Fascinating that this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I'm very unbiased when it comes to British politics. But he HAS to go now. Sunak was not just his Chancellor, but also his protege. This in not a hurdle that can be overcome by Johnson...surely? |

I mean, Javid has now resigned on principle from the Johnson govt twice, which suggests he's survivable. Sunak surely is not. It's rats leaving a sinking ship, but with every intention of being the captain of the next ship.

It's not the deceiving of the electorate, or the hypocrisy of your actions, or taking steps to ensure the poorest are hit hardest by the cost of living crisis and the recession we're in while your chums get out scott free and with a nice wedge on top, but a good old sex scandal that brings down the government.
Classic British politics...
So begins the game of musical chairs for the next leader of the conservatives.

Have to disagree with you there about Sunak. He's a very smart chap (in my opinion) and he'll have worked out exactly where this is going before shoving his head above the parapet in the manner that he has. I'll happily chomp humble pie if I'm wrong about this. |

I do agree with you about Javid though. He could be the one that comes out of this smelling most pungently of roses |

Let’s hope whoever replaces Sunak actually does some tax cuts and undoes the stupid NI increase properly!

Oh I think you've misunderstood, I meant survivable for Johnson. Sunak one hundred percent thinks this is politically advantageous for him. We'll see if he's right. |
