Liz Truss says she fully supports the Prime Minister which is I suppose what a truss is for. Should be the end of her as well hopefully.

Will be hilarious to see Dominic Raaaaab try and weasel his way out of this one 
Patel already vowing her undying support....
Look up her CV if you get a chance. No chance I'd have given her a job other than as useful idiot and cannon fodder.

It's got to be Little Lord Moggington for chancellor.
He seems to have an uncanny knack of knowing exactly where and when to move his money around.
Okay. It’s looking more hopeful. The fat lady isn’t warming up yet though.

Not coordinated according to Peston and neither knew the other was resigning.
Imagine looking around and seeing Truss, Dorries and Patel as your most vocal supporters.

That footage this morning of the Cabinet meeting was truly remarkable. The body language was clearly indicative that the Cabinet collectively knew something big was afoot. In football parlance he has "lost the dressing room".
The two letters of resignation are quite different. Javid appears to be writing more for social media than for Boris, bigging up his own achievements, thanking his family etc. It is almost an acceptance speech for the nomination of Prime Minsiter, rather than a letter of resignation.
As for Rishi, his letter has a different tone. He touches upon fundamental disagreements between Boris and himself and it feels more personal with more edge.
I doubt whether this will be the end of the resignations. Who is next? All eyes on Liz Truss, the frontrunner female candidate to be Boris's successor. If she goes then I think Boris will resign.
She won't want to be resigning now, as Sweden and Finland move towards NATO membership and the Foreign Secretary always gets more airtime during a war but now Rishi and Javid have shown their hand to be seen to be supportive to a lame duck PM will not play out well for her with the public.

I am working on the basis that it’s too good to be true. I won’t believe anything until I see the equivalent of the “holding up the shirt” photograph.
I still don’t think Johnson will go. Nobody can force him and he won’t go or his own accord.

Truss has already “fully backed” him!

They'll already be horse-trading for the leadership in a Blair-Brown stylee

Of course he wont. The man is an arrogant narcissist who believes it’s his right to govern and he’s above such things as being held to account for being a massive liar.
