You both backed the wrong horse your reputation in ruins now.

Honestly, the Country can’t stomach ether if these muppets. They don’t represent the majority in any way shape or form so rather than these extremes, can we please have regular everyday Conservatives?

Doesn't suprise me ! One eccentric t**t supporting another!🤨

Not sure I’d want Boris to be Tory leader but he was a damned fine Henley MP.

Political suicide for his party.

And there you have it, as I’ve said all along, this pair of posh boys don’t give a damn either about democracy, the people they are supposed to represent or the nation in general. They only care about themselves & their own & will do whatever it takes to get to positions of power

Nooooooooooopo

That's all we need coco the clown in charge, but not to worry he'll probably walk away when things don't go his way, another privileged arsewipe with no backbone.

What's the point being in government if you can't call the shots ?

Ironic that British policy during their colonial past was to bully nations and people’s into submission and now they are doing the same thing to the British people in an open coup, live on TV, at the behest of a few in the Tory party, the mother of democracy is now a joke

All MPs have failed the electorate as today we should be celebrating leaving the EU with No Deal. Surprise the sky has not collapsed, the economy has not imploded and the birds are singing. Brexit now - No Deal

ton_blind Losing faith in jrm

Back stabbed

Haven’t we got enough problems at the moment?

Ouch! You wonder now if Corbyn would have been better!😀

Brexiters should just look at these two guys (Rees and BoJo) they were never interested in the welfare of UK citizens. All they wanted was Tory leadership position. TheSun BBCNews piersmorgan SkyNews AP cnni

He’ll be changing his mind shortly...

Why ? Why not back himself?

The thought of Boris Johnson as UK PM is nothing short of mind bogglingly staggering, in the most negative way possible.

Bring him in, kick the eu in the balls, get rid of him, simples

Oh cripes, what jolly japes we'll have. Well bred spivs and frauds is all they are. And you lot boosted them.

No shit.

God help us 🤦‍♂️

If May is backed then they can **** off.

What a surprise just what country needs to people completely devoid of any sense of reality

He's backing a busted flush there.

As they say in Ulster you couldn’t like them if you reared them, not interested in country but instead in their own selfish ends and they took the Dup for a ride and them dumped them but slap it up them

The English trump.

How utterly wrong on every conceivable level. Do they really think anyone with half a brain would vote for them?

Couple of fannies !

No way will he be PM

Who gives a crap 🙄🙄😣 Not 99.9999999% of the British population

A bad deal is like a bad meal, it cannot be made more palatable by changing who serves it. Theresa May resigning changes nothing

FFS. Neither of them are exactly good advertisements for the benefits of an Eton education. Perhaps they spent time together ‘spaffing’ up the Eton walls or enjoying some of the other ‘character-forming’ activities enjoyed by the pupils at such establishments

Excellent news

Is ERG voting for May WA really about what is good for UK, or just what is good for Boris?

God forbid, do really believe the country would support this pathological liar being PM, he has to answer questions as to why he colluded to break the law in 2016 & why he is one the greatest spreaders of fake news, this country ever had, oh & let's not forget the garden bridge!!

Mogg is starting to fade from his ascendancy. He was respected for his solid brexit stance, but now I fear he has spent all his popularity on cheap short term gains.

The most sinister of duos since Dick Dastardly and Mutley

It is essential that a Brexiteer, like Boris, is in the final two candidates from whom Conservative party members can choose as their next leader. Brexit needs a Brexit believer, not another damage-limitation Remainer.

i think the Tories are in trouble come the next general election if the the 17.4 million people that voted out are shafted as for Labour Jeremy corbyn and Diane Abbott says it all im voting UKIP come the next general election

FFS. Jeeves & Wooster. Have we not embarrassed ourselves enough as a nation already?! Total clowns.

The Conservative Party is a Remainer party.

Johnson is the wrong man. He may have been the right man before Gove stuck the knife in, but now - in 2019 - it needs to be someone else.

Boris would be awful. Raab, Davis or himself would be SO much better. Boris is too toxic. I like him as a bloke but he would be hamstrung from the start by his previous antics. Maybe he has hidden talents but they aren’t apparent yet.

The gruesome twosome

The British are distraught, the Govt have left them high and dry ..

JRM and Trump. With friends like these!

They'll end up betraying one another. It's the Tory way.

Switch the lights off.

This is great news. Every single person rees-mogg has backed .. has failed. Johnson cannot be allowed to attain power. We see how charlatans behave on the other side of the pond. It's far from ideal.

TelePolitics step forward Mr Churchill

Spinelss hints will back Chancer.

BoJo is a catastrophe and JRM is a let down, Both are out of the window

Seriously, who cares ? One idiot or another, it’ll all the same. They (the politicians) have had 2 years to achieve something but the only thing they see is their own ambition. I’m so disillusioned with politicians right now.

Say no more

Can sleep easier at night now. When are they going to sort this mess out.

Ahahaha. My God Tories, are you really going to finish yourself off like this!?

I am shocked. He's been hosting tea-parties for him

Is this a surprise?

Just as he backed a no deal brexit. Wudnt trust the back stabbing fickle shit.

I'll bet he will 'et tu Brute..'

It takes a snake in the grass to know one

End of the road for Theresa May's Brexit – cartoonStymied by Jacob Rees-Mogg and the ERG, the prime minister lurches towards oblivion No Deal - Hard Border end of the road.
