During Prime Minister's Questions on January 19, 2022, Conservative MP David Davis famously told Boris Johnson, "In the name of God, go!"

Johnson eventually quit Sept 6th, some 230 days later.

Such as it was yesterday ....

I think it was Cromwell said it first, but he arrived with a troop of soldiers to ensure compliance. Then installed himself as dictator so not a great role model.

"You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!" Cromwell, polished into more naturalised English by Carylse. 1653
