    Nadhim Zahawi put the final knife in!

    When asked to become Chancellor, I did it out of loyalty. Not a man, but loyalty to this country and all it has given me.

    "Yesterday, I made clear to the prime minister alongside my colleagues in No 10 that there was only one direction where this was going, and that he should leave with dignity.

    "Out of respect, and in the hopes that he would listen to an old friend of 30 years, I kept this counsel private.

    "I am heartbroken that he hasn't listened and that he is now undermining incredible achievements on the government at this late hour.

    "But the country deserves a government that is not only stable, but which acts with integrity."

    Yvette Cooper not for me, at least Nandy voted for May's deal as the majority her constituents voted to leave, not that it was a good deal, were as Cooper dissed them, still a lot of resentment in the Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford area.

    Great, the Tory party get ANOTHER chance at electing a leader to tell us what’s best. How many is that now over the last 12 years?

    For better or worse, that's how our Parliamentary democracy works. We don't have a presidential system despite what some PM's might think! The Conservative Party has a 80 seat or so majority in the HoC and that won't change significantly for the foreseeable future. It's now up to the conservatives to sort out a new leader (who would then of course become PM) to replace the liar-in-chief. Personally, I hope that is sooner rather than later whether permanently or as a caretaker.

    Bullingdon Bantams will be spoilt for choice when Sunak, Zahawi, Javid and Patel put themselves forward.

    Bunter seems determined to hang on as PM until the autumn party conference. Clearly many Tory MPs think that will be a horror show, but I'm not sure if there's anything except persuasion that they can do to prevent this. And persuasion alone is unlikely to work with Johnson.
    Could put the Queen in a difficult position if her PM doesn't command the confidence of her government.

    Don't forget the archetypal swivel-eyed loon, Steve Baker, who's threatening to stand on a platform of ripping up all environmental protections. No doubt @Tony Wilkinson@Tony Wilkinson would approve.

    Good riddance to the lying sack of shit, unfortunately he’ll probably be replaced by someone else with morals as low as a snakes belly.

    Most of the leading candidates are ultra Thatcherite extremists, last seen disappearing off to the right of Ghengis Khan. Sunak, Braverman, Javid, Truss, Baker... and the list goes on.

    Having ground the country into the dirt with Austerity Economics for ten years before the pandemic, leaving our public services in tatters, the leading contenders all want to double down on those policies, causing more misery for millions. You couldn't make it up.

    They should change the name of their party from Conservative (since they conserve nothing) to Destructive.

    Braverman is so detestable that words cannot describe.

    Out of interest which in your view have no chance of becoming Johnson's replacement?

    Sunak with his tax avoiding wife who had his own US green card?
    Javid with his own tax avoiding background?
    Zahawi with his connections to a dodgy very wealthy gangster family in Kurdistan and who has already been investigated secretly by the NCA?
    Patel with her links to Israeli intelligence and her penchant for bullying her staff?

    There's not a great choice there imo!
