No, pretty sure they have all resigned from their ministerial positions, but not as Conservative MPs. Just means his Ministers are jumping ship, but doesn't affect his majority.
Absolutely correct… but if he wants to put things through parliament he’s unlikely to be able get the votes now.
Pensions Minister, Guy Opperman, resigns for his ministerial position. Will anyone be left in cabinet by the end of the morning, let alone the day?
Retired and living in France now after a year of operations to rebuild my eyes as got in a bad way up the hoops
always needed a revolution to get U.K. politics in order hopefully this is such a thing I always have harped on re the difference I have seen in France here … people in office have to serve the people and sadly that has been forgotten in the U.K. system hope this comedy now stops as U.K. laughing stock now and it was obvious it would go that way under the Cons
They are cancelling committee meetings for legislation left right and centre because there aren't any ministers to attend the meetings. Doubt he'd win many votes. He still has enough Tory MPs on paper to govern, but in reality we don't have a government right now.
The junior ministers are really exposing this Cabinet as a bunch of spineless cowards. Shouldn't be surprised given Johnson purposefully drained the Tory Party of talent and stacked cabinet with some of the least talented Secretaries of State in modern history.
Time to say it Conservatives have been corrupt and useless it’s fact and history now Labour possibly as bad Brexit well that will take a bit more time I guess for the penny to drop for many but Europe is just getting stronger and before I retired the amount of corporations I had personally witnessed move away from the U.K. was in its thousands irreversible now sadly and will take 15 years or more to stabilise what a mess it has all become The U.K. people were tricked
Agree. I've watched from Paris as more and more businesses have left the UK and moved to mainland Europe. There are still those who say it is too early to tell with Brexit, but I fear that they'll be saying that for years to come as a way of hiding the disappointment of how it has panned out. All just quite sad to see.
Freeman is one of the best. A Minister who actually knows his brief really well. Opperman, who also went this morning, the same.
Nope...just straight from the BBC. Tech minister Chris Philip and courts minister James Cartlidge both gone now too.
What I find astounding is most of those public figures including politicians who championed leaving have done this, surely that’s a massive red flag.
Thanks for the replies……which leads to the next question, if the party doesn’t like it’s leader, they oust him or her and chose a new leader…… and continue to govern. Why don’t they oust him? A simple vote.
