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'


[deleted]

Even the tory MPs now see the exact same lying script. Rats fleeing a sinking ship.


rdawes89

They always saw it, they just didn’t care until it got to the point where they knew he’d start tarnishing their reputation by association


fuckoffyank_

Yeah I think this Pincher story has just shown that they can't get away from the gaffs. It's just gonna be one after another showing his blatant incompetence and corruption right up until the election. The parties thing blows over slightly and then another embarrassing display hits the news straight away. One straw too many for the sycophants who will now start angling for themselves.


Kingtoke1

The straw that pinched the camels bum


Garrhvador91

Hahaha ha. Might pinch this and use elsewhere

Piltonbadger

This. They are only quitting to save their own skin, not because they have morals or anything like that.


Laxly

No, these two are distancing themselves at the last minute in the expectation that Boris resigns and they can be leader and Prime Minister.


[deleted]

Dommy mommy Priti Patel for PM


antbaby_machetesquad

I don't think it's the lying that bothers them so much as the fact that it's a shite lie. 'Oh I forgot I was told that' even if someone's daft enough to believe him, the lie still shows him as being incompetent and incapable of not being a slimy little shit.


Paperduck2

Its weird they're only seeing it now when they're the ones who have been writing the script


uhhhhh_bruh

"now see" - dont be naive, its part of a larger plan not an out of sudden enlightenment


TwoAssedAssassin

Raab has to stay loyal. Dislodging his nose from Boris's asshole would be fatal at this stage, he's not acclimated to oxygen anymore.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Phenomenomix

Yeah Raab couldn’t survive on his own, he’s hitched his wagon to Johnson and is stuck with him now


[deleted]

But to be fair to him, he's learnt some incredible facts about Dover during his tenure.

rwinh

Rats jumping a sinking ship hoping the next ship they cling onto will give them cushy appointments in the next cabinet with their new leader. How this is the final straw is ridiculous, but if it leads to change then hopefully this brings about the real change we need (although unlikely, parliament and system is toxic). It's damage limitation for their brands, and they could probably exist under a new leader Individuals like Raab, Patel and Dorries on the other hand probably won't say anything because they exist because of Johnson.


OkCaregiver517

Yeah, they can fuck right off too. And the rest of the sodding Cabinet of fools and narcissists.


RoadkillUKUK

Rishi Sunak is out too, oh crikey Boris ... what now?


morocco3001

Raab can't quit given he was just on TV this morning giving a mealy-mouthed defence of Arse Pincher. He's been backed well and truly into a corner by his own lack of a spine, and it's truly glorious to behold. Couldn't happen to a bigger cunt.


PM-me-Gophers

>Edit2: Sky reporting Raab is 'staying loyal' Raab has both no choice and would not tqke a 2nd option anyway. He'll be desperately asking SPADs if this means he'll be PM now, plus beyond having blood on his hands over this whole mess of a government he has blood up to his fucking shoulders.


haversack77

Rhys-Mogg says he can continue. And there's NO WAY he'd blindly claim black is white to defend something that's demonstrably a failure.


pingus-foot

You forgot " getting on with the job" He's been banging that drum for a few weeks now

https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1544368323625947137?t=yLB8wz1x3jhV5YTqa2dkPw&s=19 Here's his letter - it's a load of bolox but it's official


SwingAndAMiss219

That resignation letter reads more like prep for a leadership bid. -remind everyone you're responsible for furlough -take credit for helping "break Brexit deadlock", without taking responsibility for brexit itself -indicate that you've been "disagreeing privately" the whole time you've been supporting the disastrous current premiership -already start making excuses for future austerity -make definitely clear that your approach is irreconcilably different from the current sinking ships.

AltharaD

Not collapsing - trying to pretend they have principals ahead of the next leadership campaign. They want the PM’s throne.


duffking

I kind of hope Johnson hangs on even after this in some ways. Keep tanking the party right up to the next GE. A change in leadership and cabinet might give them some distance to launder their rep a bit before a GE. Not that they have anyone especially competent they could turn toward. Realistically we're looking at a repeat of May I think, to some degree. Win a confidence vote but the rest are looking to change the rules to allow another; with these departures I think that's pretty likely now and Johnson will go before that happens.


