Conservatives under Boris Johnson, sowing: “This is brilliant! Yes!”
Conservatives under Boris Johnson, reaping: “We don’t care for this at all.”

Fair to say it’ll be a few years before anyone can claim that the Conservatives are the natural party for stable government with a straight face. Johnson is scorching their reputation with every minute he refuses to bow to the inevitable. He was their choice.

All these resignations are highlighting just how many people are in the government, which will leave the average voter wondering what they’ve all been doing for the last couple of years…

If Boris Johnson hasn’t resigned by 10am I will be forced to crap in his shoes. #DowningStreetSiege

Time to clarify a few things:
1. I’m not “Boris Johnson’s cat”
2. Like all Prime Ministers, he’s only a temporary resident of Downing Street
3. I live here permanently. When he finally goes, I stay
4. Yes, it’s all very embarrassing but it will be over soon

Dear rest of the world:
We’re working through a few things here in the UK at the moment. Long story, but basically a midlife crisis. Give us a day or two and we’ll have it sorted and get back to drinking our tea.
Ta for caring

The Attorney General has:
1. Called for Boris Johnson to resign
2. Said she’s running to replace him
3. Not resigned herself

Go to bed everyone. I’ll let you know when Boris Johnson finishes sulking and is ready to put his big boy pants on and admit to you all that he’s finished.

There are no levels to which this man won’t sink.

I’ve just checked the kitchen and there’s a week of supplies for a normal family. Johnson will have polished those off by breakfast, so if we block deliveries we’ll have him out by lunchtime tomorrow. #DowningStreetSiege #kitileaks

The good news is that so many members of the government have now resigned that the money saved on ministerial salaries means we can afford to cut VAT on fuel.

The cabinet have agreed who should deliver the message to Boris Johnson the he has to resign: it’s going to be Ukrainian President Zelenskyy on a Zoom call. It’s what he would have wanted. #kitileaks
