			NEW: One minister who saw @BorisJohnson after the resignations of @RishiSunak and @sajidjavid tells me: Boris does not look like a PM about to relinquish the seals of office. He is bullish - Nicholas Watt, Political Editor BBC Newsnight. 
 
Johnson will be one of those who won’t leave until he’s dragged kicking and screaming.

 Exactly. 
 
I think many are now waking up to the fact that Johnson's days are numbered and feel it's better to jump ship than wait for the lifeboats. 
 
I do wonder what Old Boy has to say on the subject?
