From Sky News.
Johnson appears before the liaison committee.

The Liaison Committee has started
Boris Johnson is being quizzed by the committee, which is made up of the chairs of Commons committees.
One of the main topics is "integrity in politics".
But chair of the Liaison Committee Sir Bernard Jenkin has said they will address integrity in politics at the end of the session.
He warns if the PM has long answers they will simply detain him longer.

He’s in for a torrid afternoon.
Meanwhile, Gove wants him gone.

It’s actually funny now watching him putting himself through such self-flagellation and public ridicule.
He must be an Uber-masochist who would make even King Canute blush.

Johnson is not as bad as Trump... he's not a fascist or I don't think so anyway... He is an entitled child of privilege who believes he has every right to power and every right to abuse it in order to indulge his appetites... Lazy, directionless, probably drunk/drugged, incompetent, deceitful... this is the person that tories gleefully foisted on the rest of...

//Zahawi TellsJohnson to feck off less than 24 hours after being appointed.
You can’t make it up :-)//

What a nasty, back-stabbing, 5C lefty poltroon Zahawi is!
Not a dry eye in the house! PMSL
it does mean Zahawi's questionable past is being brought up again

Also questions about him and Jeffrey Archer

not to mention the new chancellor's stable heating bill -

clearly a great person to be safeguarding the public purse.....
don't you want a stable government, mushroom?
"Trade envoy David Duguid resigns"
Who he?
Only the Fisheries Envoy and Trade Envoy for Angola and Zambia.

Must be the last straw.
....like the condition of a man with 6 plastic horses up his bottom?

All joking aside I’m amazed that Johnson is dragging this out into such a circus.
One can almost imagine the cabinet inside Number 10, each taking it in turn to try and point out his position, like inept parents cajoling with a petulant child who won’t leave their room to go to school, the toddler instead jumping up and down on the bed, fingers in ears, eyes closed singing ‘La la la la lah, I can’t hear you!’ at the top of their voice.
What a pathetic spectacle he’s making of himself and the office of Prime Minister.
allegedly there's another bunch of MPs at No 10 pleading with him to stay.
Will there be a bottle of whiskey and an old pistol left for him on the table in his den?

I doubt it sandyRoe, he’d probably claim that nobody told him it was there.
No Sandy, they'll be wrapped in expensive wallpaper and placed in a ditch.
Oh
Priti’s told him to go

Shows how much I know
There’s just this one per cent of me can see BJ emerging from No 10, approaching the microphone and announcing:

“It’s been a terrific week. I carry on.
Who needs a cabinet”
He seems to be running on his inner Trump.
he's refusing to go

ITV: Exc: told PM absolutely defiant and is not going to resign. Sources tell me he told Cabinet colleagues that it was a choice between summer focused on economic growth or chaos of a leadership contest- followed by massive pressure for general election
Arguing that a lost election will mean a coalition that will lead to break up of Britain (sounds familiar from 2015!) and those around him think they will lose a couple more from Cabinet but not all
They claim Sir Graham position was that he won’t be drummed out tonight and that rule change won’t come til Monday. And said he put his “14 million mandate on table”.

Then he needs to let his inner Trump out ...
It makes no sense.
There’s no way he can carry on whether he goes now or next week after the inevitable no confidence vote
He's deluded
the 1922 committee are apparently in no rush to change the rules to allow another vote. This may yet change.
The thinking is that events before Monday will mean he has resigned or has no functioning Cabinet.
