He’s just claimed that people should stick to the rules that were set

Well, apart from covid regulations & agreements with other countries….

She looks at Johnson the way I look at a 14oz ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce and chips, washed down by a full-bodied Shiraz or Zinfandel…

Nadhim Zahawi is one of a few that hasn’t publicly supported Boris?

BJ wants Truss apparently. Zahawi threatening to resign unless he gets the job.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion

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.

Myself and my wife said the same thing when we heard about the events this evening, he'll not go unless forced.

You obviously don’t read very well as I have stated that I want him gone.

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?

What has brought Mr Johnson to this position is the same character flaws that have dogged his entire career: his persistent lying and flagrant disregard for the codes and conventions that necessarily underpin public life…

… Mr Johnson’s serial dishonesty is utterly corrosive of effective government...
