That’s normal practice, isn’t it?

Getting the mandate of the people fulfilled is far more important.

I would write to my MP, but he’s Chris Pincher and I don’t want him knowing where I live.

Sky News just presumably interviewed OB and Mrs OB outside a pub in England.

HS2 is not ridiculous.Updating the transport infrastructure of our country is important. Our existing roads and railways are antiquated compared with other prosperous countries in the world. We can’t expect to compete in the modern world by continuing to look ‘quaint’.
I look at what he has achieved and what he was aspiring to achieve. The tittle-tattle that has preoccupied people on this forum was unimportant in the scheme of things.

That "tittle-tattle" got him fired, so probably not that unimportant in the scheme of things.

Others in the Party can do that without the need to appoint a known molester to a position of power, lying continually and risking national security.

He’s talking about hanging on until Autumn - that’s not "normal practice"…
Theresa May’s resignation speech was on the 24th May, with effect on the 7th June (two weeks).
https://www.gov.uk/government/speech...et-24-may-2019
David Cameron announced his resignation on 24th June and Theresa May became Leader on 11th July, and she became PM 13th July (under three weeks)…

Yeah, but I think he’s burnt his bridges, I was never a fan of him. He cannot function like he has, fumbling important decisions with lies after lies.
As to who should be the next PM, I’d be happy with Ben Wallace. His defiance against Russia has impressed me.

I agree. It seems quite logical to me, much as I dislike that liar.

A No 10 source on Thursday said Mr Johnson spoke to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the Conservative 1922 Committee, to inform him of his decision to resign.
“The prime minister has spoken to Graham Brady and agreed to stand down in time for a new leader to be in place by the conference in October,” the source said.

The PM announced his decision in a brief statement delivered outside Downing Street at lunchtime in which he stressed his "immensely proud of the achievements of this Government", from getting Brexit done to getting the UK through the pandemic, and leading the West in standing up to Putin's aggression in Ukraine. He further indicated his determination to remain in his job until the result of the forthcoming Conservative Party leadership election in October.

He’s hanging on in the hope perhaps the horse will learn to sing…

Boris was/is particularly despised in Scotland.
The next leader needs to be able to break through into Scotland and expose the SNP for the terrible job they’re doing.
