Their resignations came just minutes after Johnson went on television to apologize for appointing lawmaker Christopher Pincher to a role involved in offering pastoral care in the Conservative Party.
Pincher’s resignation last Thursday triggered days of a changing narrative from Downing Street over what the prime minister knew of the deputy chief whip’s behaviour and when he knew it.
Earlier on Tuesday after a former top official accused Johnson’s office of lying, the prime minister’s spokesman was forced into a quick about-turn to say the British leader had been briefed in “some form” about the case but had forgotten about that last week.
For many in the governing party, another allegation of lying and the explanation of a loss of memory only heightened their frustration with the Johnson administration, which some lawmakers say is paralyzed by having to deal with scandals.
Cabinet? Who needs a stinking cabinet!
The entire cabinet has resigned, except Gove and a couple of others. And rumours are that Gove will meet with BoJo privately later today.
The shameful, clownish years of shameful clownery have culminated finally in one last shameful, clownish episode of shameful clownery, it seems.
I have to admit that I'll miss him. It's been a half-decade of almost unimaginable incompetence and silly-buggery, even by British standards. In its way, it was absolutely heroic!Cabinet? Who needs a stinking cabinet!
When a regime has been in power too long, when it has fatally exhausted the patience of the people, and when oblivion finally beckons – I am afraid that across the world you can rely on the leaders of that regime to act solely in the interests of self-preservation, and not in the interests of the electorate.
That's a BoJo quote that today he's claiming he didn't say.
Sure, but I'm getting a bit tired of the right winger anti-politician, buffoons.I have to admit that I'll miss him. It's been a half-decade of almost unimaginable incompetence and silly-buggery, even by British standards. In its way, it was absolutely heroic!
He's out!He's not going to resign!!!... The cabinet has resigned around him, except for the sleaze-fuck, shitbag Gove - who BoJo fired BEFORE he could resign. (Probably because BoJo has been dying to fire the little fucker's toady ass for 5 years and now it doesn't matter any more)!
Only the Downing Street cat remains loyal - and THAT little fucker is being bribed with gourmet tuna filets!
It's the most ridiculous bullshit in British parliamentary history!!!!
The cat resigned too. He didn't sign a letter of resignation. He just pooped on BoJo's desk and headed out the door.He's out. That's 3 'populists' done with.
I think the Russian nuclear arsenal and the sheer silliness of anyone trying to ever invade Russia has a lot to do with the little cunt being so cocky as well.Between him. Macron. Scholz. and Biden. You kind of get the idea why Putin was never really trembling in his boots.
The cat has way more class.The cat resigned too. He didn't sign a letter of resignation. He just pooped on BoJo's desk and headed out the door.
Back?Bojo will be back.
Frankfooter I expect better knowledge of political gamesmanship out of you. Bojo will be around until October, by then the Tories will have fucked up so bad that anyone chosen to be PM will be a Kim Campbell. They'll be begging Bojo to stay on.Back? Won't he spend the next year holding rallies while claiming he's still PM?
They are pretty short of talent, mainly because they're such assinine wankers. BoJo will try and make a rally.Frankfooter I expect better knowledge of political gamesmanship out of you. Bojo will be around until October, by then the Tories will have fucked up so bad that anyone chosen to be PM will be a Kim Campbell. They'll be begging Bojo to stay on.
I'm sure by October BoJo will be trying to win the election for conservative leader himself again.Frankfooter I expect better knowledge of political gamesmanship out of you. Bojo will be around until October, by then the Tories will have fucked up so bad that anyone chosen to be PM will be a Kim Campbell. They'll be begging Bojo to stay on.
