Jeff, I love your depictions of life in the UK.

Blimey! Even ever-cheerful Mary Poppins is losing her enthusiasm!

Yes, it will rain. You’re in Britain.

Boris Johnson – live: Gove calls for PM to resign amid liaison committee grilling

Embattled PM insists he will fight on despite scathing attacks from Sajid Javid and calls from other Tories to go

Michael Gove has privately told Boris Johnson it is time to quit as prime minister after suffering a slew of devastating resignations, including two senior cabinet ministers.

The levelling up secretary, who was absent as Mr Johnson faced a grilling from Tory MPs in the Commons, told the prime minister he must resign at a meeting on Wednesday morning.

36 of Johnson’s ministers and secretaries have resigned so far

Someone from England, please, explain this to me. As I understand it, Boris is in trouble because he knew (or should have known) about previous bad behavior from Pincher (What an apt name!!) before appointing him chief whip. Right so far? Then all these MPs and others are resigning because they don’t want to be associated with Boris’ government? So people who are better than Boris are leaving government service? How does that help? And won’t all these MP positions have to be refilled?

Boris has the Trump disease in not knowing when to shut up and go quietly into the night.

I know that Mr. D has little sympathy for the Brits, but…the pub’s lights are on. What are these folks doing out in the rain?

Love the little umbrella on the dog.

That’s not a crisis. It’s been ongoing for YEARS! Of course, now that Ministers are resigning in disgust (some self-directed), maybe ol’ BoJo will have to take note? Not looking likely.
