Boris Johnson has finally quit the Tory leadership after an onslaught of ministerial resignations and calls for him to go from senior colleagues – even if he hopes to cling on in Downing Street until a new leader is elected. But while several possible successors have been suggested, there is no clear favourite.

4:58pm: Zelensky expresses 'sadness' over Johnson's resignation

4:51pm: Johnson's line about settling relations with EU 'greeted with laughter' in Brussels

4:25pm: Johnson from Brexit to exit

4:22pm: Tory Party has 'many ways of shutting the door on Johnson'

2:40pm: 'The mood is that he should go now'

It is about time the Tory Party stuck the knife in the Butter Goblin. Boris Johnson upheld very few of the promises he made to the people of the UK. He governed like an agent of the Labor Party.

And I guess if no one emerges to take over, he’ll have to remain on.

#1 reason was he looked like ‘The Simpson’s’ character Barney. Drunk all the time.
#2 he refused to comb his hair
#3 he locked up everyone on England over the fake scamdemic and wanted to continue it.

My guess is there will be some smoke filled room meetings this week, with a party meeting on the weekend.

There will be a new PM in two weeks, tops.

If past is prologue, the real battles will be for the Secretary positions.

He's the George W. Bush of Britain.

The same thing needs to happen to globalist politicians in this country that have put "the liberal world order" ahead of the well-being of the American people.

The UK is a husk of an island depleted of natural resources other than enough farmland to feed half its population. It no longer has the great deposits of coal, iron ore, and limestone in close proximity that enabled the industrial revolution and allowed the UK to become the sole superpower of the 19th Century.

#4 Having jowls, being rotund, and walking with a stoop doesn’t make you Churchill.

Some on TV this morning were lamenting that the U.S. does not have a parliamentary system like the U.K., where impeachment is unnecessary if you can simply get a no confidence vote against the cheif executive - surmizing Biden would lose such a vote. The problem with that is that we’d get Harris as POTUS till 2024, and Obama’s gangs in the administration would be even more in charge than they are now.

What else did he promise besides Brexit? It seems like once he accomplished that, his administration was spent.

And he let his wife take obe as PM a year and a half ago.

Strike up another failure for a crazy politician supporting war in Ukraine. Hey Brandon, your up next in November midterms. Send another $60 billion to seal the deal.
