People need to keep a few things in mind: 1) Resigning as party leader isn't the same thing as resigning as Prime Minister. All Prime Ministers have stayed on as caretakers while their successor is elected. 2) Resigning as Prime Minister doesn't necessarily result in a General Election. If 'the Crown' (read: top civil servants in the government/palace who would decide what to do) believes there is a workable majority in the commons then they can ask whoever they believe can command a majority to form a government. 3) There's absolutely nothing stopping 'the Crown' sacking Boris as Prime Minister if he can't command confidence in the commons. This also doesn't trigger a GE. Since a Prime Minister has never *refused* to resign after losing the confidence of the house doing this wouldn't actually break any precedent at all. So Boris can't actually call an election. Given that the Tories have a huge majority the only way they won't be able to form a new government is if they descend into chaos, so we can hope, but it's really not up to Boris at this stage. The priority of 'the Crown' will be to do the least controversial thing they can, so they'll give the Tories every chance to form a new government before resorting to a new election.

Andrew Stephenson has been appointed Minster without Portfolio, which is an... odd role to give someone when 1) you have a billion posts to fill and 2) he's only going to be there for 2 months.

A raw, red Johnson, standing mournfully and accepting the climax those around him had edged him towards. The Johnson weeps, as the ejection is finished

Also Kier has said they might do a VONC if Johnson tries to say, which is dangerously close to a policy and therefore will not happen

To answer my own question, it's probable he'll be made Tory party co-chair as the previous chairman had the same role.

This is the pomp he wants to badly. A big parade, even though its his few remaining lackeys. If he doesn't sound like Churchill and tear up, then I will be surprised.

pumpinglemma posted:The most sensible explanation I’ve heard for the Pincher scandal being the thing that brought Boris down rather than everything else is that it’s a scandal that only hits Boris, not any of the other possible leadership contenders. People have been waiting for their chance since the original VoNC and this is a good opportunity. (I suspect there’s also some homophobia/misogyny in there - probably the tories would have cared a lot less if Pincher had been groping women.) I think it's worth remembering that since April, we've had the Ahmad Khan scandal, then in May the anonymous Tory MP accused of spiking the drinks of his fellow MPs / sexual assault involving an under-age victim over the course of 7 years (I think these were two separate anonymous MPs? It's honestly hard to keep track at this point). We know there's been a solid month of gossip - and presumably even some legitimate anger - building up inside Westminster about the known individual(s), and none of the May material has really leaked out to the wider public yet. If charges and a public announcement end up coming, and it turns out these individuals' behaviour was also known and joked about, the Pincher scandal snowballs. If Boris acts as he has over Pincher - lying, lecturing his MPs for not dealing with it themselves - it'll get worse. If even one of the Boris & Carrie rumours breaks as true to coincide with all of this (i.e. he's been drunkenly seducing his hairdresser while his wife runs off with Zac Goldsmith) then the Conservatives would have suffered a summer of stories about the party of sexual predators presided over by a PM who can't keep it in his pants.
