Apparently the PM's crest is on the lectern which is unusual for a resignation speech.

hmmm, this indicates that it might not be just a resignation speech.

Then again maybe this is a myth about the lectern .

OK so she stays on until Bojo is appointed. As she pointed out the new PM will have to get a majority in Parliament.

So it now looks like the U.K. is to have a new PM who has not been elected by the public to push a hard Brexit never envisaged by the referendum supporter by a minority government made up of a party that’s been decimated at the polls

It's difficult to see the government surviving without a GE.

[BlasterBates]

OK apparently Bojo's campaign management team is planning for a GE.

Looks like Brenda from Bristol failed to thwart it.

I'm presuming that Nigel Farage will put his Brexit party back in the box for a GE, some stragglers though will switch back to UKIP, and that means the opposition support will be split, but the Tories will pickup that 35% from the Brexit party and lose a few percent of the Brino voters who are currently supportíng the Tories.

This could get interesting. Scary, but interesting.

He might have a taste for it by then if the bookies are to be believed

When was the last time the starting favourite won a Tory leadership election?

Anyway, you can get 15/8 on Johnson as next PM.
