So Boris Johnson is the new PM.

[AngeloMysterioso]

Aaaaaaaaand we’re fucked.

I hate hearing people swear , but I can read it and smile on mumsnet as some posters are funny! I suppose I'm offended in real life but ok reading it!

As for the view from abroad, we are a laughing stock, except perhaps for right wing US Republicans.

Very few Americans know who BoJo is. The news is full of "Who is Boris Johnson?" stories actually.

Yes.... and a national/international laughing stock.

Not to mention all the racist 💩 who will feel more justified in their anti migrant/anti poor/anti anyone who's not white and middle class rhetoric than ever.

This isn't just about the PM, this is about us turning into a 2nd America and look what an intolerant 💩 show they're turning into.

We must be the laughing stock of everywhere surely?
Embarrassing.

I think people believe the rest of the world care more about the little uk than they really do.

Honestly.

We now have a PM who uttered the famous words. "Fuck Business"
That's even more embarrassing

I think people believe the rest of the world care more about the little uk than they really do.

This.

We really aren't as important or powerful as many seem to think.

Masterstroke by Johnson appointing Sajid Javid to look after the nation's finances.

Javid was a very high earning Director in Deutche Bank - one of the very people who ran us onto the rocks in the financial crisis.

He quit in 2009 with the bank totally screwed (it still is today). Presumably he chose a career in politics on the basis that:

1 You don't have to be any good at anything to succeed, and
2 You can screw up even more lives in politics than you can running a bank

Hammond was a boring bastard - but he understood finance more than Javid ever did or ever will.

I like Jon Snows white suit tonight.

Yes Javid and Liz Truss are the perfect pair to implement the famous Johnson "Fuck Business" policy that strangely was not mentioned in the speech today......

I rather have Jon Snow running the country tbh.

This is what happens when people believe social media instead of solid news channels.

The Conservatives have proved themselves hooked on the political equivalent of cheap junk food. Piled high, cheap and full of sugared lies.

Where are the grown ups in the room?

Give the man a chance to prove himself before projecting all your judgemental bull crap.

He is 55 and has been in the public eye for over 20 years. There is plenty to judge.

This is rather interesting, I never knew this was such homogeneous place.

I had a look at the daily mail for the comments section ., it wasn't all compliments about our new PM.

Hammond was a boring bastard

I have so much fucking respect for him and the position he’s taken on this.

Man, this is like the opposite of Fantasy Cabinet ffs.

Yes to Jon Snow for pm 👏🏻

Thirded Jon Snow for pm.

Wow youre all pathetic

He is 55 and has been in the public eye for over 20 years. There is plenty to judge

Agree - he has elbowed his way to the top job, and seeks the public as his audience for every performance he makes.
No apologies if we choose to decide if we will applaud or boo hiss his latest jolly jape.
He is a class one baw bag, racist, misogynist, philanderer and self serving arse.
A fair judgement.

Pathetic - no.

Concerned - yes.

What I really like the best though is people like Dominic Raab and Steve Baker saying that we need to get Brexit done and that all MP's should support Johnson to do that.

That would be the same Raab who finalised the 'Deal' and resigned the next day because he couldn't support it.....

Oh and the same Steve Baker who with Reece-Smug in the ERG opposed the last PM at every turn.

The double standards of these 'power hungry tossers' is amazing.....

Nope you are just all pathetic.

Graphista:
No, I'm not independently wealthy, but I'm comfortable and I do know where our imports are from and the EU is not a major player although they would like to think so. I have worked and lived in the Americas, Canada, Africa, the Middle East, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong,Taiwan and of course Europe.I have had other associations with other countries and continents and have found that trading partners are everywhere. For over 50 years we have been troubled by Europe, initially with De Gaulle and the present useless collection. They are a collection of no-hopers with egos bigger than their capabilities.
