Pretty much as soon as they decide whether he needs to take the blame for the entirety of Brexit, or whether parts of it are still salvageable, allowing them to grab some plaudits for themselves once they've "taken them away" from Johnson.nilsatisnisioptimum wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 6:36 pm ...I wonder when the Tory old guard will put him out of our misery
So, January 2nd then.
There are three main problems once he's gone, let's call them, for the sake of argument, Gove, Sunak, and Hunt. Patel had figured in my nightmares, but she's been pretty successfully torpedoed. If and when a new leadership contest is announced expect a slew of anti-Patel "leaks," should she have the temerity to throw her hat into the ring.
Johnson, I would suggest, will just be happy to get out of Downing Street and into the House of Lords, which is almost a certainty and another tick on his bucket list. I'd further suggest that he's never actually wanted the jobs he's had, merely the job-titles. He's a lazy fucker, always has been if multiple reports are true, but what a resumé he's got, as long as you don't look too far beyond the surface.
I wonder if they'll announce a further, and final, "scandal," or whether he'll be allowed to resign.
