Can you believe he had the chutzpah to meet with Rishi & Penny to demand they stood down & would give them a junior role?

Boris Johnson has bowed out of the leadership race to spend more time with his holidays.

Next Tory steps 5) Reasonable to believe that by this time tomorrow Rishi Sunak will be Conservative leader and Prime Minister.

Next Tory steps 4) That Rishi Sunak total is some 32 votes short of half the Conservative Parliamentary Party. In short, his position relative to Penny Mordaunt's is so strong that there will be immense pressure on her now to concede.

Can you file 600 words with a new top asap we’re right up against it now thanks

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m laughing so hard I need a brown paper bag.

Next Tory steps 1) Rishi Sunak has 147 supporters on ConservativeHome's tally, Penny Mordaunt has 25.

Heads up: WhatsApp is going to break if tomorrow a billion Indians get Diwali AND a UK PM. 🪔 🇬🇧

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak? Our first PM of Asian background, this is a big moment.

Is it possible that when Boris rang him up and asked him to completely and utterly humiliate himself for no reason, he thought he was calling Nadine not Nadhim?

Mordaunt is currently on just 28 nominations which doesn't give her long to get to 100 by 2pm tomorrow.

A Suank coronation feels increasingly inevitable.

It’s like the feel good factor of the London Olympics all over again

Ayesha Hazarika He did unite the country though, in laughter

His ability to bring out the worst in the worst people... Zahawi, Cleverly, Duddridge. The list, happily, is not endless. But it's long enough.

We did discuss this very thing happening with my Times Radio political panel on Saturday evening (2hours in) with anne mcelvoy steve richards & Kirsty Buchanan. Marching everyone up to the top of the hill for the drama, then flaking out at the last minute. And here we are.

First British Hindu PM in history, on the eve of Diwali too! 💥

(Superstitious Indians will have a field day!)

I did actually have like 69 SQUILLION supporters but just couldn’t be bothered. I’ve got a lot on right now. Like a lot.
