Boris is like a cockroach he will survive

Is this finally the end of Boris?

And the vice-chair of the Conservative party has resigned live on air.

69% of Britain think he should resign

Today was already a wild ride ever since the McDonald letter this morning,

This is the biggest scandal to hit Boris since last week. Theresa May must be cracking open another bottle of wine right about now.

what was the mcdonalds letter

Lord McDonald put out a letter yesterday morning that absolutely blew open Johnson's false narrative

This is the biggest scandal to hit Boris since last week. Theresa May must be cracking open another bottle of wine right about now.

Definition of insanity.

Boris will be out of power the second he's forced out, and not a moment sooner.

He was just given a year of breathing room, too.

She supposed to be British Hilary?

pretty sure May is conservative.

I didn't think a burger clown had that sort of clout in British government, but the dude's apparently got a title and everything.

Haven't been paying much attention to international affairs, what happened that's causing all of this?

• Deputy Chief Whip resigned after being caught groping people.
• It emerges he had previous allegations against him that Boris should aware of when he was appointed.
• Number 10 sends out a string of Ministers to do the press circuits, claiming Boris knew nothing.
• Turns out (shock!) Boris knew everything.
• The story from Number 10 keeps changing, to the extent that Ministers touting the official line on national TV are finding out just hours later that they were sent out to lie.
• Lord McDonald publishes a letter saying that not only did Boris know, as has already come out, but that Pincher was found guilty of the assaults, which Number 10 had referred to just as the matters being "resolved".
• Urgent Question is asked in Parliament about this yesterday afternoon. Boris sends yet another Minister to answer it, and his response, predictably, has already been contradicted.
• Boris finally makes a statement yesterday evening saying that while he had been told that Pincher was a proven sex pest, he "forgot".
• Almost immediately after this the resignations start coming in. Mainly because people are upset that they were directed to lie about Boris promoting a groper, not because the groper got promoted.

Boris won't leave unless dragged into the streets.

Starmer really needs to hammer home that Conservatives have been backing Boris, saying they have confidence in him and defending him/lying for him over and over for years now.

He does mention it but only mildly after making other weaker points.

The entire party is corrupt

Even if by some miracle he does leave, who would replace him?

Isn't it a bit unfair to call him the British Trump? Boris shares many of the same traits and I've read that he plays up the clownery but in reality he's actually competent enough to push his nonsense successfully. Trump is just an idiot.

Up to 18 resignations now, for those keeping score.

And now we're up to 21. At this rate there'll be no-one but Boris left.
