Michael Gove voted out of Tory leadership race

Michael Gove has been voted out of the Tory leadership contest, leaving Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt to battle it out to become the party's next leader and the UK's next PM.

Boris paid Michael back for what he did to him. Revenge well served.

USA: Elect Donald Trump as president.


UK: Hold my tea...

[charlesreynolds]

All this madness started because the UK didn't like how Ed Miliband ate a sandwich

[Truthseeker]

Shocking. None of these 2 has the least potential to run the country. This is rewarding incompetence to such a level, it almost feels unreal. May was not so bad after all....

[misst.e.a.]

It's a foregone conclusion that Boris will be PM, his ultimate ambition before and during Cameron's day. Boris has been biding his time like a bird of prey waiting to dive for the kill.

Don't be fooled by his acting the buffoon; he has daggers hidden in all places.

Thank God that little slimy worm is out, at least.

Gove said to Boris: I bought some shoes from a drug dealer the other day. I don’t know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day!

[vimages]

Boris is going to ………………. Make Britain Great Again.

[densalgrant]

Well it's nice to see diversity with the two remaining frontrunners being in the ethnic minority in London

Diane Abbott has just confirmed that she believes it’s now been whittled down to 12

Gove was so bemused at reaching such dizzy heights that he started to stab colleagues in the front!

[henryvagincourt]

Get Boris in, then get us out of the EU.

[michaelharris]

am shocked it`s come to these two . get us out of the EU now whoever it is that wins. generations will look back and be staggered about the last 3 years of british politics

[charlieboy]

Think it safe to say the BOJO is the next PM.

[aprildangelo]

Could not have happened to a nicer man (not).

[Ciachoo]

>literally going to vote Boris as head of the party

Yes, this clearly shows the disconnection from reality of the Tory party, incredible - the brexit ideology has replaced any rational thought there.

[lenroddis]

Great news - hope that puts an end to those disturbing images of him jogging

[TheGheddon]

HAHAHA! Boris Johnson is to be PM! Why on earth are people concerned about us being in Europe when this is our leadership?

[fozcast]

And thus the keys to number 10 were handed to Boris Johnson...

[audience]

Boris may still find a way avoid putting the ball into an open net.
