Got news for the Remainiacs. If Boris has to go. It’s not going to stop Brexit or reverse it, as the silly old prick, Michael Heseltine alluded to this morning on Sky News.

it not about Brexit at all it about him making rules for everyone and none for him and all his lies about it he thinks he above the law

Spot on Ben. No large UK political party has rejoin in their manifesto.

It's interesting that on this forum, Leave voters like Chris and Seph are at the head of the queue in demanding Johnson does the decent thing and resign, in order to increase the Conservatives' electoral chances in 2024.

Good question.

In my view - A Remainiac is someone like Heseltine, Lord Adonis who think Brexit is reversible when and if Boris resigns. They have pretty much said so.

We're all remainers now, as in we remain outside the eu

Speaking of unpopular views Mark Jennkison said earlier "the Labour Party was in cahoots to bring down the democratically elected PM"

what a berk, his constituents deserve better

They'd be mental to go near it full stop

Do people think that when Johnson resigns, he will also resign as an MP or will he remain as an MP until the 2024 election?

I wish I shared your joint optimism, I'm starting to think he's going to duck and dive his way out of this somehow.

Why should he resign as an MP?

You currently got a former Labour MP, Claudia Webb, until she had whip removed, who was charged with threatening to throw Acid and received a suspended jail sentence for doing so, sitting as a Independent MP.

Plus Corbyn, who did little to curb Antisemitism in the Labour Party, also sitting as a Independent MP (who has tweeted in last hour he’s lost his latest round of being readmitted to the Labour Party).

They used to be known as 'remoaners' because they simply would not shut up about it. Now they seem to have morphed into 'rejoiners'.

And you say this before the Gray report is published and the police have completed their investigation. Interesting.

Boris is still saying he will be exonerated, by the way. I predict there will be a lot of eggs on faces. The only question that remains is which direction they will fly.

Deny it as much as you like, but I can assure you there is a rejoin movement. No political party has embraced it....yet.

He won't resign (no need to) and he will remain as PM to fight another election.

Sorry to be the one to burst your balloon, Andrew.

No need to duck and dive. The facts will speak for themselves and he will be exonerated. You'll see.

Well I think they should resign, especially Webb to be fair.
