Boris Johnson continually dodges questions about resignation

Thousands are set to attend 'Boris Johnson's going away party' as the embattled Prime Minister's future hangs by a thread.

Preparations for the possible departure of the Prime Minister are underway, a Facebook event at 7:00 p.m. on Friday July attracted more than 2,800 confirmed guests and 12,500 interested revelers.

The public Facebook event, which was set up by Howie Scarbrough, asks guests to bring drinks and parting cakes - a tribute to the Partygate saga, one of the many scandals that engulfed Prime Minister during his tenure.

The party, which kicks off at 7.00pm in central London, will be held outside Mr Johnson's current home - Number 10 Downing Street - and guests from around the world are invited to join.

And guests were quick to react to the departure event on Facebook as cheering revelers prepare for a party outside No 10 - if the Prime Minister leaves.

One wrote, "It will be a business event." Another added: "We all know Boris can throw a big party! Should I bring a bottle of cheap Asti?"

A third commented, "I have my own suitcase full of booze ready, let's go!"

The comments made fun of the nude...
