My sources telling me Grant Shapps has now resigned
I agree with this. Putting off another meeting until Monday seems bizarre behaviour and seriously bangs of weakness and deep fear. It gives Johnson wriggle room to pull a Houdini/kamikaze manoeuvre. If you have the knife you have to use it, especially when you’re dealing with somebody like Johnson who does not play by rules.
It’s all gone like the championship here, this battle will be won on the internet.
Snap election is the way to go here. Let the people decide.
It’s Boris only hope. The party won’t let him do it though
They don’t get a say. They’d have to depose their leader during the General Election campaign. Normal Tory leadership contests take months.
Id love to see Boris go on a bender and refuse to go home to number 10 for a few days to see the music. Just go on a bender round London for a few days. Private clubs, fancy wine bars, Streatham Common. Cans and coke and all the papps following him. BOX OFFICE!

EDIT
The situation is now officialy fluid
per source
Boris going nowhere. Another reshuffle imminent
Dorris will hold about 15 ministry’s before the night is out
JRM will hold the rest of them
Looks like he is going to pull it off, he’s forming a new cabinet tonight, what a man!
No one can lay a glove on him
Boris and Zahawi announcing a new economic plan tomorrow. Business as usual so, nothing to see here
Poor Boris is a puppet. Nothing else.
He is doing as he’s told
Boris has masters….
His masters have a serious amount of shit on those under him undoubtedly.
Zahawi now firmly back in the Boris camp, per source.
What an amazing double flip
Someone will drop another clanger over the weekend and that’ll be that
