Another One Bites The Dust. Children’s Minister Resigns.

[Gromit]

Will Quince who was humiliated on Monday has resigned.

He said: "With great sadness and regret, I have this morning tendered my resignation to the prime minister after I accepted and repeated assurances on Monday to the media which have now been found to be inaccurate."

Oh dear.

[youngmafbog]

Hopefully wont be the last.

But for me there is only one name I want to see on a resignation list.

The Sun newspaper has stated that Larry, Chief Rodent Controller has resigned too. It must be true - its in the Sun.

What Heseltine has said.

'I like you. You're a rogue. You have no sense of integrity': Tory peer's damning message to Boris Johnson
Former prominent cabinet member and Tory peer Lord Heseltine has been speaking to Sky News.
A man who played a central role in the ousting of Margaret Thatcher in 1990, he said of the latest developments: "I think it's part of a process that had become inevitable since the 148 backbenchers voted against the prime minister and Michael Howard and William Hague, as former leaders of the Conservative Party, said he had to go.
"It was only a matter of time before the boil was lanced, and that's what has now happened."
Asked what his message to Boris Johnson would be now, he said: "He knows what I would say to him. 'Boris, I like you. You're a rogue. You have no sense of integrity. When took over my constituency, we had a good personal relationship. Your fundamental weakness is you have absolutely no sense of truth or integrity. And your career, since you became leader of the party, has been one serious disaster after another. The biggest of them all being Brexit.
"And the one characteristic they all had in common is that you don't know the difference between truth and non truth. You use the truth when it's convenient. You disregard it when it's not. And the consequence is now we have the most serious economic crisis, we have a major threat to the United Kingdom and you have trounced Britain's reputation across the world."
While he has long been a critic of Mr Johnson, his assessment could hardly be more damning.

Hmm, not sure quoting Tarzan is helping our cause.

Johnson is simply not fit to be PM, he is not a Conservative but a green liberal clearly dictated to by is green zealot home wrecker wife, so should not be in No10.

[naomi24]

YMB, did you honestly read all that?

[Ken4155]

If Johnson does go, JRM goes with him. When interviewed on Channel 4 News, last night, (in which he continued to defend Johnson, despite the two high-profile resignations) he stated he had no desire to work under any other PM.

[naomi24]

Good for him.

11 have gone from the Tory party in total so far.

[naomi24]

//11 have gone from the Tory party in total so far. //

From the party?

[Gromit]

Sharon obviously meant 11 have left the Government.

They are still Conservative MPs and members of the party.

[youngmafbog]

//YMB, did you honestly read all that?//

Nope, I stopped at the mention of Tarzan. First line.

No one has gone from the Tory Party, apart from Pincher. They have resigned their Ministerial posts and are now Conservative backbenchers

[THECORBYLOON]

I make it thirteen resignations now.

[naomi24]

//Nope, I stopped at the mention of Tarzan. First line. //

I got to the third.

I think Sharon's confused.

[Gromit]

// I think Sharon's confused. //

No she isn’t, she just used the wrong terminology.
11 ministers have left the sinking ship Boris. They remain in the Conservative party. They will get to vote again on Boris as leader, or who should be the new leader.

[naomi24]

Gromit, //No she isn’t//

I think she is.

[Gromit]

OK naomi. We all make mistakes.

[Gromit]

And another…

// Robin Walker resigns as schools minister //

[THECORBYLOON]

He was included in my count of thirteen.
