Trying to stay on until they find a replacement - that seems unlikely after the last few days...
One would assume that he will be desperate to get a term that lasts longer than May's which he doesn't have at the moment. Interestingly he is presently precisely on par with Neville Chamberlain. |

I suspect that Boris will depart by midday today.
If not, he will turn into a pumpkin? |

Thing is after the last few weeks how the hell is he going to populate a cabinet (which is a basic requisite for being PM) without a lot of people looking extremely hypocritical, there has basically been no government for a fair few weeks already and the stagnation will just continue until he is out.

Michael Fabricant would be a good successor.
He's got the hair and the values to ensure a seamless transition.
A lot of the electorate might not even notice.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

I didn't realise he was an actual bona fide politician until recently. I thought he was just some odd troll on twitter! |

Bobby Buckland appears to be the new Welsh Secretary, as Johnson appears to be appointing ministers for no particular reason.

Mop head is talking.
Time for a new conservative leader, and a new PM. Timetable for election to be released next week.
Wobbling on about the "mandate", brexit, vaccine and Ukraine again.

Still not enough of a crisis for Justin Tomlinson to be recalled from the backbenches.

Did he even actually say explicitly that he resigned, if he hasn't been to see Brenda I don't think he actually has. It all seems very general and generic and I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to claim down the line that he never actually resigned unless it has been put in writing - all very Trumpy? |

He's more desperate to hang on long enough for his wedding celebration at chequers at the end of July so Carrie doesn't have a hissy fit. |
