I am starting this thread because in the last 24 hours, in fact mostly in the last about 7 or 8 hours, 36 of Boris Johnson's "government" (Parliament members holding offices) have resigned including his Chancelor. Just now, his NEW chancellor appointed YESTERDAY has also called for his resignation. It is about 6 pm UK Summer Time and BoJo is held up at Downing street with a bunch of his Party "Big Names" all telling him to quit, which he keeps saying he won't do. I waited to post because BoJo's time as Prime Minster has seemed doomed before, but he's always managed somehow to cling on. I am not sure this time it will work.
