Is 'let them eat cake' still under copyright? Suitable for any bastard Tory. Gove could have something similar, with a slight change of spelling.

'let them eat cake'

Let them take a gap year

I'd have gone for - It's #Rishhour.

In other news, rumours that Johnson is going to stand down on Monday to run for the leadership to be his own replacement.
Bonkers. I hope its true.

When is Johnson gonna throw himself in the ring for a candidate to be the next PM?

I feel this would be a very Johnson thing to do.

At this stage it feels like nothing can be ruled out

Including him winning 😐

Listening to 5Live in the week, he’s still got a lot of faithful supporters in the general public including local Conservative groups so if he got to the final 2 he’d be in with a chance

According to this a leader who resigns cannot subsequently stand in a leadership election.

Yeah - i saw. Shame. It would have been funny. (or awful)

So Ben Wallace wants to be Chancellor or Foreign Secretary does he. I've been rewatching VEEP. It's just like it.

Rules?

Pfft, a talented maverick like Johnson doesn’t play by any stinking rules.

I thought Wallace wanted to be head of nato or the un or something like that.

Sometimes people stand for leader to raise their profile and hope it leads to a Cabinet job. In this case I suspect he has stepped aside for the same reason.

I think he mentioned spending more time with his family which is a sure sign of out of control ambition.

DFDS Liam Fox has another thing to answer for.
He ran against May, raised his profile as an Atlantic Bridge Euro-sceptic, inevitably failed to make the run-off*, and was rewarded with a plum Cabinet position.
Many of the no-hopers declaring a Run, hope to emulate this career, and pension enhancement.

(*Leadsom stood down so the Tory party membership did not get a chane to vote on 2016).

Grant melonfarming Shapps!
What kind of a political environment did Johnson create where Shapps thinks he has any of the qualities needed to be Prime Minister?

Slightly less of a cunt than the last cunt, pretty much anycunt can have a go now.

Zahawi's tax affairs under investigation by HMRC, according to The Independent.

As Chancellor, isn't he responsible for HMRC?

Whenever these "contenders" are mentioned in the media it should be stated that they enabled, defended and justified Johnson at every turn.

People have tried to popularize #FishyRishi in the past. Time for another go

My dad's hoping Hunt gets it
