First Mad Nad, then Bozo Spaffwaffle himself. Two byelections in the pipeline. One shouldn't gloat about the misfortunes of others but it is hard not to right now where the Tories are concerned.
Neither Nad nor Bozo will personally fare badly out of it all which is why I have no qualms about gloating over their departure. Bozo will make far more money outside parliament than in it and even Mad Nad will probably end up with a lucrative column in the Sun or something.

From the BBC
In his statement issued after stepping down on Friday evening, the former prime minister said: "I did not lie, and I believe that in their hearts the committee know it."
"They know perfectly well that when I spoke in the Commons I was saying what I believed sincerely to be true and what I had been briefed to say, like any other minister," he said.
Mr Johnson said he corrected the record as soon as possible, and said committee members "know that".
He condemned the committee as a "kangaroo court", and claimed that its "purpose from from the beginning has been to find me guilty, regardless of the facts".
His statement said: "It is very sad to be leaving Parliament - at least for now - but above all I am bewildered and appalled that I can be forced out, anti-democratically, by a committee chaired and managed, by [Labour MP] Harriet Harman, with such egregious bias."
His resignation will trigger a by-election in his constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
Mr Johnson was prime minister from July 2019 until September 2022, and has been an MP since 2001.

There is a funny side, while one lot are abandoning ship the other lot think it is playing into their hands, we will get them all in the end.

Bloody good riddance - a British Prime Minister who achieved nothing, gave the British people nothing, and has nothing to show for his premiership.
A liar, a cheat, a rule breaker and a man who propelled a divisive Britain
But on the positive side - he has helped to hasten the day when this country will rid itself of this government, and a by-election in Boris Johnsons constituency will result in a Tory defeat.

He'll be sadly missed, Red. The country will never see integrity and dedication to duty like that again. A nation weeps! |
