Piers Morgan believes that Boris Johnson won’t make it to the weekend as Prime Minister after the bombshell resignations of two of his Cabinet Ministers on Tuesday evening.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Savid Javid both stood down in the wake of the scandal surrounding the Prime Minister’s handling of the Chris Pincher situation.
It is now believed that Mr Johnson is fighting for his political life once again, with some bookmakers suspending betting on him resigning.

Piers told his viewers: “He’s been engulfed in a scandal again, after being caught lying, again.
“He did know about Chris Pincher and he lied. The scandal and lies have gone on for three years – is tonight the night that his house of cards finally collapses?”
Having made a pound bet with one of his contributors that Mr Johnson wouldn’t survive until Christmas, Piers continued: “I think he’s got two hopes until surviving the weekend – no hope and Bob Hope.

“If you’re in the middle of a pandemic and a financial crisis and your health secretary and Chancellor resign, that is the biggest two fingers to a serving PM that I could contemplate.
“The list of his own MPs who are expressing no confidence in Boris Johnson, I think by the time we come off air his position becomes untenable.
“Two more shattering blows are that Raab and Dorries are staying in their positions – that may be the tipping point!”

“This could be an electrifying night for British politics. He knew exactly what Pincher was like, it had been brought to his attention. He knew all along that everything he was telling us was complete nonsense.”
He fumed: “We should never be happy when a Government collapses in lies and ignominy and scandal. Why would any of us want that? It shames our country. IF the PM has to resign because he kept telling whoppers and breaking his own rules, we should expect better and we deserve better.
“It’s horse manure.”
Piers then got into a heated debate with Tory MP Peter Bone, who believed that the Prime Minister had not lied or misled the House of Commons and that people cared about the “policies, not the people”
One of “Boris Johnson’s closest allies” stoked the flames, telling the BBC that this signals the end for the PM.
“It will all be over by this time tomorrow,” they said. “No PM can survive the resignation of two senior cabinet ministers like that.”
