For 18 months, Rishi Sunak was basically the only person standing in-between the PM and unmitigated spending. Also one of the (very) few to see inflation coming and prepare the public finances for it. If PM stays, Sunak as the fiscally responsible backstop will be missed
Exhibit a
: Boris just concluded meeting of 80 or so Tory MPs following Sajid and Rishi's resignation. Am told he said:
"I know you’re all avidly in favour of tax cuts and tonight’s events might make that a bit easier to deliver

Nadine Dorries has tried to submit a letter of resignation, but accidentally adopted a snow leopard

You'd think. I think he'll try to limp on but will be gone by the end of next week.Quote:

It's clear that he and his acolytes in the cabinet are not going anywhere. The only way he is going is if he's forced out by whatever legal mechanisms are in place.Quote:

It's down to the 1922 committee to change their rules and remove him which I'm in no doubt they will do.
He's clearly taken lessons from his mate Trump about clinging to power until the bitter end.
Is there any way he could force through a general election?Quote:

Gove since confirmed he's staying so 3 left on the fence

I'm not aware that Zahawi, Gove, Eustice, Coffey have confirmed whether or not they are planning to stay in cabinet after this evening's events. All other cabinet ministers bar the most junior have briefed that they are staying
How is that possible?Quote:

Either way Bozo does even more damage to the Tories. He isn't going to do the simple thing and go quickly and quietly.Quote:

Same way they paid for Covid - borrowing and increase national debt. Why should Johnson care? He won't be around to have to deal with it.Quote:

Even in the current climate, it would be dynamite for the Queen to refuse the PMs request, a constitutional crisis even.Quote:
