly pulling up trees

One of the wet lot will stand and the country will say oh OK go on then .....

It's thoroughly depressing

I’m just glad some of the Cabinet are finally locating their backbone - I want the Tories out as much as anyone, but I want this disgrace of a PM out more.

Need more than a two party state…can’t stand either of em

[William Treseder]

Johnson and his mob have stumbled from one disaster to another, and yet they would still probably win a general election tomorrow. The opposition is that bad!!
