It's gonna end in a siege with Boris and Dorries hiding behind a filing cabinet in No 10, while Rees Mogg runs out into the fray with a tie round his head and wielding an umbrella.

No champagne for Sarah tonight..
It's been chilling since June 6th; a little longer isn't a disaster. :)

The BBC incorrectly reported Brandon Lewis to have gone and have since removed that news.

BREAKING: Michael Gove has been sacked!

He becomes the first minister to have been sacked by 3 different Prime Ministers.

From the BBC website
Suella Braverman calls for PM to go and says she would stand for leadership
The government's Attorney General Suella Braverman says it's "time to go" for Boris Johnson.
But despite calling on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign, she tells ITV's Robert Peston she will continue in her role.

Braverman adds "I don’t want to resign because I have that duty and we need an attorney in government”.

"The balance has tipped now in favour of saying that the prime minister - it pains me to say it - but it's time to go."

Asked whether she's considered standing in any leadership contest, she says she would put her name into the ring.
I would not put any bets on this one. Its an almost certain lose.

There are multiple sources saying that No. 10 is now preparing a letter of resignation for Johnson.

He'll still need persuading to sign it, but... stand by... :thumbup:

BBC confirming that he's going today! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Boris Johnson is to stand down as Conservative Party leader after losing the support of his ministers and MPs.

A Conservative leadership contest will take place this summer and a new prime minister will be in place in time for the party conference in October.

In the meantime, Mr Johnson will continue as prime minister.
