Lord of Oop North Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 How can you have a PM that resigns but somehow still has the confidence of the House to stay on as PM. What the fuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I think he mostly has confidence in himself. All others seem to have lost it (well, barring Nadine Dorries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 He said that he agree with Graham Brady that he should stay on till a new PM is found.. except it looks like that isn't what Graham Brady said or thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hey, BJ, when you resign, you resign! You’re not retiring because your doctor just gave you some grim news, so you’re helping out the guys until they pick a replacement. You name a temp and walk out. Can you do nothing right?

Jacob Rees Mogg has confidence in him, too. He says he will never serve in anyone else's cabinet. That's a bit like my saying I will never date Anya Chalotra.

Jaxom 1974 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I read this Twitter thread in hopes of understanding all of this better... it's in English, I think, but I know I'm more confused than ever over how all of this is going down, but not why. British politics, when will there be a West Wing style show for us Yanks to watch in BBC America...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this context it seems likely to be a reference to Richard Nixon's infamous "Checkers speech" when his position as Eisenhower's running mate was threatened by allegations of impropriety.

Zorral Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Yet -- he still is not leaving! Quote Boris Johnson is to resign as Conservative leader but will push to stay on as prime minister until the autumn, prompting a backlash from some Tory MPs who say he has to go now. Come the autumn such irrelevancies as walk out and resignation shall have faded out of memory, and still there I be in numero 10 just as I've always been and always shall be.

Raja Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Just wanted to echo what Mormont said in the previous thread regarding people commenting on UK politics that do not live here; it doesn't lessen their contributions to the thread or their criticism.
