As to who should be the next PM, I’d be happy with Ben Wallace. His defiance against Russia has impressed me.

Yes, good shout, I like him too.

The Conservatives haven’t broke through in Scotland since before the Suez crisis. The successor to Boris should stick to what they know best kick starting the south east economy to pay for us up in the provinces. We can use the Barnett consequentials to pay for all the free stuff.

Since the first quote came from a No. 10 source, pretty sure that’s not "press speculation"…
Quote:
A No 10 source on Thursday said Mr Johnson spoke to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the Conservative 1922 Committee, to inform him of his decision to resign.
“The prime minister has spoken to Graham Brady and agreed to stand down in time for a new leader to be in place by the conference in October,” the source said.

LONDON, July 7 (Reuters) - Britain's Boris Johnson plans to continue as a member of parliament when he steps down as prime minister, one of his close aides said on Thursday.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
My own opinion is that joker Boris has been a total disgrace and should have resign after he received the fixed penalty notice he should have quit.
EVERY MEMBER of this forum HAD to abide by rules that he set during lock down. yet he broke them, and the law, he even lied to Parliament.
I do NOT have any sympathy for him what so ever.
This is the same. One rule for an old Etonian, and one rule for others
I am going for Nadine as the next pm

You are delusional if you think everyone on the forum (or otherwise) abided by all the rules in lockdown.
If you look hard enough, you might find one or two saints out there. 
The vast majority broke them at some point, I dont personally know of anyone who didnt.

I actually think we were doing pretty well abiding by the rules right up until gollum went to Durham, we should have all realised then that bozo was a wrong un

Hey!! I was a good girl. Mind as I live 5 minutes from a marvellous beach I found it easy to go out and avoid the rest of the world and stick to the 2 metre rule. Independent butchers ,baker and greengrocer made it even easier to stick to the rules.However it seems that those telling us to behave weren’t trustworthy after all.

'To be in place by' because it could take that long. However it may only take two or three weeks.

This is just all good political capital for Labour, treading out the buzzword of "zombie government" (heard it about 30 times already this morning) demanding a General Election, whilst totally forgetting the government had an 80 seat majority and an overwhelming mandate to govern.
Labour will call for a vote of no confidence, putting Conservatives in the paradox of having to cast a positive vote for the guy they just sacked.

Government is about far more than just legislation. Even where there is legislation this requires the direction of a Government department, it’s officials and it’s lawyers to draft, consult and introduce the legislation at a later date.
So this very much is a zombie Government regardless of the fact Parliament is in recess for a portion of that time.
Putin will be loving it!
