He already lied to her. Him and Rees Mogg basically made her out as a fool they couldn't care less, it was hilarious watching them during the the Jubilee making out to be some kind of monarchist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing with British politics, it's nearly all based on convention and the assumption that everybody more or less plays by the rules. Not sure if it has ever really been tested, though. I don't think there is a single law anywhere that says what happens if a Prime Minister refuses to go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Just now, The Master said: If he’s sacked as PM he can’t say “naw”. Ultimately it would end with the police and MI5 dragging him out of Downing Street. Plan A in my book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cummings also said that a few hours ago, you’d have to presume Classic Dom’s trying to goad him into doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Has the demented haystack left the building yet? I do love to see Tories in turmoil. Bawbag Boris must stay, all about the lolz now. How anyone can vote for this scum is beyond me. Its a vipers nest of dysfunctional fuckwits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a single law anywhere that says what happens if a Prime Minister refuses to go. 1) A vote of no confidence is called in Parliament. 2) The 'government' loses that vote. 3) New Parliamentary elections are triggered unless a new government with the clear confidence of Parliament can be formed. He's not a President; he's not the commander in chief of the armed forces; he has no means legal or otherwise to cling onto power.

Ludo*1 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 If it was a choice between Gove and Boris, I'd side with Boris every day of the week. Don't think there's anyone near as slimey and slippery as those two, but Gove is the absolute worst c**t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to the Beeb (I was watching the BBC news channel at the time), they said at the time there was some conflicting reports, and it wasn't clear whether or not he had resigned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
