How can he 'resign;, yet expect to be kept on for another two months or so?
What is the deputy PM for? Or do we not have one? -in which case they need to elect a caretaker.
Answer to my own question: It was everybody else's fault!
'He said he had tried to persuade colleagues it would be "eccentric" to change leader and blamed the "herd instinct" in Westminster for his exit.'

âĶand yes, there is a deputy âĶitâs Dominic RaabâĶ.so why he canât just step into the breach is beyond me âĶ.he had to when the PM was in hospital .
Raab is worse than Johnson

Flying visit. I'm an alien with other work to do
