According to the BBC, the UK is "officially" without a PM for around one hour on Wednesday.

[Jackdaw33]

Surely the Tories should have learned from Labour the perils of leaving the choice to the wider membership, although in this instance it wouldn't have made any difference.

[retrocop]

Heck. I’m sure we will all pull together and survive for 1 hour.

[retrocop]

I remember when the country was left in the charge of Sloggem Prescott whilst Bliar was strutting his stuff on the World stage. Prescott spent all his time playing croquet on the lawns of Dorney wood.Acting the squire. We all survived

[Baldric]

We were probably better off with Prescott doing that tbh.

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, in theory, Johnson may not become the PM automatically.

Well, there’s a tiny bit of hope, corbyloon.

[ToraToraTora]

so basically TCL, you need enough tories to declare, by tomorrow PM that they would not serve under BJ? Getting a bit desperate aren't we? Turkeys don't vote for xmas.

[Old_Geezer]

Straw clutching by those unable to accept reasonable activity. Members or no members, the result was identical.

And it'd be foolish to have a GE anyway with no party in a position to fight one. The Tory party is probably best positioned, and should they have the sense to agree with the Brexit party that they don't contest constituencies when strong Tory Brexiteers are standing, thus avoiding splitting the democratically minded vote, BJ could do well. (The Brexit party may like to consider trying for the same deal with Labour too.)

How hot is your village Spath?

hur hur hur ! - Tropic of WHitehall - geddit ?

no no really I was mistaken, I wasnt just saying it for effect - ABers are naturally generous and sharers

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, including the DUP, the Tories have a working majority of two MPs.

It only takes a few disgruntled Tory MPs to put the kibosh on Boris' ambitions, me old wally.

[THECORBYLOON]

According to Donald Trump, we call Boris "Britain (sic) Trump" and Boris and Nigel Farage are going to work well together and do some wonderful things...

God help us all.

[Peter Pedant]

Foop ! as someone might say
we are completely screwed

but at least he hasnt crashed the economy yet !

[trying to look on the bright side]

the beeb has some idea we always have to have a prime minister for some reason

altho considering seriously the no hopers who are on the first best prime ministers we have list
I dont see it makes a difference
and might even be an improvement
ter daaah !

[10ClarionSt]

So, the nob with the gob got the job?

[ToraToraTora]

we are never without a PM, when the Queen accepts TM's resignation it is in advance of the actual time she is replaced. She is still the PM until Boris is invited by HM to form a government.

[naomi24]

HereIam Tuesday. You’re right. I am away so not posting much. What do I think? I hope Boris tells the EU in no uncertain terms just where to stick their rotten deal.

[hereIam]

Ha! Totally agree naomi. Enjoy your hols...

Try to stick around Naomi, we may need some of your wisdom.
