He who wields the knife never gets the crown-but Javid has shown balls going first- im voting for him! I understand your point but wonder if they decided to both resign at the same time so neither of them would be seen as the one wielding the knife, thereby giving them a chance should there be a leadership election. Surely there is no way back for Johnson now ??

No way back indeed- they could have carved up a top job deal and a swop- like blair/brown, but its early days, respect to Savid thou, unless they did go together and reporting choose him first!

Wow. Never saw either of those coming. And all of the s*** that could finally (and never say never with Johnson) bring down the PM, the fact that it comes down to a drunken moron groping up people has a certain poetic justice. Andrew Marr earlier today thought Javid might resign but wasn’t sure.

The whole raison d'etre of this government, brexit, is a complete disaster and everybody knows, but can't say it. Stand up the first politician brave enough to confront us with the truth. The economic figures like our current account deficit equalling 8.7% of GDP, are like a banana republic. Nobody believes a word of this government at home or abroad there is no point in their existence.

Starmer has changed his tube on Brexit and staying out. What’s your opinion on that?

It's possible. A cheeky bet on Johnson being PM come 2025 might be worth a spare cockle, just for the lolz. The issue is that if he decides not to go then the Tories who want him out, as things stand, only really have one option. Which would be to back a Labour motion for lack of confidence in the Government. That's it, as far as I can see. People want a Government that leads. Sunak was a busted flush anyway and Javid had already supposedly, resigned on principle once before. Maybe this is the shock Johnson needs. But he ain't going anywhere of his own free will.
