May has pulled out of tonight’s televised debate hosting The Spectators political award show tonight and sent Amber Rudd Michael Gove in her place.
Given the media helped him along by kind of dismissing the first 'knee touch' story, there must be worse down the line coming out about Fallon.
Question should surely be, if he's resigning for something that's bad enough to remove him from the Cabinet, why's he still alright to stay on as an MP? You'd imagine there's more to come anyway.
Fallon was such an unbelievably shameful cnut during the Miliband general election it is nice to see him squirm.
Was Fallon close to May? And is Rudd?
If Damien Green also falls, will she start to panic and just pack it in, do we think?

She's too stubborn to pack it in, I think. From what I know Fallon was a decent ally, hard to tell what goes on behind the scenes.

Glad to see the back of him. Unbelievably smarmy man, underrated on the Rees-Mogg scale.

The guy who implied MPs should not criticise the Saudis for their human rights violations to ensure they buy the UK's planes. Good riddance.
I hope this will allow May to throw Boris under the bus if there's a cause for it.

Someone should demand a fee. It also looks like The Sun really enjoy using puns.
But Defence is a bit of a dud job isn’t it? Hardly a top top cabinet position

Surely she can't survive this sort of near open rebellion. Seems like every Tory minister/MP is running to the first journalist they can find to criticise her.
She really is the reverse midas.
Everything she touches turns to shite.

Apparently Williamson's also been criticised in the past for bringing his pet tarantula Cronus to parliament. Surreal.

Boris has really totally blown his chance with the dithering hasn’t he?
Two hilarious quotes:
Asked if his conduct has always been becoming of a Cabinet Minister, Boris Johnson replied "You bet."
Tory Minister: "We were once the party of meritocracy."

Can't Johnson just feck off. Useless sack of turd.
I take it Boris means that he's very good at sexual harassment, knifing people in the back, and squashing news that he doesn't like. He definitely fits right in with the current cabinet.
You've just got to bow your head to a Saudi war criminal every few weeks and do what he tells you to.
It's embarrassing how May has held on, months after she should've resigned.
the ''Friends of Fallon'' are not happy are they?
and then some ''Old Tory'' vs ''New Tory'' backstabbing as well - this is great stuff
I quite like Theresa May - always something going on,

One of the worst PMs and administration in history, it has to be.
I'm young, Blair's govt is the only one I really remember clearly.
For the Caftards getting on a bit, has there been any this bad?

Moyes at United.
Major's was pretty shambolic.
Boris' 2017-2020 run was pretty bad.
Major 'back to basics' one, talking about family values, which was followed by 6 months of nothing but sleazy revealations about everyone on government, including his own affair with the egg woman edwina currie.
3 day week under heath was pretty atrocious too (although tories are currently claiming it happened under labour, it didn't)
Major's had someone shown up for sleaziness seemingly every week, either financially or morally.
Yes! Omg yes!
So why aren't you guys ridiculing Kelvin Hopkins and mentioning how shambolic the Labour Party is?
Or doesn't it count when it's your side?
