After @BorisJohnson's resignation there were smiles all around. @BethRigby even eulogised him. His concession to "Political Gravity" was welcomed - but its not clear that everyone understands the full implications of that gravity.

@BorisJohnson @BethRigby For starters @BorisJohnson was far from contrite, no apology, no mention of why he was booted. Instead he criticised his caucus, accusing them of succumbing to "herd" instinct.
@BorisJohnson @BethRigby We are now being told by worthies that there is no provision in the @Conservatives Constitution for caretakers - even though this idea seemed to be top of mind hours earlier.

BBC: Midday News. 30 minutes to go till @BorisJohnson “resigns” officially, but Boris is often late, so who knows.

Just before the credits rolled we learned that Buckingham Palace hasn’t said whether the Queen has heard from the PM.
Importantly - @ChrisMason just reminded me, he’s just resigning as Tory Party Leader, not as PM.
I expect I forgot this because it’s bonkers.

Breaking @BethRigby: @BorisJohnson is making appointments to his Cabinet
First up apparently a replacement for "the snake" @MichaelGove, for whom a name has been given - @GregClarkMP a remainer.

@BethRigby @BorisJohnson @michaelgove @GregClarkMP Again. If this farce continues. If the @Conservatives Caucus is unable to achieve any coherence. Then this Govt. will fall.
"He needs to go. He can't cling on. It's obvious he is unfit to be Prime Minister.... I do not think anything will unite the Tory Party they are tearing themselves apart. If they do not remove him we will bring a vote of confidence....."
