Boris Watch - Thread 1

[chomalungma]

Well, it's been done for Trump since he got elected.
No doubt some people will complain it's on AIBU - but it's a place with traffic.

So let's use this to keep an eye on the changes under Boris.

First Thing:

Boris introduces clause in the withdrawal agreement so the UK must leave with WTO rules if there is no trade agreement with the EU by the end of 2020

Feel free to comment and add things that you notice changing. The Trump threads are at 97 now.

Do we expect the PM to self-isolate, in the wake of Nadine Dorries?

Would we even notice?

Would we even notice?

Let's see what a spokesman has to say.

No one in their right mind would want to come into contact with Nadine Dorries at the best of times.

Or with Boris Johnson, to be fair

BJ looks relatively healthy (for him) during the Budget. Can't hear much coughing and spluttering, someone must have sent out for the Strepsils earlier.

mockers and june .

If That Man tells me one more time to wash my hands and be plucky, I simply can't be responsible for my actions. Wanker.

Is he hiding in the fridge again?

It's the w/e he and Carrie are probably in John Lewis looking at prams... although he must have done that many times before.

Fiddling while Rome burns?

Anyone spotted him? It's like Where's Fucking Wally.

Where is Boris ? Come in Boris address your nation you know the ones who voted you in.

Boris is no doubt finishing a fine lunchtime bottle of claret while Dominic Cummings and his henchmen finetune the weasel words of his speech. It comes to something when businesses put the health of their employees above profit while govt fiddles while Rome burns.

He's emerged. He didnt say very much, and what he did say clearly put the onus on business, big and small, to take the necessary steps to slow the spread.

And he's still fucking wifflewaffling on.

This has been an unbelievable couple of months since the last election.

I don't really know what to say anymore. This crisis and his response will reveal the true nature of the UK economy and the fragility of it.
