Has Bozo had his chips?

His newspapers are criticising him, he's miffed off the Party and Jennifer Arcuri is about to enter stage left with her glittering memories and a pole dance or two. He's being prepared for a Christmas cull. Who's going to replace him?

Bozos voted for him and even more bozos will support him whatever he does - lying, cheating, philandering, supporting equally inept and dishonest ministers and making us the laughing stock of the world.

KeyboardWorriers · 14/11/2021 23:10

Agreed. Interesting to see all his papers tearing into him now...

I expect there's a lot more to come out and at some point soon it will.

bestcattoyintheworld · 14/11/2021 23:10

We can only hope.

DrHildegardeLanstrom · 14/11/2021 23:11

Sadly he's Teflon.

megletthesecond · 14/11/2021 23:12

Who are they lining up to replace him?

CherryPieface · 14/11/2021 23:18

Gove I think? Which just seems incredible, he’s awful! BUT at least he can string a sentence together which Johnson seems incapable of these days.

beentoldcomputersaysno · 14/11/2021 23:44

I think his days are numbered, but worry who they'll replace him with (Hancock and Williamson weren't exactly replaced by people championing health or education)!

longwayoff · 15/11/2021 07:11

Yes, agree, all likely replacements don't look like improvements do they? Gove? Shudder. Patel? Scream and hide. Sunak? Maybe, but he's pretty much an unknown quantity. It's depressing living with Bozo's Brexit coup.

There was a referendum as I recall!
Boris is toast though...or would be if there was a credible replacement.
Sajid Javid would do.

Please not raab the man creeps me out

DaphneduM · 15/11/2021 07:21

Yes, he'll be replaced as he's such a liability now. Personally I hope that he stays to do as much damage to the Tory party as possible. It doesn't matter to the country who's at the top they're all the same. They govern in their own interests, not that of the country as a whole.

Westfacing · 15/11/2021 07:24

I wish - but don't underestimate the Tories capacity for sleaze and bad headlines.

The General Election is a long way off - gives them time to smear the opposition, with the aid of the very same newspapers that are onto Bozo right now.

Felldownabackdonhole · 15/11/2021 07:34

I do hope so but the thing with Boris is that things that would totally finish off another political just slide of his back like a slippery fish.

DrManhattan · 15/11/2021 07:36

No, he will be fine

whosaidtha · 15/11/2021 07:40

None of the front benchers stand as much of a chance of winning the next election. I don't think the party can afford to get rid of him. Although I hope they do. Keir would do better against Gove or Raab any day.

Volterra · 15/11/2021 07:44

I think he will be going but not with the uncertainty of winter covid hanging over the country. Any disasters with that will be on his head then someone else comes in when more likelihood of things being calmer on covid front.

If that’s not likely then he stays for longer as they will want to brand it as the new Conservative party and put distance between new leader and Johnson eg al for next election, they have a fair bit of time yet.

EnidFrighten · 15/11/2021 07:45

Most of the party have never liked him but let him let because of his broad appeal Confused

I'm sure the knives are prepared for him, but whoever would take over wants to come in on an upward trend, i.e when the worst of covid is over. First on the agenda will be selling off the NHS, I should think.

MyOtherProfile · 15/11/2021 07:46

I'm hoping for Gove or Patel. They're both really unpopular and would hopefully lose the next election. There's still a good chance of the country voting Tory with Johnson in position.

Cornettoninja · 15/11/2021 08:06

It bothers me that I suspect this is what he wants in a less than ideal way. I’ve read speculation that he didn’t want to carry on as PM and would have stepped down at some point over the next year or so (perhaps citing health issues or a desire to spend time with his younger children - ha!).

Even he can’t spin the failings of his cabinet into something we can all just gloss over.

longwayoff · 15/11/2021 08:37

The sell off the NHS is going well, running down services, staff shortages with a huge winter crisis in the offing, someone's hidden all the GPs, ambulances queuing at hospitals etc. Oh dear, no solution apart from to hive off most of the money generators to the private sector. We'll wake up one day and ask 'where did it go? Nobody told us this would happen'. And, somehow, it will be Jeremy Corbyn's fault.
