I think Rory Stewart sums him up well - see attached tweet.

Johnson is a weather vane, easily turned.

Good for her.

WaitroseWoman · 07/07/2022 23:50

She's living her best life at the expense of he who must not be named!

Wallpapergate: Leaked £200,000 invoice reveals Boris Johnson’s No 11 flat renovation included £7,000 rug and £3,675 trolley

WaitroseWoman · 08/07/2022 00:14

He's off his trolley!

DuncinToffee · 08/07/2022 00:23

Not just a trolley, a Nureyev trolley

It's staggering, over £200,000 spent on a budget of £30,000, and cheapest item a £500 table cloth Shock

Who is paying for the wedding party!?

HeddaGarbled · 08/07/2022 00:24

How interesting that this has been leaked right now. Who and why?

WaitroseWoman · 08/07/2022 00:50

Not just a trolley, a Nureyev trolley
That's ballet expensive!

It really is a case of Carrie Antoinette.

the80sweregreat · 08/07/2022 03:58

That's a lot for a trolley. Another world.
I bet Dominic Cummings leaked that story , he likes trolley emojis.

The Mail has tried to drum up some sympathy for Mrs Johnson today about leaving the wallpaper behind , the comments pages were scathing about that one! Have sympathy for her ? They won't be out on the streets I'm sure

Has anyone seen the tweet from Michelle Barnier?

I don't have twitter so can't link but it's pretty telling

greenacrylicpaint · 08/07/2022 06:21

The WHOLE issue is that he doesn't have a grasp of social norms. He doesn't understand he has to also hold him self accountable to the same standards if the electorate. He doesn't understand that you can't just tell people what they want to hear all the time and ignore the consequences if that.

he absolutely unerstands.
he doesn't care.

He has never had to face negative consequences for ignoring social norms, on the contrary, he has been rewarded and admired for it. Because of the privileges he has had all his life, he has been enabled and encouraged to see himself as a special case to whom the rules don't apply.

I did enjoy the ‘Nads, leave means leave’ comment underneath Grin

we all know where her priorities lie past BJ. Let’s not forget before the VONC her line on her rounds was ‘people need to remember the donors’. (Who incidentally will probably just schmooze the new leader)

In that Mail headline "What have they done?" - who is the They? I am intrigued to know who they think their current enemy is.

I must say the Mail plays the victim very well. But I think Dorries, JRM, Andrea Jenkyns etc alll genuinely believe that is some kind of tragedy.

They are not wrong. It is a tragedy for the UK each minute longer that Boris is PM.

I also do think he is good at making big decisions

I keep hearing this being said. Which 'big' decisions are you refering to ?

The important big decisions like which woman (did you know he knows what a woman is?) today.

Thanks I saw it on the news but couldn't link here to show you all!

I probably need to join Twitter at some point in the 21st century! I just read all your links!
