If there is another vote next week, and he loses, what happens when he refuses to resign? Presumably the queen would have to get involved?

Suella Braverman reckoning she has a hope in hell of any job whatsoever in a non-Johnson cabinet, let alone be leader, is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a day with some pretty fierce competition.

I am waiting for the first Downfall video parody.

Send Mims Davies to make a categorical denial, she's easy on the eye.

Err, prime minister, Mims Davies has ....

Fuck that then, what about Robin Walker?

Spads look at each other hesitantly....

Fantastic, I'd enjoy that with popcorn (if it wasn't for these pesky Brexit shortages)

The Sun could have saved themselves a bit of work and dusted off their headline from 2010.

SQUATTER HOLED UP IN No. 10

Number of resignations: 53.

That final conversation as we turned in for the night;

Fr. K: "Final headlines tonight?"

Me: "He's made Dilyn the next Reichsführer and Patel is fighting a breakout with Martin Bormann at Pichelsdorf Bridge."

Fr. K: "This sounds depressingly familiar."

Michelle Donelan lasted 24 hours as Education Secretary. Only one minister in Education, and she's in the Lords.

Even the subs are quitting.
Did she agree to the education job, or was she another Johnson mistruth?

Ha ha.

I was unfair. She did 36 hours.

Thank fuck. Aside from all the enjoyment I'm feeling at this, people like Donelan NOT being anywhere near education, Higher or School, is a great relief.

HE'S RESIGNING

Currently on BBC1, journos outside No. 10.

Kay Burley says Johnson's done.

Reports from 'senior sources' - "It's done", "It's over."

Resignation statement written and Johnson agrees to go. No lectern yet, though, but only a few hours away.

In the words of Charles I, "That will be the sign."

Probably Brandon Lewis was the final straw. But no idea of what happens next, normally he would stay in post whilst the Tories choose a new leader. Perhaps...

I believe he’s making staying on till then a condition of surrender

Confirmed that he will be making a statement today.

Meanwhile in Downing Street
