Now I think the end is nigh and he'll resign. If he asks the queen for a G.E I don't think she'd agree to it now. Not much more to add.

These silly games are losing voters, and the idea of the 1922 changing the rules on confidence votes sickens me, it like a badly written st trinian's school play

It's all going a little bit Pete Tong in the UK government at the moment isnt it!


About time it all got a re-shuffle. Next thing: Get Borris out!

A number of us have an obligation to keep this country safe,no matter who is PM. The Party has a mechanism to change leaders and that is the mechanism which I advise colleagues to use. In the meantime,the public would not forgive us if we left these Offices of State empty.

Games up, he’s going…. Question is, is he going to take rest of them with him by calling an election…

He’s not resigning as PM, wording has changed to he’s resigning as Tory leader, could still cling to being PM for a bit longer….

I’ll take 1pm.

I suppose technically do we mean his first words at the lectern or the meeting with Her Maj.

He can’t surely stay for another 2/3 months?

Confirmed: Boris Johnson will resign as Conservative leader today - he will continue as Prime Minister until the autumn.

A Conservative leadership race will take place this summer and a new Prime Minister will be in place in time for the Tory party conference in October. - Chris Mason, BBC Political Editor.

What I have always said when a leader resigns is that there should be a new general election.


Let the people decide!


Many people may not agree with whoever is chosen as leader.


Many people may have changed their mind and feel they need a different party all together in power.
