The key point is not that Boris Johnson received a penalty notice. The key point is that the fine proves he has repeatedly lied to parliament about his actions during COVID. Democracy requires - for voting for accountability - leaders who tell the truth. He must go.

The British people vote for local MPs, not a President. MPs have the power + responsibility to remove their leaders. 4 out of the 5 last Conservative Prime-Ministers were replaced within parliamentary terms. We're long past the point when Boris Johnson should have been the 6th.

Trying to remove an elected PM with a huge personal mandate, mid term, is anti democratic. Those who seek to do so are subverting democracy. If you respect democracy, Mr Major, Mrs May, Mr Heseltine et al, do it through the ballot box, not by abusing your power and influence.

All previous British Prime-Ministers in Boris Johnson’s position would have resigned. He must resign. Our constitution requires it.

well done @willquince - we are now entering the stage where it will be almost impossible for Boris Johnson to replace and fill his ministry positions - Nadine Dorries will have to start doubling up -

There is a good chance that only one candidate will cross the threshold of 100 supporters - which could mean @RishiSunak is PM on Monday @RestIsPolitics

A deeply deeply disturbing comment from Boris Johnson - implying that he alone speaks for the “real” people against an alien elite. He has embraced the essence of populism in all its contorted contemporary forms from Hungary to Brazil.

Sunday Times claims Boris Johnson personally "despises" his opposite number. An ally says: "He genuinely does not like Keir. He sees this man as part of a privileged, metropolitan, narrow-minded elite uncomfortable with the raw instincts of the vast majority of British people."

Deeply disturbing. All you need to know about the new right wing populism in the Conservative Party summed up in a smile from a former Home Secretary + applause as she attacks “the establishment…,the Brexit-bashing, free speech deniers at the BBC”.

Cummings here implies that he and Boris Johnson were doing reshuffles and promotions on the basis of people’s morality. In fact they promoted almost purely on the basis of loyalty. And by doing so they promoted some of the worst and excluded some of the best.

Getting a little confused with people asking whether I’ve resigned. I made that announcement 8 weeks ago - when I said that because of our differences on Brexit and prorogation, I wouldn’t be able to serve in a Boris Johnson cabinet...🤔

I cannot imagine how Boris Johnson is going to persuade some to sign up as his next “ethics adviser” after Lord Geidt’s resignation. Surely no-one serious would consider taking the job… Oh…wait a second… @RestIsPolitics
