It was announced earlier tonight that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is quitting parliament with immediate effect.
The resignation is due to certain elements within parliament who do not seem to be all that enthusiastic about democracy giving him s**t over eating some cake, which then led to 2 changes of Prime Minister and thousands of long-time supporters of the Conservative Party with 20 to 40 years or more experience to give up on the party.
An 80-seat majority won by Boris Johnson in the last general election has been flushed down the toilet.
Hard to disagree with anything in the @BorisJohnson statement. This has been nothing like a fair “trial”. https://t.co/1Conf5BlKm

Very sad news for Britain. As PM @BorisJohnson delivered Brexit for the British people, and played a key role in shaping Britain’s future as a sovereign nation free of the shackles of the EU.
No doubt he will be back, fighting again for freedom.https://t.co/BqKHBt4R2N

Boris Johnson has been hounded out of No.10 and Parliament by a witch-hunt and kangaroo court which would make East Germany blush.
Democracy in the UK is in a perilous state; undermined by bad losers who cannot accept democratic outcomes and do not trust the electorate.

We lost a fantastic politician because of cake – he ate some damn cake in his office where he lives and works.
British politics is actually an embarrassment

Whether you like Boris or not the way in which a man who won an 80 seat majority has been forced out is an appalling stain on democracy. Shame on the privilege committee and all the snakes involved in the anti-democratic witch hunt against a British PM.

Parliament just put two fingers up to the British electorate and said we don’t care who you voted for or the manifesto, we are in charge and we will do what we want. Parliament have forced out a democratically elected PM and MP and his manifesto. Democracy is dead.

Three years ago, you, the British public, gave Boris Johnson a mandate to govern.
Instead of respecting that mandate, the political establishment hounded him out of No.10 and out of Parliament.
They don’t trust you to choose who runs the country. They view you with contempt.

A bad day for democracy. @BorisJohnson won a massive democratic mandate & bravely fought for brexit. Sad to see him go, with findings of a kangaroo court. May the dust settle & he one day return. Wolves be at bay, so he, Carrie & their wonderful family have peace. Thank you Boris pic.twitter.com/eujrsl9UL6

The UK is saddled with a Prime Minister only a few wet MPs wanted (and whose government caved to the EU over NI) while the man to whom the electorate gave an overwhelming mandate has been forced out of Parliament.
Many will be left questioning the state of British democracy.

When Boris came to Bloxwich in 2019, the high street came to a standstill. Everyone wanted to wish him well or get a selfie.
Buses stopped while the driver and the passengers took photos.
No one else in British politics has the same affinity with the public.#Boris pic.twitter.com/KfwaqG6EW3

Now Boris Johnson has resigned his seat I don’t see any hope for the @Conservatives at the next election
Rishi Sunak and his band of remainers have totally destroyed the party.
It’s going to be a blood bath.
I would 100% vote for a party with Boris as leader.

EVERY WORD “It is very sad to be leaving parliament – at least for now – but above all I am bewildered and appalled that I can be forced out, anti-democratically, by a committee chaired and managed, by Harriet Harman, with such egregious bias.”

Tonight we saw the end result of a parliamentary witch-hunt which would put a banana republic to shame. It is the people of this country who elect and decide on their MPs. It’s called democracy and we used to value it here. Sadly this no longer appears to be the case. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/Zu29PBx1Vn

He didn’t lie and @RishiSunak is a nasty piece of work that has killed the Conservative Party with the help of detached self serving grey suits. Dear Rishi, you can take my lifelong membership and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. You are no conservative and you will NEVER be… https://t.co/gWbHr9hagZ

Absolutely appalled that you allowed this to happen @RishiSunak @Conservatives . Never again shall I vote for your Party. You are a snake @RishiSunak and you will reap what you sowed. I hope it is soon.

TODAY will be remembered as the day the @Conservatives LOST the General Election without a SINGLE VOTE being cast! The party have pissed up the wall an 80 seat majority, BLAME lies with @RishiSunak and the spineless backstabbing MPs who followed Sunak. @GBNEWS @danwootton #coup https://t.co/o0owlE6d3y
