Just in case anybody is still in any doubt as to the character of Mr Zahawi, he took the job on Tuesday evening knowing full well he would be approaching the PM the very next day to try and oust him. Tells you all you need to know about him. Like so many others in his party, personal ambition trumps integrity.

It gets better...

Think your hearing might be suspect. There is definitely a band. Decent game, this.

He's apparently refusing to quit because it would lead to chaos.

Laura Rafferty is in the NI squad. Unsure about any others though.

He's still never deleted it... Top trolling Dave 👍

BJ: "I'm here to talk about Policy" No, you're not. You're there to answer the questions put to you by the committee.

5 more resignations since this committee hearing began!

Apparently even Nadim Zahawi, who was only appointed as chancellor yesterday, is one of them.

Sajid Javid's statement was pretty damning, I thought. Surely Johnson must know the game is up now. Surely? There is simply no way he can ride this out and hope to win another general election.

Jesus! You're seriously still banging that drum are you? I don't know why I'm surprised. The hilarious thing is that only a few weeks ago you were trying to convince us you're actually a floating voter. Yet your blind hatred of Starmer/Labour, and willingness to believe any bit of negative press about him/them gives you away completely.

Oh you just have to love Cold War Steve!

Celebrating Independence Day with a bang!

Obviously Nadine didn't get the memo from the home office about promoting the "refugees are bad" message...

Boris on BBC news right now...

The big question is: does he have more pace than either of those two? The lack of speed among our current lot of inside forwards is what makes us so toothless and easy to defend against.

Haven't the club always said that SMS was designed as an all-seater stadium and so the angle of the slope that the seats are on is unsuitable for safe standing rows?

I don't know, but maybe it would be a good excuse to resurrect the old tradition of posting pictures of nuns on matchday threads.

Looking at the poses in those photos, it would appear he wants to be confused with him.

Good for him that he didn't go to a La Liga club in a region of Spain where they pronounce 'V' as a soft 'B'

See, this 'defence' might hold water if Johnson had at any point in the intervening years shown any remorse or acknowledgement that such comments were no longer acceptable (they still weren't in 1998, BTW). But he hasn't. He's unrepentant about it and has flatly refused to apologise when pressed on the matter.
