I still think BoJo's plan is:

1) No-Deal Brexit.
2) Resign immediately.
3) "Good luck chaps, I'm going back to my hometown"

It's also possible that the non-headbangers in the govt plan to make a big song and dance about Brexit being done hurrah and then quietly signing the EU's trade deal by Easter, but that would imply some level of competence that seems to be entirely lacking.

boris gonna call a snap, lib dem + tory coalition, boris gets ousted for the one real sin, losing, priti wins the leadership contest based on boris being too soft and tolerant, children of men timeline achieved

Funniest outcome is Sir Keith gets fined and resigns, Boris calls a snap election in response and then still gets VoNC'd by the Tories and loses.

A GE campaign where both major parties are also running leadership campaigns at the same time.

He might have enough intelligence to realise everyone sees he's a monstrous psycho and would therefore lose an election badly but can do plenty of damage as a minister still

Alternatively he's going to step back onto the backbenches for the next GE and then start making moves in the next leadership election after that.

Pretty sure that's what Sunak and The Eggman are planning on doing, too.

We thought that was what they were all doing when bojo won but I’m not sure it worked out

Boris is still in power though - even his "resignation" speech from earlier didn't actually state at any point that he was going to leave. :v:

I mean, Boris' plan is to let the impending shitstorm hit Truss full-on in the face, wait for either the government to collapse or lose a GE and then pop up with a "miss me yet?" to get leadership back.

Galloway is poo poo even at the most basic level of “does the work an MP is supposed to” because he’s more interested in getting on the telly and raising his media profile… but he’s also hardly unique in that.

What will be telling is if he manages to speedrun the “wait, this arsehole is just using us - gently caress it, voting for the other bloke” thing he’s done in his last couple of seats before the GE.
