Boris Johnson is finally going to resign – 27 funniest responses
It feels like we’ve been waiting for Boris Johnson to resign as prime minister even longer than he’s actually been prime minister.
But today his time was finally up after 59 Conservative MPs (at the time of writing) resigned and it turned out he was unable to staff the entire Cabinet with just Nadine Dorries.
We’ve read all the reaction – well, quite a lot of it – and here are our 27 favourite things people are saying right now.

It’s a bit like that phenomenon when someone wants to break up with their partner and marries them instead. I now want Johnson to stay forever, and for this madness to be the norm
