The sacking of Michael Gove is not going down well in the Conservative party. One former Boris Johnson ally tells me: “Sacking Gove is revenge. But Boris is now detached from reality. He is now like Putin.”

"Almost like all of that was nothing more than a bid to stoke the culture war," wrote Ava Santina is response to his embarrassing answer.

Talk about a power move!

Tory rebels are plotting to change the rules to hold a second no confidence vote as early as tonight as the curtains falls on Johnson.

The right, left and centre of the party has abandoned him. It isn’t a race to the bottom. The rectum has prolapsed and a few slimy dingleberries cling on.

The SNP's Ian Blackford also piled on, saying he once compared the PM to Monty Python's Black Knight, now he's the "Dead Parrot".

He was accosted by anti-Brexit campaigner Steve Bray and defended the government before the mishap took place.

"You're vice-chairman of the Conservative Party"..... "Well, probably not after having said that."

Labour MP Wes Streeting appeared to believe a parody account pretending to be Dorries, saying it's "hard to tell parody from reality" in his defence.
