Johnson is leaving in disgrace because of flaws in his personality and behaviour, as scores of ministers complained in their resignation letters.
Finally thwarted by the mass of his ministers and MPs turning away from him, he has still not left the scene. He is clinging on messily as a caretaker.
If he won't go quietly in the next few days - and there is no sign that he will - Tory MPs are already speeding up the election process so he sticks around for the shortest time possible. That was the way the Tories did things back then. MPs alone chose the leader without a democratising vote of the membership.Both bowed to the mood against them while seemingly still in their pomp. Thatcher went despite winning the first round of her leadership challenge, the 1989 version of a vote of confidence.
Six months after winning her vote of confidence, May gave up when it became clear that she could no longer get legislation through parliament.I witnessed these departures as they happened. Although sticking rigidly to my broadcaster's impartiality, I admit I was moved and felt some sympathy for each of the protagonists.