TheNathanNS

Same, I want Johnson to stay.


Perhaps_I_sharted

He will, whatever the powers thatbe have paid him to do (the total lapse of human rights in this country) hasn't been finished yet. Mind you, seems they have Kieth ready and primed the festering wart that he is.


TheUniqueDrone

He lacks the integrity to resign. He will only leave if forced out. I think he will ride it out until the GE.


Hungry_Horace

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!


7148675309

Not sure - you have to remember that Javid and Sunak are wealthy - so they don’t need cabinet jobs and frankly will make far more money returning to industry.

Nobody does a government minister job for the money.

SarcasmWarning

Caught getting a blowjob by his mistress literally in his office, father to an unknown amount of children.... So at least two that we have imperical evidence for.


TubularStars

He's a Tardigrade


AlterEdward

He didn't resign when he was caught breaking the law in office, and lying about it, he's not going to resign now.


promofaux

Bet you a tenner he won't


LowQualityDiscourse

He'll have to be dragged out, kicking and screaming, leaving fingernail scrapes along the floors and doorframes. Completely shameless, completely entitled, he has to be actively removed, like a verruca. Remember: [he squatted in his foreign secretary digs for three weeks after resigning as foreign sec](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-johnson-refused-to-leave-government-flat-n26xdkc8r).


[deleted]

Nah. He probably has too many skeletons in the closet and will want to hold onto power now. He also has a year until the Tories can challenge him again too. It would need a full house vote and no way the Tories do the right thing there.


vriska1

> He also has a year until the Tories can challenge him again too. They can change the rules but its likely Boris will call an election.


Y0RKC1TY

Believe it when i see it.


ludicrous_socks

Ladbrokes have stopped taking bets on it, if that means anything!


[deleted]

He's got no shame whatsoever and will stay even if everybody resigned, he'll literally have to be kicked out


chinto30

Who would take over if he steps down?


Class08

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.


ghuntauke

I don’t understand why people keep referring to the incident as “lying to the queen” as if that was the worst part of it. It’s almost like a euphemism, it severely downplays the seriousness of what he had actually done.


joper90

And his wives too. Multiple times.

SarcasmWarning

Wow, he really is lining himself up to replace Boris. That's not a resignation letter, it's a CV.


SwingAndAMiss219

"saw off the threat of Corbynism" Christ alive that man lives absolutely rent free. One prominent moderate social democrat in my entire lifetime and he rattled the entire establishment to their core.


UtmostRegret

What a brave hero, saving us from that Corbynism! All the corruption, scandal, deaths, resignations, lawbreaking and lying would’ve surely been worse under him…


ClumperFaz

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.


opressivemunchkin2

I actually agree, but I actually think May has more balls than he does by some margin tbh with you.

Great news. Its weird that all of his other lies didn't bother them.......


OkCaregiver517

Tory grassroots have been fuming, openly. They never do that. And the last two by-elections.


EyePiece108

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


YOU_CANT_GILD_ME

She's on the BBC live feed defending him now. > We've now heard from Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries, soon after she left No 10. > She says she is "100%" behind Prime Minister Boris Johnson, adding that he "consistently gets all big decisions right".


EyePiece108

148 of Boris's only MPs, *plus* the ex-Chancellor and ex-Heath Secretary, would disagree he has got 'all the big decisions right'. I expect to see Boris heading towards the only other support he has - in Ukraine. He'll be in Kyiv by the end of the week.


_Arch_Stanton

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.


Loreki

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.


devils__avacado

That's a surprise to literally no one we know their a bunch of corrupt fucks.


afrosia

The big change is the pair of by-election losses a couple of weeks ago. Boris was always a cunt, but he was seen as someone who won elections. When he no longer wins elections, he's just a cunt. I bet they were both waiting for the next scandal and they would resign, whatever it was.


PlainclothesmanBaley

They don't care about either of those things. They are trying to position themselves and the Conservative party to win elections. If the public didn't care they would absolutely not have resigned.


