What do you think this means for the conservative party long term

Sunak and Sajid will be replaced by the morning. I’m sure Sunak was planning this all along, no surprise to anyone,

Tbh, I don't think BJ is 'conservative', just 'self interested' and 'out for what I can get'.

Though willing to be corrected. Please feel free to define 'conservative' and point out to ignorant people like me how the current government got conservative principles. Hell, why not just explain what the current government's principles are, as I can't see any

Oh he absolutely isn't. I agree with you there.

Please educate me. I am willing to listen. I may not agree, but then it is my responsibility to come up with a rational argument to counter your rational argument. Be the better person.

I can’t see him going. Or dragging Carrie away from her expensive wallpaper. He’s gonna fight till the bitter end whilst doing fuck all about the nations problems.

They are saying Raab is loyal to bojo

He did seem to be distancing himself a bit this morning when the McDonald letter was thrown at him.

Provenceinthesummer · 05/07/2022 18:42

Boris isn’t going anywhere
Rishi was always manoeuvring and always had the support of Sajid. They both have their eye on the top job!
If it was Raab or Patel that would be different but we always knew what Sunak was up to.

According to this BBC article "There is no place for anyone in this government who abuses power," Mr Johnson said.

Boris Johnson said that, Boris Fucking Johnson. If ever there was a right time for someone to be struck by lighting out of the blue, that was the time. He has no self awareness whatsoever.

Can't see how he can continue having lost his chancellor and health minister - the fat lady is singing for Boris surely?

Ian Dales described the cabinet as having a whiff of decay and once the stench hits there is no turning back

I hear there are rumblings in both parties

I haven't used the word 'conservative'.

You have used the word 'socialist' so why not explain what that word means to you, and how the manifesto of any of the major political parties is 'socialist'.

Please can someone explain what this means in a TLDR - is it possible the tories won't be in government anymore or do we not know?

PlanetNormal · 05/07/2022 18:38

I genuinely do not believe Johnson will ever resign & leave Number 10 voluntarily. If the Tory party wants to get rid of him before the next election they will have to force him from office by defeating him in a leadership election.

Considering you think conservatives are conservative, me or anyone explaining to you what a socialist is will be a colossal waste of time.

Wait guys, what's going on?
Have they had enough of all the lies or is there more to it? I think there's more to it

When he goes, I hope the new PM likes expensive wallpaper

Define socialist, and compare with the manifesto of any major political party to prove me wrong

He said this 'may' be his last ministerial position I.e. if BJ remains as PM he won't get back in

But if he either a) wins the leadership contest and becomes PM, or b) supports the winner, he knows he's one of the prominent Tories and will be back in a senior position

Show quote history

Yes I think you are right.

I wonder if Boris is sitting in a fridge

Rishi certainly has ambitions but he'd be another disaster.

Show quote history

Early in Covid I felt sure Rishi would be PM before too long. I'm not sure he can recover from the wealthy wife and tax dodges though.
