WTF the ******** is he doing?? @American Brummie - did your surprise meter just go up a level on the Gove sacking? Mine sure of heck did. It's some weird British riposte to the US Jan 6 trainwreck.
It's heading in to constitutional crisis land for sure. It may take a vote in the house to get rid of him if he refuses to go
That's a definite possibility atm... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...parliament-could-bring-down-johnson-quicktake 3. How could Parliament remove him? The leader of the main opposition party, Labour’s Keir Starmer, could call a confidence vote in the House of Commons at any point and the convention is that one would then be held. It needs a simple majority to pass. If the government loses, it has 14 days to try to win another vote, most likely by selecting a different Tory leader. If the government cannot command the confidence of the Commons after two weeks, a general election is triggered. That’s an outcome Conservative MPs are likely to want to avoid as their party has been trailing Labour in the polls
The vote in the house route is an effective illustration of the reality of how our parliamentary system works. As people have been saying for some time, (although it's often forgotten), we don't have a presidential system. The prime minister has the same number of votes as they all have... ONE!

Braverman just called for Boris to step down. And, she refuses to resign because the government must have an attorney still around.
Braverman has her 'own take' on things as one might say. One not hidebound but such minor details as facts and reality.
Twitter's great as long as you only look at the first tweet. Once you get into the replies it's a cess pit.

I had to go back and look for that post. I repped it along with others and as it was a great post I'm sure you'll get what's coming to you!
