No argument with that, but he is breaking precedents by the hour.Parties fight elections
Not individuals
He has no party.
It’s shameful mate.Having a lame duck PM in office for 3 more months will be disastrous in itself - having this man in would be catastrophic. How can he work with any of those who have basically just knifed him. He needs ejecting this evening.
We need to wait for his resignation statement on that I think.HE HAS NO PARTY !!!!
I agree with this.I can't see him hanging on for 3 months, even if he wants to, I think he'll be turfed out in the next few weeks and we'll have an interim like Raab whilst the Tories elect a new leader.
Yes indeed
Yes he is an mp just like T May still is.We need to wait for his resignation statement on that I think.
If he agrees to resign as Prime Minister he will still (I think) be Conservative MP for Uxbridge and Ruislip?
Again, doesn't usually happen but this is not a usual individual nor circumstances.
Yeah he’ll still be an MP. Unless he gets deselected. Which might actually happen and would be funnyWe need to wait for his resignation statement on that I think.

It's the position of Prime Minister that has the power.He’s resigned as head of the party
He no longer has any power.
The good people of Uxbridge haven’t seen him in their town since the last election night vote. I can’t imagine he’s going to rock up weekly in the Uxbridge local Tory offices to hold surgeries, chatting to old pensioners who complain about the cost of Nero lattes going up.Yeah he’ll still be an MP. Unless he gets deselected. Which might actually happen and would be funny
Where at Ziggy?If you have opportunity. There’s an urgent on the Johnson’s meeting in Italy with Lebedev now. Just started.
we are not America.Never underestimate the lunacy of a would be autocrat. We have seen how the GOP in the US pandered to Trump and how they now find it almost impossible to rid themselves of him due to the voting power of his base supporters.
Johnson isn't as daft as Trump, but he is far more capable of gaming the system. Take nothing for granted just like Cummings says. He knows him personally and has seen the sociopath up close.
