Low self-esteem?

Don't 'we' me. Ridiculous.

It was largely a reply to those making 'oh, poor Carrie' noises. She's a chancer, just like him. And stop with the patronising 'we do...'.

Agree @midsomermurderess. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her self esteem. She is far more intelligent and calculating than he is and the type to take very detailed notes about how the last Mrs Johnson outplayed him when it came to cutting him loose to her best advantage.

Boris probably doesn’t know yet that he’ll be resigning, Cummings hasn’t told him yet.

I have an irrational hatred of Sarah Vine. She is almost as witless and Jan Moir

Nothing irrational about hating Sarah Vine, @TatianaBis. Her and her slippery husband are loathsome.

I think Boris will stick around long enough to be the fall guy for the Brexit and Covidn shitshows, then he'll either be persuaded to resign or there'll be a coup.

Most likely Gove will take his place, unless there's some serious manouevering by someone else, but I can't think who else might have the desire, the nous and the backing of enough Tory MPs.

I suppose Hunt could be a possibility.

I hate Vine for the simple reason that she uses the word 'feminazi' to describe a woman who was sexually harassed at work and had the temerity to complain. Pick Mes are the worst.

Excellent and depressing article about Johnson

@missmouse101

He has said he definitely is not.

Well we know he's a lying cunt so I would tend to take that as proof he will.

The Tories really are like a bunch of cartoon villains. I mean, Thatcher at least was competent and reined in the crazies, even if she got thrown under the bus, and so did Major. Cameron let them get out of control.

Not one them wants to be the fall guy who sticks around to face the catastrophic consequences of Brexit plus covid. Boris and his disaster capitalist buddies will make tons of money in the chaos, having successfully dismantled democracy whilst we were distracted by bollox just like this will he won't he resign shit.

Oh aye, I well remember Thatcher "reining in" twats like Keith Joseph and Nicolas Cunt Ridley. I don't know why her apologists keep re-writing this story - probably because they fell for her simplistic crappy hype. Not borne out by the actuality.

SInce they are all as teflon as fuck and have destroyed everything it doesn't make any sense for them to worry about being a "fall guy" - in the post Boris, Post Trump world, being unpopular isn't a bar to power (or more importantly for them) wealth.

This is sadly probably true. No need to disappear when you have dismantled democracy and replaced it with fascism !
