Probably, but also the second Boris is gone, so is she. Nobody else would give her a ministerial post so this is 50/50 self preservation/gently caress buddy.

This is also the case for most of the Government Of None Of The Talents.

The complete lack of non-Boris prospects, that is, not the loving. Hopefully.

Lmao if you think Boris would take a bullet for anything or anyone

Lol of course he wouldn’t. But this doesn’t require him to. Boris gets to stay big dog for a while longer, and who knows, maybe he can turn it around? Meanwhile the party just waits around for a year while Boris soaks up blame and can finally chuck him once the rules allow, just in time to roll into the next election. It’s going to be pretty weird to have a pariah prime minister though.

Anyway, it’s kind of remarkable how this whole drama is going on around a scandal that is hardly mentioned. I know it’s because that MP groped some dudes but everything else about who knew what when and all that is just a bare relevant footnote when it’s ostensibly the actual centre of everything.

I mean, I think he should stay; watching all the Tories too cowardly to VONC him having to deal with his poo poo is great content, he’s doing repeated (but surely temporary) damage to the Tory party, and nothing will really improve in any meaningful way when he goes.

But then again, I’m no longer a Labour voter, so

I for one hope Boris stays on regardless. Just removes everyone even remotely competent enough to understand the writing on the wall, triples down on Brexit until even Starmer realizes it's a bad idea, then triggers a GE right before they rewrite the confidence vote rules specifically to take him out.

In any case, if he does stay on, there's going to be tons of new ministers appointed by him going "While these scandals are discouraging, someone has to stay in this position to keep the country going and I am up for the task of righting this ship"

Just a complete cavalcade of nonsense.

I feel like all the no-name junior ministers should have resigned first with Sunak as the climax at the end. As it is they've got the order all wrong so that the chancellor resigning is being drowned out by the minister for buses etc.
