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

Odd for me to see people talking about the old boy's network and private schools.

Probably not representative as people of different stripes make up their own minds, but it's become funny how predictable this is, every Corbynite working class hero I meet, ever, is a comfortably off, often privately educated hippy. and every bemonacled Tory pauper-hunting toff I meet, ever, is something like a window cleaner.

Coincidence I guess.

Indeed we did and a twat and incompetent a racist and a communist providing the so called opposition!

Fucked we are

BishopBrennansArse · 09/07/2018 21:57

Yep I'll admit there's very little opposition for Brexit. They've all drunk the kool aid on that one.

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 09/07/2018 21:58

I’m sorry but Hunt is a cunt tbh

It is.Sad

What’s it do?

foxssoxareinthebox · 09/07/2018 22:01

Yep, let’s hope he ends up as PM. Or better still JRM.

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 22:01

And labour won’t find the rudder either!

TheMonkeyMummy · 09/07/2018 22:03

@Poloshot whaaaaat? Joking?

NanaNoodleman · 09/07/2018 22:06

V much enjoying the news footage of Johnson leaving the foreign secretary’s residence. He should never had heldvthus great office. He has only demeaned it, worthless piece of rubbish that he is

QuiteUnfitBit · 09/07/2018 22:09

Now that sentence can unite all the posters on this thread.... assuming Poloshot is being ironic Grin

Poloshot · 09/07/2018 22:10

@TheMonkeyMummy absolutely not

TheMonkeyMummy · 09/07/2018 22:15

@NanaNoodleman yes! He's a bloody buffoon.

FortheloveofCod · 09/07/2018 22:18

Its nice to know that in the Tory cabinet all you need to do is show reluctant willingness to get a new job. Clearly having someone who is qualified and has the qualities to do it well isnt important.

MoreProsecco · 09/07/2018 22:21

No integrity requires either.....

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 22:27

Nana

Totally right there about Boris.

Fortheloveofvcod

As opposed to be an old shag of the leader serving because no one of any standing will serve in the shadow cabinet? Or a chancer like Thornbury.

Awful awful awful choices

TattyTshirt · 09/07/2018 22:27

@NanaNoodlemanyes! He's a bloody buffoon

No more a buffoon than Bumbling Diane Abbott tbf

jasjas1973 · 09/07/2018 22:41

Not at all comparable!

Boris fcuked up the release of the woman in an Iranian jail because he didnt read his brief, he was representing the UK around the world, ensuring we remained a laughing stock.

Abbot has no power, in an opposition not worthy of the name.

MyNameIsNotSteven · 09/07/2018 22:41

I thought I felt sorry for May this morning but then I remembered that she put herself up for this twice and doggedly refuses to resign even though she has no credibility.

I despair of UK politics (and US Of course - I remember the day Trump announced his candidacy and thought it was a joke. It fucking is). Why is this country so mediocre? I do think that to become a politician you generally have to have an enormous ego, so that is possibly the stumbling block.

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 22:44

So we are saying Abbott is incompetent, as of course we all know she is, but she hasn’t been home sec yet so hasn’t fucked up yet on the works stage!

Hells bells! God help us.

TattyTshirt · 09/07/2018 22:45

Can you imagine the chaos she could cause if Labour get in power?

Don't worry about it though because if Labour ever get into power Abbott and Corbyn won't be there...

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 22:54

Na even Corbyn realises abbott was a liability during her atrocious laughable election campaign.

ginghambox · 10/07/2018 00:06

And Corbyn wasn't a liability.
