Then who the devil takes over?
As much as they should go, I worry about who's next inline.
Priti?
Raab?
Truss?
Fook me what a list.
Shame Rory Stewart isn't about still as he might be the best of a exceptionally bad group.
Whatever happens I see no positives in them either staying or going. We are truly fooked.
Any chance the Conservatives can get a loan in from another party for the next 2.5 years? |  |

The main question in my head is this: Will they try to claim the fines on expenses? |  |

They should both resign now along with Patel for her disgraceful efforts to block refugees from Ukraine alone. Any MP whose taken a donation from a Russian oligarch should also resign and quite frankly charged with handling stolen goods.
A general election should be called and all these people barred from standing along with anyone who has previously fiddled their expenses. It’s time to get some standards back into public life. In the interim six weeks, a coalition government should be formed.
Wild dreams, but I’m tired of people using the job of MP or Minister primarily for their own ends
Nobody makes people become an MP. They should be paid properly for the responsibility they hold and sorry Starmer and co, they should not be allowed to serve if they have second jobs. Either focus on representing the people or stick with your other job. [Post edited 13 Apr 2022 8:15]

Yep, they (well the PM) could have gone for a number of reasons already but having slept on it I am more inclined to now believe that they won't ride out this storm and this is finally the straw that'll break the proverbial camel's back.
Scares the bejesus out of me who is next though. | |

Well the big name appointment has failed spectacularly so presumably they will be looking for a safe pair of hands to steer them to the next general election. Most likely candidates are Mick McCarthy or Neil Warnock. At that point they'll likely look for the elusive young up and coming prospect to take over. |  | | |

The scary thing is that Mick McCarthy, and especially Colin, would almost certainly do a better job than Johnson. | | | |

Doesn’t matter who’s next in terms of preserving our integrity. If you’ve a democracy underpinned by unwritten rules and convention, if you don’t follow those rules your democracy falls apart. That’s where we’re at.
But yes, of course the party is now stuffed full of self serving, intellectual pygmies who’ll continue to shaft the people and the UK. But they can be voted out at the next election (if enough people are prepared to pull their heads out of their arses and see the damage being done). |  |

Tugendhat has got absolutely no chance.
First he appears to be pretty much honest.
Second he is married to a French woman, and has dual UK and French citizenship, so he is practically a traitor. | | | |

If it wasn’t for the fact that letting public standards slide has gotten us into the current mess with BoJo et al, I’d be tempted to say better the devil you know. The other likely replacements amazingly feel as bad if not worse in many respects.
But there needs to be a line drawn. What would be good would to use that as an opportunity to actually raise the bar and establish a new standard for those looking to move into the gap. Whatever the Conservative Party decide internally, the public should be willing and able to reject and protest against the candidates by any legal means possible. And send a clear message that this isn’t the usual bait and switch and we suddenly pretend everything is different.
Because it isn’t. Not only do we have far too many opportunist, dishonest, lying chancers in public life but these are the very people who play the system to become the de facto leaders. And yes, I absolutely 100% include Starmer and the Labour Right cabal in that.
At present, we are getting the worsening political debates and valueless, self-interested politicians we deserve. Time to step up and demand much, much better. |  |

Phew was a bit worried you wouldn't include a snipe at Starmer in a thread about the Tory leader/PM but you came through at the end |  | | |

No sign of neo-liberalism though. I think that’s saved up for GB - talking of which we haven’t heard his take on the latest Partygate developments. |  | | |
