Boris will only go in a strait jacket

Boris Johnson didn't get where he is today by resigning when the vast majority of his Cabinet order him to go. He will stay in the job until he is literally dragged out of Number 10. I predict that as his Cabinet colleagues queue up to try and persuade him to give up he will sack the lot and start again. That's the way he is. He believes that he still has the sizeable mandate from the people he won in the last election and has a duty to stay in office to finish the job. It's as simple as that. So he won't care that colleagues such as Priti Patel (Home Secretary)and Michael Gove (Secretary of Levelling up for heaven's sake) and Grant Shapps (Secretary of cars, boats trains and planes) are telling him to go, he can and probably is waving them out of the room with warnings that their careers are over. This is Boris's Trump moment. This is the way things are now in the UK and to a certain extent everywhere else in the world. Trump refused to go. Putin wangled Russian law to allow him to stay president for as long as he wants, Xi Zinping won't let anyone replace him. I'm just amazed Silvio Berlusconi isn't back as Italian prime minister. So, Boris will fight fight fight to stay at Number 10. There is a long way to go before this drama comes to an end, with or without Boris still in charge.
