With Boris Johnson elimination from the race it’s not the best time to be prime minister to be the one supporting an untrustworthy part-time MP.
these 102 supports in full:
Jacob Rees-Mogg
Chris Pincher
Stanley Johnson
Various Downing Street photographers
Who paid for the wallpaper

Prime examples include Nadhima Zahavi –
Well, it’s embarrassing. Nadhim Zahavi’s article in support of Boris Johnson was published at 9pm – 2 minutes after he announced he was leaving the race. pic.twitter.com/pUiDs8prux

And, of course, Nadine Doris.
Nadine Dorries is now walking around her house crying quietly as she pops hundreds of custom-made balloons of her and Boris Johnson holding hands outside 10 Downing Street.@NadineDorries

But it was Jacob Rhys-Mogg’s cocky confidence that made him, in particular, seem like a man in the “figure out” stage of his life after he was interviewed about Johnson’s perceived suitability for the job, and this IT project tweet for 8th grade.
There was an obvious answer to that…
It’s a bust, Jacob. Time to go. https://t.co/ocjgRDg4zP

That wasn’t all people had to say about Rees-Mogg backing the wrong horse.

They think we’re fucking idiots! The absolute contempt they feel for you is unbearable. Now they can do what they want, right? Absolute self-serving scumbags. Thatcher would be rolling in her grave to know that this is who is now running her party. https://t.co/62FOzKsuld

Johnson did not run because all 100 MPs who supported him were imaginary friends of Jacob Rhys-Mogg.

Reece Mogg looks exhausted. As if he didn’t have time to hang upside down from his bell tower for weeks.

Funny! Blodjo cut his vacation short only to find his own group still considered toxic. How will Chitty Chitty Bang Bang villain Jacob Rees-Mogg handle what he so publicly stated about Boris or Bust. Surely he will do the decent thing and resign immediately? pic.twitter.com/GIOA59X01g

How many hours ago did Jacob Rees-Mogg say Boris Johnson would “obviously stand” for the Tory leadership?

Why do people say Zahawi, Rees-Mogg and Cleverley have ruined their reputations? All they did was prove who they are once again.

Rees-Mogg must be sick in his Victorian attic. I hope that the nanny will comfort him.

The only thing that makes me feel completely warm and fuzzy is the potential career-ending moment for Reese-Mogg.
The biggest fraud in political history…

Rees-Mogg may have to back off a bit.
Jacob Rees-Mogg told the BBC this morning that calls for a general election are “quite empty when the man who got the mandate (Boris Johnson) is actually the Prime Minister”.
Suppose he thinks calls for early elections are no longer empty?

And it’s not easy for pennies-farthings.
