At today's briefing, definitely not himself.

I'm not surprised. He's had covid, he's got to lead on the issue of covid, he's got to carry on with leaving the EU, his partner's just had their baby and his advisor is a twat.
I'd be looking pretty bloody crap.

LoseLooseLucy · 16/06/2020 17:25

I thought he looked better than usual actually.

HopeClearwater · 16/06/2020 17:26

He looks the same as ever. Fat and pasty-faced. Nothing new.

MrBennsshop · 16/06/2020 17:26

Grin He sound terrible and seems a bit muddled. Mind you, that's not unusual....

He should have got shut of his adviser then shouldn't he, Vetty.

2bazookas · 16/06/2020 17:43

we've been thinking the same for quite a while. (I;m talking about post-covid) . He's in a political mess on all fronts, he's been very seriously ill he's got a new baby cooped up in a flat at work and Cummings is a nightmare he can't wake up from. It's all too much for him.

Heading for collapse or breakdown .

Dailyjunglegrind · 16/06/2020 17:52

Boris has lost his energy, not looking the picture of strength and health he once had.

Incacat2 · 16/06/2020 17:53

Eh? I thought he looked far better and was feeling all jolly abut the new drug.

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 16/06/2020 17:55

Oh no,I do hope he’s not suffering.

Mumoblue · 16/06/2020 17:57

He always looks like a waxy pork pie to me.

Threads like these pop up quite frequently, I don't really understand why. He always looks terrible.

TSSDNCOP · 16/06/2020 17:58

It's ok, we have Premier League footballers advising him now. It's only a matter of time before I get the call to sit on his advisory body.

I can see the thread now "I am on the PM's advisory body AMA"

AKissAndASmile · 16/06/2020 17:59

He looks as unkempt, pasty, and overweight as he ever did. But yes, definitely not the same guy he was pre-corona.

mbosnz · 16/06/2020 18:07

I'd look a bit sick too, if I were presiding over this shit show, trying to convince the oiks, who simply weren't co-operating as they ought, that he and his cronies had done a simply spiffing job. . .

Because I thought he looked worse than normal and he was hoarse.

Hopefully he's sick with shame.

I don't think he's 'cooped up' - pretty sure he'll have plenty of space, not to mention being allowed to run around the grounds of Buckingham Palace etc.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 16/06/2020 18:32

"All too much for him".

He wants to try living in Poverty not knowing where he next meal is coming from or how he's going to put a decent pair of shoes on his kids feet!!!.
I've heard it all pity for a upper class Tory toff.

tiredanddangerous · 16/06/2020 18:35

He looks like a man who’s in way over his head. Which of course he is.

supersop60 · 16/06/2020 18:35

He always looks ill. But with his job, I don't know how he sleeps at night.

ChubbyPigeon · 16/06/2020 18:39

Hes running a country through a pandemic, he also has a small baby.

Most people with small babys look like shit for a while, combine that with running the country. Its pretty inevitable. Plus im never sure hes really looked well

mbosnz · 16/06/2020 18:51

He is? He's been MIA for most of it, although of course, for some of it he was sick as a dog with Covid, having been bravely and humorously shaking hands with Covid victims, to show how seriously he wasn't taking the whole business.

And he doesn't much look like the 'getting up for the night feeds' type to me, or the changing nappies type. Of course, there's a few women with we don't know how many children we could ask, as to that. . .

GazeboParty · 16/06/2020 19:02

Would anyone be surprised if he resigns - the job was meant to be easier than this - he's fucked up...must be miserable being so shit at your job, no wonder he's always Missing in Action.

Bluntness100 · 16/06/2020 19:03

Looked fine to me, in need of a haircut though.

ssd · 16/06/2020 19:04

How did you notice? He always looks bad.

MuthaClucker · 16/06/2020 19:06

I don't think he looks particularly different to how he's ever looked, but he's getting the premiership he deserved, that's for sure.

Sarahlou63 · 16/06/2020 19:09

The man can't pronounce the word 'to', never mind run a government...
