I am overtaken by events.

I arrived back from posting a letter to hear that, despite rumours that he would not, the prime minister has resigned. Typical really, the letter was:

Her Majesty The Queen
Buckingham Palace
London SW1A 1AA

Dear Madam

In the light of the resignation of many of your ministers, I would
like to assure Your Majesty that should she wish for a new Prime
Minister, I would have no objection.

If you were to agreed to a request for a general election, suggested
to the PM the he should resign, asked him to resign, told him to
resign, or asked another senior MP to form a government, I would see
no constitutional threat to the Monarchy.

I have the honour to be, Madam, Your Majesty's humble and obedient servant
