Today he stumbled through a talk addressing business men and talked at length about Peppa Pig World

There is obviously a lot of briefing against him at the minute. What's the alternative? Liz Truss ShockHmm

amsadandconfused · 22/11/2021 22:20

It was excruciating…he is a complete mess!

DroopyClematis · 22/11/2021 22:21

I think his clock's ticking.

RuleWithAWoodenFoot · 22/11/2021 22:22

Dead Ringers do Liz Truss really well. I'll never be able to take her seriously.

SafeStreetsInPeppaPigWorld · 22/11/2021 22:22

He's a buffoon, an odious fool.

At any of the bookies taking bets on next PM yet ?
I missed my chance to have a flutter on Trump and a man still regretting it.
The Socail Care bill just passed with a majority of 26 votes.

I think Cameron and Osborne were much worse with what they did to the benefits system and the demonising of poor people. Don't really know what to think of Boris Johnson's speech, it was very strange with how it was presented, maybe some sort of coded message? He's been looking quite well recently, but a few months ago looked terrible, like he did when he had covid. I wondered if he was being blackmailed or similar.

Oops sorry about my typos above. My money is on Sunak.

Sunak or Hunt if it were to happen currently. Truss is for some reason popular with the party, but polls badly with the public so they won't choose her. I also suspect Gove would put his name in the hat, but again he does not poll well with the public so that would work against him.
user1471443411 · 22/11/2021 22:24

That social care bill is terrible. I like Sunak best out of the lot of them.

minou123 · 22/11/2021 22:26

I can't with Liz Truss. The whole "Cheese" speech did it for me.
She is cross because "we import 9/10ths of our pears"

(However, if I feel like I've had a bad day at work, I watch this and think "at least I'm not Liz Truss")

He has no check on his behaviour whatsoever. I think his previous wife might once have had some influence - maybe he misses her despite his treatment of her. He certainly lacks insight.

I hope he goes asap but there is no one in what is now effectively the Brexit party who would get my vote.

megletthesecond · 22/11/2021 22:30

He wore a shirt and jacket to PPW. Weirdo.
He's as bad as Rees-Mogg, just with messy hair.

Jennalong · 22/11/2021 22:30

We had Meghan acting odd thanks to Ellen De wots her name , so perhaps Boris was miked up and doing her bidding as well !

Tabitha005 · 22/11/2021 22:31

@WhatHoMarjorie

He looked and sounded like someone who'd just rolled into work after a weekend long bender.
I'd make more sense than that even I'd had ketamine for breakfast, lunch AND dinner.
lightisnotwhite · 22/11/2021 22:31

Everything ends eventually. I’m always interested in the one that comes after. It’s never the one I expect.

thenightsky · 22/11/2021 22:32

@Libertaire

Johnson will remain Tory leader and PM until the moment the majority of Tory MPs decide he can’t win them the next election. Then they will knife him, because that’s what they do to leaders who become liabilities and ruthless pragmatism is what separates them from Labour.
absolutely this ^^

From your mouth to God’s ears!

TokyoSushi · 22/11/2021 22:33

I think it is the beginning of the end, but it's going to be a very long and painful road until we reach our destination. I think he very much likes the idea of being 'the boss of the UK,' but quite frankly he can't be arsed with doing any of the work or taking any of the responsibility that comes with it.

I know!

When you give Michael Spicer enough material for the next 4 years from one speech, you know its going wrong

MrsMadderRose · 22/11/2021 22:38

Just been reading about him reportedly saying that about Carrie, then backing down from suing. Shock that is so bad!

I hadn’t expected him to change his ways so I wasn’t thinking he’d have transformed into world’s best husband, but still bloody hell.

TheWestIsTheBest · 22/11/2021 22:40

I thought he looked like he is back on the charlie again.

SerenTarot · 22/11/2021 22:41

He's been looking and sounding unwell for weeks.

Thewiseoneincognito · 22/11/2021 22:41

As someone has said, be carful who you vote for… You elect a clown you get a circus.

Only we got Pennywise, Brexit and became the Isle of Covid.
