Oh dear, this is hilarious Johnson hints he won't back any of the contenders - because it might damage them

Tory MP for Harrow East Bob Blackman, who is joint-executive secretary of the 1922 Committee, has said the threshold for support to enter the first round of the Conservative Party leadership race is likely to be 20. He told Sky News: "The view is that candidates to get on the ballot paper should demonstrate a broad swathe of support amongst Conservative MPs. "So we're looking at a proposer, a seconder and either 18 supporters or possibly more supporters in order to reduce that list. He then says the "first ballot is likely to have a threshold of 10% of the votes, i.e. 36 MPs, supporting a candidate for them to go through to the second ballot. That once again is not confirmed yet, but I suspect that will be the case. "After that we probably won't need thresholds because the list will shorten considerably." Blackman told Sky News: "The one thing that we're committed to do is to achieve getting to two candidates by Thursday 21 July.

So they have to whittle them down to 2, then have a postal ballot. I hope the "post people" go on strike. That'll teach the cunts.

11 candidates now

Cabinet meeting at 3pm Mr Johnson will host a meeting of his new cabinet this afternoon, following a number of resignations and appointments.

BBC News The PM's speech was brief. But his departure from office won't necessarily be swift. He wanted history to know his resignation was the fault of colleagues and not himself. The "herd", as he called it, had moved quickly, despite winning the biggest majority at the 2019 general election since 1987 and attracting new voters to his party.

This from Sky News Here it is - Boris Johnson is appointing a new government. It kicks off with Policing Minister Kit Malthouse being made chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the most senior minister in the Cabinet Office after the Prime Minister. Next up is Greg Clark - an ardent remainer - who will take over from Michael Gove as levelling up secretary. Meanwhile, James Cleverly is going to be education secretary - the third in three days.

Boris's statement around 12ish

Boris isn't leaving number10 until he's had his dinner

Thats just a "Chain Reaction" 😁

Shirley if he's going it'll have to be today. If they keep him on whose going to listen to anything he says

Here are your runners & riders for Boris' s job according to Sky News Penny Mordaunt 9/2 Rishi Sunak 9/2 Ben Wallace 6/1 Liz Truss 8/1 Sajid Javid 8/1 Nadhim Zahawi 9/1 Jeremy Hunt 10/1 Tom Tugendhat 12/1 Michael Gove 16/1 Steve Baker 18/1

I thought if he resigned it would be with immediate effect. Talk about stringing it out

What happens now, do all those who've resigned coming flocking back ?

This seems very apt at the minute
