The last of the Ottomans

This has been brewing the last 2 days, since he was exposed for lying - again - this time over pretending not to know about a renowned gay sex pest's groping history when appointing him to a sensitive job as a deputy whip in charge of pastoral care of new MPs. His name is Chris Pincher. You couldn't make this up.

Apparently Johnson will want to stay on until a new leader is elected but the word is his colleagues will not accept that - he is being ousted because nobody trust him at all, not for another day, and certainly not for 2 months.

Dominic Raab is Deputy Prime Minister and is the obvious choice of caretaker PM, but that will rule him out from running for the leadership, so he may decline.

If the Tories have any sense they should go on bended knee and ask Theresa May do step up for a couple of months while the leadership election runs it's course. She knows the job, is trusted and well known by all the top officials and is not in the running for the job.

You know it's bad when you see people online openly wishing for the Maybot to be recomissioned
