Salt n Vinegar

That'll throw NI into constitutional chaos! Oh, no, wIt a minute...

BBC suggesting that BoJo is said to be telling rebels that he won't quit and if challenged he'll have a reshuffle and fight his corner on the basis of the people v the parliament.

Maybe he's going to offer to exchange some lives for fish?

Patel said to be telling BoJo that he can't continue, BBC reporting statement by The Times.

New definition of "a safe pair of hands" found.

There's a bit of a smell around this thread. Too much air freshener? If it was sentient, air freshener might think it's overpowering, but really it just stinks a bit.

Nadine Dorries for the banter.

Sorry for quoting myself, but I've found it reported in the National - "The polling model also indicated that the SNP could be on for a landslide 55 Scottish seats, one short of their historic 2015 result which saw them win 56 of Scotland’s 59 Westminster constituencies. The figures were calculated by pollster Mark McGeoghegan using Britain Elects’ model “Britain Predicts”. After inputting the average of all polls in Scotland since May, McGeoghegan found that the SNP were predicted to win 55 Scottish seats, Labour two, the LibDems two, and the Tories none." Double malts all round...

Priceless moment there as Shapps walked into No 10. Among the shouted questions, someone shouted "how many children does he have?"

If you're still in any doubt, remember that he made Nadine Dorries a Secretary of State.

My younger lad has just told me that there is a new poll showing a total wipeout of Scotland's Tory MPs. I'm watching the committee - anyone seen the source of the poll?

Liaison Committee has started with BoJo in the hot seat.

I've seen a suggestion that the new Chancer of the Exchequer will spray public money around to try to save Boris' skin. Possibly a short term reaction to that?

Anyone found a sense of perspective? TK seems to have lost one.

I have no authority to do this but the competition has now closed and this is post of the day. (Your prize is that you are now Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.)

He's just slagged off Brexit, so the gammonati will now rally round BoJo.

Time to question Henry McLeish's judgement?

Wanting BoJo to stay, but enjoying the chaos in the Government has left me with a very difficult decision... so yes, I'm having a cheeky malt, but just a small one.

Having given it a great deal of thought, BoJo must stay. I must see the Scottish Tories campaign for another term of a BoJo led Tory Government and clowns like Dross and Alister Jack being shredded by grannies in the street. Can you imagine the TV debates?

Gove is unusually quiet. Be afraid, be very afraid.

New Director of Communications favoured candidate.

Jacob Rees-Mogg now appears to be the Boris lightning rod. Sky News being lectured on the history of British Politics - McMillan, Salisbury, Churchill... constitutional conventions... minor mistakes, rumours etc. Terrific stuff.

I hope that all the braying assholes who phoned 5live this morning phone in again tomorrow and say why Sunak and Javid are wrong. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?

You could clear the national debt by selling tickets for PMQs tomorrow.

He can hardly hear him self think for the grinding of axes.
