Even Boris's Brother Has Had Enough Of His Fuckery

Jo Johnson has resigned as a minister and will stand down as an MP in the looming election!

Can't blame him - it must have killed him to vote with Boris on his bollocks... he is much more politically same that BoZo.

Dame Caroline Spelman, the Conservative former environment secretary, has said she is standing down at the next election. Along with Labour’s Jack Dromey (they are both West Midlands MPs with many constituents working in the car industry), she tabled amendments earlier this year that led to the Commons voting against a no-deal Brexit. (The votes were not binding.) She also rebelled yesterday to back the Benn bill designed to rule out a no-deal Brexit.
