"Categorially denies".
Wait, I thought everybody knew such a gathering was against the
rules at the time, as per the Government's instructions?
Also, I suspect Raab is the most likely candidate for the job.

I love the : "Nobody warned me" bit despite some very noisy
people claiming they warned him to follow the rules.
Can that go in the acceptable reasons list for not following
rules ? I mean, can we use that for not paying taxes ?
Does the deputy PM take over immediately when the PM is booted
out or resigns, or does the PM stay on until the next one is
forced upon the nation ?

I believe the incumbent remains in post until the new leader is
confirmed.

Five-year-old Layla Somani has shown she understands coronavirus
rules and regulations far better than the British Prime Minister
in a recent video captured by her amused parents.
The young lady was so outraged that she demands #borisjohnson
goes to the Naughty center to apologise.

I believe the Deputy PM takes over immediately if the PM is
booted or resigns with immediate effect. But if the PM
announces his intention to step down, triggering a party
leadership election, I believe he stays as PM until his
replacement has been chosen.

Wondering if /when there'll be a vote of "no confidence " in
Bojo. I believe they need 54 MPs to get it over the line. His
position is untenable now.
Have to laugh at Cummings putting the boot in. I mean he's just
another entitled prick!
