and i ve agreed with brady, the chairman of our back bench mps, that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. and the timetable will be announced next week. and i have today appointed a cabinet to serve as i will until a new leader is in place. i ve tried to persuade my colleagues that it would be eccentric to deliver when we re only a handful of points behind the polls even in midterm after quite a few months of relentless sledging and when the economics scene is so difficult domestically and internationally. and i regret not to have been successful in those arguments and of course it is painful to be able to see through so many ideas and projects myself. but as we ve seen at westminster, the herd instinct is powerful and when the herd moves, it moves. and my friends, in politics no one is remotely indispensable. johnson spent days defying calls to step down from dozens of fellow members of his party. after a series of high-profile resignations from member
