Pretty sure I've got active bets on both Gavin Williamson and Jeremy Hunt, so hoping for either of those purely for personal enrichment reasons.

He probably could have walked off the Pincher thing if he hadn't started telling obvious and provable lies, but that would be an impossible task for BoJo so here we are.

Johnson could have walked off the Pincher thing every day of the week. It's just the straw that broke the camels back as after the umpteenth scandal the Tories are getting whomped in bye-elections now and election winning is the main thing for having Johnson in place.

Why would it take until the autumn? Cameron resigned end of June and May was in my mid July. Even if leadsom hadn't dropped out it wouldn't have taken more than a couple of weeks for the final vote to happen.

keep punching joe posted:

I don't remember any other PM hanging around after they were ousted? Thatcher, Blair, Cameron, May all hosed off pretty sharpish didn't they?

Depends on the following leadership contest mostly. The Blair situation was weird because he announced he was stepping down mid-term even though he had previously said he'd serve the full time (but not fight another election), but it was almost a year between that and him actually stepping down. Cameron resigned as leader and May was installed 3 weeks later but only because Andrea Leadsom dropped out and they didn't proceed to a Tory membership vote. It was about 2 months between May resigning and Boris coming in because that contest went all the way to the Hunt vs. Boris vote. So unless there's actually someone obvious and unopposed it's always dragged out a bit.

Tbf that's exactly the type you want to be caretaker PM since they have elder statesman vibes and there is zero chance of them grabbing power for themselves.
