On the plus side, good excuse for a leaving party… twitter.com/JGForsyth/stat…

“I quit; everyone else is resigning and I don’t want to get stuck here with just Boris Johnson”

Just when Boris Johnson thought today couldn’t get worse, a wheel’s just fallen off the booze suitcase…

HANG ON - I live here, Johnson is just a temporary resident. I withdraw my resignation and will start interviewing for a new tenant…

Four advisers leaving Downing Street together; this is going to be an EPIC leaving party. Might need a second suitcase.

I’d like to tell you a story. It’s about a farm. An old fashioned farm that sold expensive milk, cheese and eggs. The people who owned the farm didn’t like change.

My pals @Trump_ton have shared this video of government minister Michael Gove explaining in 2016 that leaving the EU will allow the UK to remove VAT from domestic fuel.
They’ve decided not to.

As an added bonus the likes of Kwarteng are happy to look absurd to service a Prime Minister on borrowed time, by making risible claims like “people don’t think fraud is a crime”
This obviously isn’t sustainable but it is hugely damaging.

Always nice when they roll out the red carpet for me

Did Boris Johnson follow the rules he put in place and act appropriately as the Prime Minister? No
But has he learned his lesson and will he now behave professionally and work harder than ever on the things that actually matter? Also no.

Words have consequences; it’s time for Boris Johnson to face them. twitter.com/PoliticsJOE_UK…

Once more, for the thick Tory ministers at the back:

Watching Johnson moving deckchairs on the titanic… sorry, reshuffling his cabinet. twitter.com/justin_ng/stat…

Do any of my followers who are in the real world agree with the “Lord President of the Council”? (yes, that’s his job title) twitter.com/PippaCrerar/st…

Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. 15 year old tabby. Living with my fifth Prime Minister. Unofficial. A subpar odyssey.
