And we don’t have to have Boris as PM?

@billysboy what is it you like about Boris? Genuine question as so far I don't see anything good about him. Happy to be educated.

Fibbke · 20/06/2019 18:49

The good thing about Boris is that he has a lot of parliamentary support. We need a leader with a supportive team

Anyonefeelthesame · 20/06/2019 18:50

Boris is our version of Trump IMO.

Hunt might be bad, but Boris makes us a laughing stock.

Still, how long before there is a GE and how will that play out?

I would like someone like Keir Starmer to be Labour leader.

What's with all the Corbyn hate? I'd much rather have a guy who's an old school socialist than someone who's LITERALLY pledged to cut tax for the rich. Again.

TheAngryLlama · 20/06/2019 18:54

I’m afraid I think keir starmer, who has provided a veneer of intellectual and ethical respectability to Corbyn, is a bigger scumbag than Boris. He should have kept clear of the turd instead of polishing it while biding his time for his power grab. Odious little man.

Anyonefeelthesame · 20/06/2019 18:56

What has Keir Starmer done?

Genuine question?

It’s going to be fucking Boris, isn’t it? Wish I wasn’t too old to emigrate.

Fibbke · 20/06/2019 18:58

What has Keir Starmer done?
Sat smugly on the sidelines doing fuck all until its his chance to be leader. Awful.

StCharlotte · 20/06/2019 18:58

I made the mistake of reading your thread title out loud!

WoollyMollyMonkey · 20/06/2019 18:58

It’s like choosing between two turds. I don’t want either thank you.

Fibbke · 20/06/2019 18:58

Ha angryllama we are as one

Bluntness100 · 20/06/2019 18:59

Hunt just doesn't come across like he has rhe balls for the job. That's rhs issue, he comes across wet, like major or Duncan Smith,

As much as I'm no fan of Boris, I do think he will be more moderate as pm than his behaviour as pm opponent would have us believe.

I dunno. Let's see.

Boris is our version of Trump IMO

He's nothing like Trump, apart from being a big bloke with mad hair. Its such a lazy comparison.

Anyonefeelthesame · 20/06/2019 19:02

Maybe, but they are both universally derided and an embarrassment, frequently talk nonsense, and narcissistic. Yes and the hair which doesn’t help.

I also think that Boris will pursue an alt right agenda if he thinks it will further him.

Alsohuman · 20/06/2019 19:03

You’ve said that twice today @Fibbke. He’s a complete caricature, just like Trump. God help us when his minders let him loose.

Fibbke · 20/06/2019 19:04

Boris isn't universally derided. And theres absolutely no evidence to suggest he will pursue an alt right agenda!

Alsohuman · 20/06/2019 19:05

He’s universally derided outside the Tory bubble.

Fibbke · 20/06/2019 19:06

I've said it twice because people keep saying he's 'like trump'. Was David Cameron like trump? Is Jeremy hunt like trump? Boris shares their policies. People say hes like Trump because he has stupid hair. Its so pathetic.

Anyonefeelthesame · 20/06/2019 19:07

Well no I know because he will win, but his numerous gaffes and stupidities mean that he is derided by any politicians of stature, here and worse, abroad.

And he is on course to win because Tory MPs think he will get back Brexit Party votes.

Will come back to you on the alt right thing. But the fact that Trump endorses Jim makes me anxious.

Anyonefeelthesame · 20/06/2019 19:08

him, not Jim!

Nazanin Zagari-Ratcliffe’s husband in his tent and not eating, having to listen to Boris blithely day that he did nothing wrong was appalling and shameful.

Boris is our Trump.
How utterly embarrassing that the U.K. PM might be him.
Misogynistic liar who talks utter shite.

Then we have Hunt who ruined the NHS during his time as health secretary.

I am so disgusted at both of these being the only options.

Boris Johnson as our Pm 😡🤷‍♀️🙄

BrianniStew · 20/06/2019 19:14

Boris is an absolute POS.

But may actually be the lesser-evil at this point.

So embarrassing to be British this days.

BigChocFrenzy · 20/06/2019 19:19

The last 2 each have to pay Tory HQ £125k for the hustings

Only the wealthy need apply
