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.

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. |
