I have absolutely no knowledge of politics other than the basics, so this might sound daft...

But Is this not a bad time for this to happen, with the Russia situation the way it is? Will Putin see this as a big weakness and a good time to 'strike'?
 
He's a first timer. ERG made a lot of trouble, many MPs would say the moment has passed, and have no problem whatsoever dumping them.
The Tories would dump anyone they thought that would lose them power. They’re dumping Boris 3 years into their biggest majority in 30 years.

It'll be interesting to see who put their names forward.
 
Hard to believe some people have only just realised what he's like.

A corrupt, incompetent, sociopathic narcissist.

No man has ever done more damage to the UK.
Right there is the most baffling aspect of this buffoon's appalling tenure. Former Johnson lickspittles have been lining up in recent days in a desperate attempt to claim the moral high ground by resigning their post having suddenly grown a backbone out of nothing other than naked self-interest. Just this morning, the most inept Attorney General in living memory, Suella Braverman, has called for Johnson to resign and declared herself as a candidate for the Tory leadership while, bizarrely, continuing in her cabinet role.
As Frances Ryan of the Guardian said:
'They didn’t resign over Covid deaths. They didn’t resign over benefit cuts. They didn’t resign over Partygate. They didn’t resign over PPE. They didn’t resign over Brexit failure. They didn’t resign over deporting refugees.
Spare us the praise for the ‘good’ Tories.'
Labour Minister of Health, Aneurin Bevan, said in 1948, the Tory party are “lower than vermin”. Absolutely nothing has changed in the intervening years.

You need to detach political allegiance from not wanting a pm that can’t even form a cabinet to remain in place for any longer than necessary, particularly given their behaviour over the last 24 hrs has shown they would spend that interim period trying to get out of it and going to god knows what lengths in order to try to achieve it.
Ahhh, right. So it’s for the good of the people I see, that’s a far more important principle.
If the price to pay is an increase in Tory popularity, it’s a price worth paying.
That is very noble of you.

It’s why being a member of NATO is so vital.
 
Not defending him, glad to see the back of him.
That said, he had a high international standing.
I note the number of times Biden sought him out during the recent meetings and he was usually put on the front row for group photos , unlike most of his predecessors
Sorry to say. Its your sort of voter that has contributed to this.

How blind you are. High international standing? Wtf!

Biden likes him! Jeez listen to yourself.
