Quite worrying potentially considering the harm and division he could still create.

Boris Johnson is to resign as Conservative leader today and make a statement to the country.

But he plans to continue to serve as prime minister until the autumn to allow a Tory leadership contest to take place in the summer.

Calls are growing for him to step down sooner, with some Tory MPs saying he must go now and it's impossible for him to stay on.

More than 50 government ministers and aides have quit.

Labour leader Keir Starmer welcomes Johnson's impending resignation, saying the Conservatives have "inflicted chaos upon the country" during a cost of living crisis.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss - who has remained silent for days - is cutting short a foreign trip and returning to London.

Nadhim Zahawi this morning told Johnson he must "go now", two days after being made chancellor.

While New Education Secretary Michelle Donelan and Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis resigned from cabinet.

Pah, what he plans and what he can realise are two different things. He's done. This manouver will not save him. It will enrage even more people in his party.

He's done, he is just "aping" around. Last twitches before exitus.

German press writes there are rumours from Westminster that Theresa May wants to take over the helm.

Zombiecalypse in Londown.

Not a cat in hells chance....it would be hard to choose which one was the worst.

Boris Johnson is expected to make a statement outside Downing Street at 12.30 BST confirming his resignation as Conservative leader.

Even our Danish and Swedish newspaper have it as breaking news.

One of the Danish newspaper had an issue on FB and here a person wrote

Directly translated

"Best PM since Thatcher. politicians without a spine have stabbed him in the back."

There are also a discussion whether he only resign as leader of the party and stay as PM or he is resigning from both. Some say he is also resigning as PM and not just as their leader.

Downfall of the Greased Pig

Incompetent Ministers, Chaotic Leadership, Sleaze Allegations, Wallpapergate , Paterson Scandal, Partygate, Pincher Pervert, Illegal Immigration, Brexit.

Every one of those mentioned above and a lot more not mentioned is steeped in Prime Minister failure, the only thing the Tories didn't **** up was Austerity, aye, they did a bleeding good job on the disabled and the poor on that one, but for the rich and those big corporations it was fill yer boots time.

Austerity Success Rating 10\10.

The Tories have been in power for 12 years, the damage they have done to communities around the country is so profound that most of them will never ever recover, and while devastating those communities they have increased the UK National Debt to £2 Trillion and 697 Billion, and this, from the Political Party that supposedly keeps a tight grip on the country's finances.
Financial Failure Rating 10\10 on that one.

Year upon year they have given the Rich and the Huge Corporations tax breaks without fail, while they steamed full throttle ahead implementing a benefit system that practically blamed the disabled and the poor for the country's financial woes. Not the rich, not the corporations, not the huge amount of illegal and legal immigrants but the disabled and the poor.
Citizen Failure Rating 9\10 on that one.

Infact it's pointless selecting any other area of government that they haven't ****ed up, if a Tory Minister got their sticky little fingers on it you can guarantee that if it wasn't already ****ed it soon would be.
Minister Competence Failure Rating 9\10 on that one as well.

Overall the political structure in the UK is ****ed up from Top to Bottom, there are very few Lords or MPs who deserve to be in Westminster as a visitor never mind going in there and bleeding working in it every day. Then there's your Local Councillors, (Crikey, I need to go and relieve the contents of my stomach, again) I hate to say this but the Bottom dwellers are as corrupt as the Top one's are, dearie me what a set of bleeding useless political Knob Heads we've got trying to run the country.
National Political Party Failure Rating 9\10 on that one again.

What about the Labour Opposition Party some people ask?, yeah, they would be brilliant if you wanted a National Debt of £5 Trillion and a UK population of over 110 Million, yeah, vote for them if that's what you want, but lets not forget that the Labour Party can't even define what a Woman is, so, running the country is a big bleeding, No, No until they stop ****ing about and start to get a grip on things that really matter.

"Prime Minister of the Flies", that's some coalition.

MGR1 · 07-07-22, 10:49 AM

BoJo represents everything wrong with English Conservatism to the Scottish eye, so no doubt the Scottish Tories are breathing a sigh of relief now that particular millstone around their necks is on his way out.

I would say that the overall feeling in Scotland is quiet satisfaction, tempered with caution as to who will be next.

Makes me wonder if the Scottish people are convince they will get their referendum, when a new PM take place in Downing street 10.

Boris is to be a caretaker PM. Ask Man Utd how well caretakers do.
