Cornetto anything seems possible. I was wondering if hedge fund people are making money on the value of the pound dropping through the floor and Blojo is benefiting financially from spinning that out for longer somehow. I mean I’ve no idea, but I wouldn’t put anything past him.

How things may or may not unfold:

  • Chief Mouser resigns
  • Dilyn the dog appointed Chief Mouser
  • Dilyn asks PM to resign
  • PM sacks Dilyn
  • Paddington Bear spotted in the Windsor area
  • And it's confirmed: Queen asks Paddington Bear to form new government

He has a lot of support still.
People still like him

Yeah apparently it's a disgrace that the "left wing press" is out to get him.

There, there! I'll slap you on the back as you choke on your snack at this ludicrous concept

We all live in a yellow submarine...(don't know where that one came from...)

I fear it may have been missed that after Gove has been sacked, there is now not a single Minister left in the Department for Levelling Up - the flagship policy of the government

Will anyone actually notice the demise of this fairytale department ?

the80sweregreat · 06/07/2022 22:21

I don't like him, but I know people that do.

vera99 · 06/07/2022 22:24

No, but I bet BJ still bangs on about it

it's all too fast paced for me yawn. I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow.😀

Notonthestairs · 06/07/2022 22:25

I'm getting worried that he's going to crash the economy whilst he's thrashing around. This pretty much sums it up for me -

"Events in #DowningStreet will seriously harm the #UK economy. We look like a corrupt authoritarian regime; we exude incompetence and amorality. This undermines business confidence, damages relations in our trading partners, and hammers a nation already on its knees. Stop now"

Johnson doesn't have a shred of integrity or responsibility. He's going to take us all down with him - and then blame us for it.

They are not well, nor principled.

Cornettoninja · 06/07/2022 22:28

@Notonthestairs if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck…..

I’m sorry to say we are that country.

He's probably had a couple of bottles and is busy breaking the swing in the garden whilst Carrie (if she's there) has given a blow-by-blow account to Zac watching him from the window where he staggers round shirt undone flies open and piss stains all down his trousers breaking small trees.

I really feel like Johnson’s been on the phone to Trump for tips today..

Well, his hairdresser has gone...

Lingoflaming · 06/07/2022 22:32

How long do you think Carrie will hang around once he's finished as PM? I think Boris is staying because he knows Carrie will leave him if he's not PM.

Like the other fairytale department, Brexit opportunities?

Melania is still with Trump isn't she?

the80sweregreat · 06/07/2022 22:33

It is like those crazy films where the main character has a complete break down ( the one with Michael Douglas springs to mind)
This could get very nasty and the crowds outside number 10 sounded very wound up too

On paper yes they are still married but reports say they live very separate lives.

BJ didn't even have the back of his shirt tucked in at PMQs - he kept trying, and failing, to tuck it in as he spoke.

Fabricant was having a particularly bad hair day.

I think that's just Steve Bray having the day of his life Grin

Best bit today was him catching MPs scuttling off and ghastly Lord Moylan said some twaddle, then in his hurry to escape, walked into a lampost

Allegedly she's already gone.... And also allegedly he's already had another affair/impregnated his hairdresser
