He's not going to get an easy ride. Great questions already. Really articualate anger and distress there.

Justine (who is sifting) can see the majority if not all of the questions so far are from genuine regulars as well like me, not from recently-joined opposition plants and SPADs.

I hope this is reflected in the webchat question selection and the answers, and that the media pick it up.

I live in a true-blue tory area , I can't see an upset here :(

Nor did they in Chesham and Amersham or North Shropshire until it happened. There are about 40 seats where the LibDems are second, some as in Raab's seat, quite closely. It's probably unlikely, but if the LDs won all those then whoosh Johnson's majority is gone.

I've just looked at the Rishi thread. What I want to know now is where are the questions from Janiie and Clavinova, telling him how wonderful he is?

I've left a comment but haven't asked a question yet. Need to have a think so will ask later.

Haven't read the Sunak thread yet but here is his approval rating

Boris Johnson speaking about the MoS article on Angela Rayner.

"I thought it was the most appalling load of sexist, misogynist tripe.. & if we ever find out who was responsible, I don't know what we'll do with them, but it will be the terrors of the earth"

On Boris Johnson’s sudden opposition to misogyny in politics, a reminder that his government blocked attempts to make misogyny a hate crime just two months ago.

Many of us who know North Shropshire well, could not see that deeply conservative area electing anything other than a Tory MP. If there was a snap election my prediction is the Tories would lose some True Blue seats as well as some Red Wall seats. Whether that would be enough to kick them out is a different question.

I agree with this.

We know he's someone who doesn't think the rules apply to him. Therefore to get what he wants he knows how to play the game.

I think in a snap election , the Tories would lose swathes of seats in remain places like Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

I think you’re right. And some of the red wall seats - which are still waiting for any sign of “levelling up” - have tiny majorities. In some cases only a few hundred people need to change their vote and the MP will change. Remember Johnson thanking them for lending him their vote?

We need a Labour/LibDem pact not to stand against each other in seats where one has a half decent chance of ousting the Conservatives. I think that might make a difference.

Maybe he thinks his lovely smile and boyish charm is going to win us all over. We can't really not love Rishi can we. Or so he thinks.

What’s this ‘terrors of the earth’ bull crap? 1. He still has to follow process 2. We’ve witnessed how he operates, he doesn’t sack anybody just lets the media loose until they quit. He couldn’t inflict a mild surprise never mind ‘terrors of the earth’.

It’s like watching blackadder do Putin.

Boris Johnson was talking on the weekend about cats or something : I'm surprised there wasn't a thread about it as he sounded deranged for a minute ( I know , what's new ? )
It might have been whilst he was in India ?
It was brief, but I couldn't make out what he was on about ?
A bit like his statement about Angela Raynor !

The "terrors of the earth" is a reference to King Lear.

He just can't stop showing off with overblown language.

We all know that the quoted Tory MP will never be investigated, let alone revealed and the terrors of the earth nonsense will come to nothing.

I thought it was a biblical reference at first to be honest ! (Now he is a Catholic etc etc)
He must just quote Shakespeare a lot I bet.
Takes him back to his A level years.

I thought it was a reference to Pritti Patel.

"I will do such things - what they are yet I know not but they shall be the terrors of the earth"

The "terrors of the earth" is a reference to King Lear.

Oh that’s embarrassing. I’m an English graduate and didn’t recognise it. 😳

It's an unfortunate reference isn't it?

A 'foolish, fond old man' full of impotent, misogynistic rage who can't even conceptualise or articulate what revenge he will wreak on his 'ungrateful' daughters. So then he wanders about on a heath with a fool and loses all his power and his mind uttering wild, uncontrolled monologues,. Hmm.

Piggy, seems that Lear and Boris Johnson have things in common then after all ?..
Did anyone hear him muttering about cats the other day ? I think I am the only one who caught that gem!!