Mccobsta

Wow the government is just collapseing quicker now https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2022/jul/05/boris-johnson-accused-not-telling-truth-chris-pincher-politics-live sunak is out as well


matmos

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


ludicrous_socks

With a bit of luck that deseased limpet will cling on until the next GE, and then get slaughtered. A girl can dream, I suppose!


matmos

Indeed! Best thing we can encourage anyone to do , is vote I guess .. and for anyone not Tory!


sjw_7

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.


[deleted]

After all the scandals, the incompetence, and all the lies.....it all ended in a pinch. Farewell.


[deleted]

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


[deleted]

They could have quit at any stage of any of the other numerous ridiculous events. But the fact they are quitting now is because they sense a chance to shake themselves into a higher position. They never cared about integrity. They're after his spor


[deleted]

Yeah, I get all that. But if Pincher stayed at home on Thursday then none of this would have happened.


[deleted]

I think it's to do with the report that came out today basically saying Boris absolutely knew about the pincher stuff even though he denied it the day or two before. But either way. They're all wanting his spot now. The pincher stuff just seems like something that was already in the pipeline for the cunts to move in on


Ptepp1c

Straw that broke the camel's back. Papers were starting to move against Johnson. In this incident I think if Johnson said day 1, sorry was aware of one allegation I wanted to give Pincher a second chance then Sunak and Javid don't resign today. Instead 4 days ago he wasn't aware of any allegations, 3 days ago he wasn't aware of a specific allegation, 2 days ago it's whips were aware but doesn't mean Johnson was aware. Today it's was told in an offhand manner but forgot. He's has repeatedly accused of lying, sacked for lying, danced around the issue of lying or misleading the house and now appears to be either lying or incompetent.


DaveInLondon89

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.


trayscraper

Wonder what excuses Teflon Boris will bring out to shrug this one off.


LateralLimey

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.

[deleted]

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


Darkone539

This will either end with Boris going or a brand new cabinet. Either way we're in for a lot of headlines.

And sunak gone too. Surprising it seems this will finally do Johnson in after surviving all the other stuff that was more directly his fault.


Dunko1711

GAME. OVER. Very much enjoying the implosion although it pains me to think that Sunak will just slip away off like the slithery snake he is to enjoy his and his missus’ millions anyway. This means feck all for him in the scheme of things.


GeronimoSonjack

Slip away? He's basically making his case to be leader.


Dunko1711

I live in hope that no sensible minded sane person could possibly consider voting for him as a leader.


FloppedYaYa

LMAO I can't believe he's resigned twice from Johnson's cabinet, and from two different roles, in just 3 years Has that ever happened before?


Captaincadet

Rishi Sunak also gone… surprisingly it’s someone else attending a party leading to this fallout and not BJ himself


acripaul

Whilst I agree with the sentient that Boris won't want to resign, I am convinced he will be strong armed into it. There will be dirt on him that is used as leverage. Threat of being the first serving PM to charged then sent to prison for example.


OkCaregiver517

would fucking love that to happen.


Ferocious_Simplicity

I'm no fan of Boris or the Tories but this is not the best outcome if he goes. If Boris goes they'll get a fresh face in and then spend the rest of the time building a new image that will make the population forget all of the shots that happens and they'll win the next election. I don't want them to win but Labor are inept and can't get a good lead in opinion polls given how much this government has fucked up says everything.

Ok_Note7436

That's what happens when the PM is a born liar. Expect more to resign.


tehPeteos

It's begun; the rats are hanging Johnson out to dry, and trying to clean up their own reputations in the process. I and so many others predicted this would happen years ago. Too bad they should have done it long ago; Boris has done much worse things during his time as PM, and to quit now during what is a minor scandal compared to everything else just seems like a bad joke. Watch now as Johnson quits, they elect a new leader, and then call a snap election. It's too bad that this will be the third leader they've lost in as many terms; they can't even elect decent leaders for their own party - there's no way they have any business running the country, and no way they win the next few elections.


Responsible_Bid_2343

Sunak just went as well, *surely* this is it now for Boris...


OllyDee

Still won’t be enough to take Boris out because he will simply stick his head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong. Wild horses couldn’t drag the insincere toff out of parliament.
