Failing to invest for the passed 12 years except in the already very wealthy and then raising taxes on the poorest is a sure way of ensuring that Britain is well placed to weather any global storms.

See Johnson has been doing his press conference finally.

"Blah blah listen & learn blah blah"

Yeah right! Politicians always come out with this like we're all too stupid to realise this is just meaningless shite and they have no intentions to make a change.

"no intentions to make a change."

And incapable of making any

See Birmingham Airport chief executive has got a 49% pay rise. Although Heathrow ceo received an 85% one previously.

“No doubt people will continue to beat me up,” says Boris Johnson as he urges people not to focus on his “personality”
“I genuinely don’t think the way forward in British politics is to focus on issues of personality, whether they are mine or others," Boris Johnson told Beth Rigby

From the man who has based his whole political career on his personality

Johnson's hair is looking really chlorine yellow. What has he/Carrie been doing to it?!

That can be sun damage. He needs to use purple shampoo I believe

I'm blonde. My hair used to go green with Sun In and then swimming. Too much time in hot countries on away trips, I guess.

I have it on good authority that he has been swimming in the hotel pool.

It [T & H result] wasn't a massive surprise.

The size of the majority was. Overturning a majority of 24, 000 would have led one to expect a majority of a couple of 100 at best..

Apparently he was planning to tell Prince Charles off for daring to have a private conversation about Rwanda. I do hope, if he does, PC will tell him to fuck right off. He's hardly in a position to take either the moral or constitutional high ground with anyone.

issues of personality

Issues of personality? Is this setting a precedent for a legal defence?

I read somewhere he changed his mind about it.

Just been amusing myself looking at the comments about the by elections on YouGov Daily Chat. One referring to Johnson as Boris the Cockwomble (which Mumsnetter was this?) and another as Noris Johnson (presumably a typo?)

🔺 Update: Tory rebels are planning a takeover of the 1922 Committee of backbenchers to lay the ground for another attempt to oust Boris Johnson

Be interesting to see if this comes to anything...

Can't get that link to come up with that

Says tweet is deleted

Be interesting though after what their treasurer said. Don't really know how the 1922 committee works beyond representing backbenchers

Hmmm

Tory rebels are planning a takeover of the 1922 Committee of backbenchers to lay the ground for another attempt to oust Boris Johnson.
Opponents of the prime minister are planning to nominate a slate of candidates sympathetic to changing rules that bar another leadership challenge for the next year.

Bozo on c4 news being interviewed one to one by Kristan Gurumurthy.

I think his goose is cooked and he'll be terminated over the weekend while he's away. Fingers 🤞

Oh can't we have the farce continue for a bit longer please.
