Good move. All I know is, we are a complete laughing stock throughout the world and BJ is adding to that big time. People are incredulous that he is in the running at all

Never mind, he has the enquiry to answer to, so it'll be short lived if he does get in

Rishi Sunak isn't even British!'

I'm beginning to think the Tory's don't even know what they stand for.

For example - Braverman wants protests illegal. Yet voted no to having buffer zones at abortion/ sexual health clinics.

Many also share the opposing views according to their voting records.

But apparently they are also the party of woman's right Confused

It is exactly the same if a trump were to run again.

Yet USA has people that'll defend that and buy into it being a campaign about him - not that he did anything wrong.

Yet somehow - many many billions of humans manage to get through their lives without the same reputation.

Party of women’s rights my arse.
good old Tory misogyny and moral hypocrisy is alive and well over opposing abortion clinic buffer zones.
Thank you to Stella Creasy for championing this campaign so successfully.

The Tories have absolutely fucked themselves, all moral and political credibility is lost, but frighteningly they are dragging us all down with their sinking ship further and further over recent days. Economic outlook for the UK now downgraded further. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63352556

Boris is clearly lying about how much support from the party he’s actually got. If they take him back, it will be a complete disaster. I don’t want that for us as a country.

Its a nauseating spectacle seeing the Tories jockey for leadership, leaving us yet in another bloody power vacuum with our food and goods and petrol prices going up daily. Real pain is being inflicted on the public while this bunch of useless, grubby self serving narcissists fight to get up the greasy pole in their own interests and the Tory party’s interests. Nobody out in the real world wants to see another unelected Tory leader at this time of multiple crises. We need a general election NOW.

Yes but VACCINES and UKRAINE!!

The irony is that while Sunak was born in Southampton, Johnson was born in New York, so if anyone is "not British" it's Johnson.

I suppose you have to tell yourself things like that when you can’t reconcile falling for the con.

DowningStreetParty · 22/10/2022 18:35

True. You forgot KIER AND ANGELA HAD A BEER EACH AT WORK ONCE

I know that I need to lighten up or all this will drive me nuts.. but it’s all just SO shitty and anti democratic.
The arrogance of those absolute shameless fuckers getting to pick the PM for the second time after their first pick crashed the UK economy within literally days.
Truss wasn’t even sorry. She doesn’t think she did anything wrong! She said she just ‘went too far too fast’ for us. We noticed that we were frogs being boiled when she and Kwarteng had hoped we’d not spot it in time.

Every single person I speak to is aghast at the whole situation and says that they can’t believe that we aren’t being allowed a GE after this colossal disaster with Truss. This is going to bite the Tories on the arse electorally, but in the meantime I am worried about what kind of fresh hell they will bring in with the new PM.

Who is? I've said a couple of times I think Sunak will swing it I just find all the hysteria about Big Dog returning strangely amusing. He did do a good job, most folk can see beyond the media smears. Not some of the weasly backbenchers granted.

I'm pretty sure that most people around the world think of Johnson as a joke, and symbolic of the UK's post-Imperial decline.

The only people who like him anywhere are some UK Tories and (as far as the think about the UK at all) some Trumpists.

DowningStreetParty · 22/10/2022 18:40

haha 😂

DuncinToffee · 22/10/2022 18:40

It's easy to repeat sound bites rather than applying critical thinking.

TomPinch · 22/10/2022 18:41

According to Guido Fawkes Johnson hasn't got his hundred nominations yet.

He also hasn't confirmed publicly that he's standing - probably for the same reasons.

jgw1 · 22/10/2022 18:43

Rhondaa · 22/10/2022 18:36

Exactly.

And being bold enough to see that the covid laws were ridiculous and best ignored if one wanted a birthday party. Don't forget the leadership he showed there @Janiie .

DowningStreetParty · 22/10/2022 18:46

I think we’ve all got lots to learn from a serial liar who won’t even go on the record with how many kids he’s got.

Does he know how many children he has?

TomPinch · 22/10/2022 18:51

Hahaha! David Frost is backing Sunak and says it's time to move on from Johnson. Gold!!

That caller made it absolutely clear that, in his view, the majority of CP members want a WHITE ENGLISH Prime Minister.

Sangita Myska did a brilliant job in the interview, imo.

Yes and maybe won't get to 100. I think the msm are whipping you all up. Again. Calm down watch a bit of strictly is my advice.

TomPinch · 22/10/2022 19:16

Why take advice from you? You said Johnson got the UK through the pandemic.

Blossomtoes · 22/10/2022 19:17

Why would MSM whip us all up?

TheHouseonHauntedHill · 22/10/2022 19:19

@Roussette

Laughing stock to whom?

USA thinks trump may be back soon, a threat that can't be ignored?

Macron...every year opposition grows and he is clinging on by a thread, Italy? Orban?

The only person/people's of note are our enemies sadly.
