At today's briefing, definitely not himself.

Or that his life is in any way affected by the new baby

BruceAndNosh · 16/06/2020 20:08

I've never really seen Boris look the glowing picture of health

Rubychard · 16/06/2020 20:09

Hmm wouldnt surprise me if he's still really I'll.

My friend had covid and it would appear that her immune system is now completely shot. Shes had 5 lots of antibiotics in 8 weeks. It's just infection after infection.

That's what you get when you're an a&e nurse with no ppe Angry

ButteryPuffin · 16/06/2020 20:09

He used to look not exactly healthy, but nowhere near as unhealthy as he does now.

tinytemper66 · 16/06/2020 20:13

He looks like the same twat as he ever was.

tinytemper66 · 16/06/2020 20:14

He looks like the same twat as ever!

joystir59 · 16/06/2020 20:14

He looks as vile as he is

NoWordForFluffy · 16/06/2020 20:15

@secretnurse

I'm no fan of the guy but of course he doesn't look well - aside from everything else he has a new baby at home! He hasn't slept longer than 2 hours in one go for ages!
You've missed the news that he has a long nap during the day then?

There is no way on this earth that he's getting up in the night with the baby. Zero. Maybe he gets woken a bit, but he won't be doing the graft.

Sparklingbrook · 16/06/2020 20:16

He looked ok to me just in need of a haircut- but aren't we all.

DoctorHildegardLanstrom · 16/06/2020 20:16

I have heard the same rumours about him drinking and do wonder how true it is.

I was so surprised to see him today, I thought it was Wednesday

peppapigisscottish · 16/06/2020 20:17

I don't give a shit TBH. He doesn't give a shit about us so I have no figs to give if he looks ill.

wildcherries · 16/06/2020 20:17

@midsomermurderess

I know it's a bit off point, but why do so many posters keep calling him Boris? Why not call him Johnson? It's only 2 letters more and not so cringingly chummy. Even any irony attaching to it has long, long worn off.
I often wonder about this.
peppapigisscottish · 16/06/2020 20:18

He needs a haircut and a decent suit that fits.
I know hairdressers aren't open but surely someone could stand a couple of metres away from him and reach out with a pair of garden shears and it would look better than it does.

Do they still execute people in England?

MetalMoo · 16/06/2020 20:20

He's always looked like a scarecrow made of lard*.

He's a massive racist and misogynist, and he's wilfully used his privilege to punch down time and time again. He's repeatedly voted to inflict horrendous stress on the most vulnerable in society. And, when it comes to actual hard work, he's incompetent and lazy.

It's not particularly charitable, but I feel that he deserves every ounce of suffering he can get.

ItsSpittingEverybodyIn · 16/06/2020 20:20

Love his lockdown hair, yes it was a bit mad before but now it's full on crazy, he'll be like an old English sheepdog soon.

EtonianMother · 16/06/2020 20:20

people are sceptical of anything a middle-aged white former Etonian says

Well, I'm not. I'm sceptical about anything Johnson says, though.

Roussette · 16/06/2020 20:20

I am amused at anyone thinking he is getting only 2 hours sleep at a stretch. Does anyone honestly think he's stroking baby's head whilst Carrie is feeding him?!
He'll be in another room sleeping.
As for saying he's cooped up in a flat, don't make me laugh! I once saw some pictures of No. 10 and No. 11 years ago, they will be bigger than most people's houses.

He is just not cut out for the job. End of. He can give a good soundbite I'll give you that. Apart from that he's useless. And probably isn't 100% either.
All his worst nightmares have come true. He needs to go.

MetalMoo · 16/06/2020 20:21

*Normally I wouldn't be cruel about a person's appearance, but after all the shit Boris has written over the years, I'm ok with it in his case.

Ellmau · 16/06/2020 20:23

I reckon he'll resign in December/beginning of January so he can claim he Got Brexit Done, then leave to someone else to deal with the results.

gamerchick · 16/06/2020 20:30

He's got the job he deserves. He lied and schemed to get it. He can suck it up.

Changing nappies indeed. I doubt he's changed 2 nappies in his life. Maybe once for the fun of it....

wanderings · 16/06/2020 20:32

He's struggling to adapt to his new normal; he became PM so he could get Brexit done.

why do so many posters keep calling him Boris? Because "Johnson" is a rather ordinary name. Nobody knew who "Tony" was, but everyone knew who "Blair" was.

ListeningQuietly · 16/06/2020 20:33

Alexander Johnson carefully ruffles his hair before appearing on camera.

He has been moving between several LARGE houses
and has access to the MASSIVE gardens of Buckingham Palace.

NO WAY is he looking after the baby - he does not admit to knowing at least one of his other children.

DO NOT offer him any sympathy

as he would never have any for you.

GetOffYourHighHorse · 16/06/2020 20:34

Looked ok to me, despite being critically ill a matter of weeks ago. He needs to lose some weight.

He held his own fine earlier in the Commons with nasallly Orville/Starmer trying to be all clever and failing yet again. I do think Labour need someone with a booming voice to project their points a bit more convincingly. Whiny Starmer just doesn't cut it. At least he's stopped the dramatic pauses.

@peppapigisscottish

I don't give a shit TBH. He doesn't give a shit about us so I have no figs to give if he looks ill.
I give a shit simply because whoever we have as Prime Minister should be well enough to do the job. If, as I suspect, he's still dealing with the after effects of severe covid, there's no shame in that unlike most things about him but he should be honest enough to admit to it so proper arrangements can be put in place to cover while he recuperates.

Also there's no fucking way he's losing any sleep because of the new baby.
