His departure stunned Rishi Sunak and there was dismay in No 10 at the prospect of a fresh round of Tory bloodletting.
Mr Johnson's decision to go comes three and a half years after he won a landslide election victory, and will raise fresh doubts about whether the Conservatives can hang on to power at next year's election.
Après moi, le déluge, indeed...
Mr Johnson's decision to go came just hours after his close ally Nadine Dorries quit when she was blocked from receiving a peerage in his resignation honours.
Their departures mean the PM faces a difficult double by-election. And Tory whips were last night on red alert for the possibility of more resignations among Mr Johnson's supporters.
It could be a deluge to rival the Kakhovka Dam, at that!

no. Even the Tino's aren't that wet.
Bojo tried by the PIE loving harridan that is Harman, left him with no choice, if he was to save his reputation. It will be interesting to see if he stands for the seat he has just resigned from, just to p*ss off those who have tried to destroy him. It's either that, or GB News, possibly starting with an expose of paedophile politicians. Be afraid, Harriet. Be very afraid.

They have won, the BBC-Sky News-C4-the Civil Service...they all were out to get Boris for being popular with the Plebs and supporting Brexit.
Helped by backstabbing Tory Remainers they have shot themselves in the foot and now we will be stuck with Labour for at least five years wrecking the economy and letting the dross of the world in unchecked.

"and letting the dross of the world in unchecked."
Whereas it's all been nicely controlled under the current government?
Good grief, Jaded, I sincerely hope you're wrong. The thought of that other woman, the one that left school with more children than GCSEs, then having a boob job on expenses, telling the rest of us how to live our lives. What was it, again, that Pte Frazer used to say in 'Dad's Army'?

Are we sure?
"It's either that, or GB News..."
Turns out it's 'Daily Mail columnist'! 🙄
"They have won, the BBC-Sky News-C4-the Civil Service...they all were out to get Boris..."
Yes, they have, haven't they? He did play into their hands, though.
"Whereas it's all been nicely controlled under the current government?"
Good point!
"What was it, again, that Pte Frazer used to say in 'Dad's Army'?"
He wasn't wrong... 😑
