That's all, folks! Goodness only knows what happens now. But at least that Grade A twat is no longer representing us abroad.

Great news! YANBU Grin

runningkeenster · 09/07/2018 15:07

Great news, yes.

However, I wonder what he's plotting :(

arranfan · 09/07/2018 15:07

You're not apprehensive he might make a run for PM? A position in which he'd humiliate us even more?

EstrellaDamn · 09/07/2018 15:08

He'll be representing us abroad a lot more if he wangles his way to becoming PM. I don't think this is a positive step at all.

WAHEY!!!!

Cornettoninja · 09/07/2018 15:09

It does have a faint whiff of conspiracy about it.... I hope it bloody backfires if that’s the case.

TheGlaikitRambler · 09/07/2018 15:10

YANBU!

DidimusStench · 09/07/2018 15:10

Double edged sword isnt it?

On one edge it’s fantastic. We don’t have to have that complete fool as a representative of this country. On the other, you can’t be sure he’s not making moves to become PM...

It's hard to see how things could get any worse for the UK. Bojo as PM would be even worse than May, but how long could he last? Gove in Brutus role, Tory party riven down middle.

If only the Labour Party was in any better fettle. If Corbyn was prepared to offer another referendum he'd walk home in the next election.

He wants to be PM though. Confused

brizzledrizzle · 09/07/2018 15:11

How long before May goes?

BestestBrownies · 09/07/2018 15:11

He's been angling for PM for ages now. Just imagine a world with Trump as president and Boris as PM...

Fuck that's frightening

HazelBite · 09/07/2018 15:13

Gosh, its all falling to peices isn't it, what a great impression this country is going to make on Friday.

I also think he is after being PM (heaven help us)

Zampa · 09/07/2018 15:14

Boris is definitely thinking PM.

There'll be a leadership contest very soon. Bet we end up with Jacob Rees-Mogg running the country.

Lepetitpiggy · 09/07/2018 15:14

I don't know who be more terrifying as PM, him or Walter...

Gruach · 09/07/2018 15:15

Whatever is football coming home to?

JelliedFeels · 09/07/2018 15:15

I’d rather have Boris than TM. She’s a useless pile of shit.

Cornettoninja · 09/07/2018 15:16

Corbyn has no interest in offering a referendum (even if we were in a position to turn round to the eu and say ‘just jokes guys - loves you’s’)

He is a trades unionist at heart and his interests lie in protecting British jobs for British people. He was a very reluctant remainer at the time of the referendum.

brizzledrizzle · 09/07/2018 15:16

Dusts off passport. Starts looking for Irish relatives.

QuizzlyBear · 09/07/2018 15:16

Thrilled! He's a national embarrassment. However I'm sure he has his own agenda (watch your back, everyone!)

runningkeenster · 09/07/2018 15:17

Bet we end up with Jacob Rees-Mogg running the country

Now that's really terrifying.

Appuskidu · 09/07/2018 15:17

Not sure this is anything to be pleased about-he’ll be going for PM...
