The end of Boris ?

woodbine

As Javid and Sunak resign from the Govt. this evening is Boris finished? I suspect that one more resignation will be the end game for Boris.

It'll be interesting to watch it unfold @woodbine. Do you think anyone else will resign? If so, who? 

Biblioklept

I'm not at all surprised

woodbine

It's been suggested that neither Raab or Patel will resign other than that it's anyones guess.

Rees-Mogg will, I suspect, be the last to slither over the back door threshold of number ten. 😏

(no offence meant)

If he doesn’t go the 1922 committee will change the rules so that there can be another no confidence vote. I think Liz Truss will take Sunak’s job, not sure who will be the next Health Secretary. I personally wish they’ll just all go, especially the ones that have been making excuses for him and constantly backing him.

Hmmmm intresting, I think I know who will take over boris, will wait and see, I think its obvious.

Zahawi replaces Sunak

Yes, Zahawi, he’s done such a good job and now let’s see what he can do for the economy...😳

Boris will not resign so not sure how they get rid of him at the moment. 

At this point I feel like he's intentionally committing political suicide to avoid investigations.

I don't know anything about Zahawi anything I could read??

PMQs today might actually be an interesting watch.

Zahawi’s voting record on welfare and benefits make for interesting reading.

Do you have a link please @Karen7788?

Theyworkforyou is the website and you can look at any MPs voting record. Some of them are quite eye opening. I often look to see the voting record of my own local MP. It does help when it comes to deciding who to vote for in an election to see if they have the same views as yourself.

Thanks @Karen7788 I had a look and exactly what I expected. 
For anyone else who wants to see Zahawi's voting record https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/24822/nadhim_zahawi/stratford-on-avon/divisions?policy=6670

It was what I expected too @Biblioklept. He also voted against private landlords having to make their houses fit for human habitation.

PA; reporting that amongst others Grant Shapps is advising Boris to resign, my own MP has resigned today from his junior position.

It's possible that Boris will resign this evening, if he doesn't we may see more cabinet ministers resigning tonight.

Karen7788

They’ve had to cancel bill committees in parliament tomorrow because they don’t have enough MPs.
It’s not a good look. 

Sandy_123

Wow, I've not had time to catch up with news not looking good is it

What a mess,  what I don't understand  is that if you resign from a normal job your gone your out and have to look for a new jobs but all these MPs  resign saying it the right thing to do but there still all MPs.  why are they not kick out of Westminster given there p45, and bi elections not called to choose a new MP ?
