I mean, really?

I actually thought the live announcement tonight was a spoof until 5 minutes through...

The man is his own characature

I get he's a new dad to 2 little ones, but he's also the prime minister - can he not show the British public at least a little respect?

🤷

Please don't sully such a great song with that oaf.

I can’t abide that song!

It's congruent with his arrogant, careless attitude.

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 13/12/2021 10:53

It's ALL carefully marketed...

The disorganisation, the rueful smiles - I've just crawled out of a skip look...

His 'look' is a massive dead cat...

Deflecting massively from all the lies /subterfuge....

He's really not nice...

People who came across him years ago, were frightened of what may happen to them down dark alleys if they crossed him.

I did hear a rumour about a journalist being beaten up. Does anyone know if that story is true?

How many children does he have now? Is it 7 (plus an undeclared one)?

@sst1234

There is a theme emerging. It seems that people with dodgy hairdos are usually crap leaders. The cap fits both Boris Johnson and Angela Rayner. And they absolutely should wear it, if only to hide their awful hair.
Angela Rayner has fabulous hair, but it looks much better straight or just slightly wavy. The big curls are a bit naff imo and don't suit her.

Loveable rogue my arse. Have you seen him when the mask slips? The look of contempt and nastiness. Nasty nasty liar

I think it's 8.

He had 4 with his ex-wife, 2 with Carrie and one extramarital one while he was mayor of London. But there is supposedly an 8th, all details of which are allegedly protected by a super-injunction obtained by the child's mother.

I cannot abide the man. I do wish people would stop referring to him as "Boris" - especially the media, who in the same sentence will call the leader of the opposition 'Starmer' - he's not your mate and it's not even the name he goes by To his mates.

In my job (teacher and then headteacher), I had to look tidy and well-groomed and it annoys me massively that he cultivates the Gummidge look - it doesn't reflect well on him, the office of PM or the nation.

HopefulHetty · 13/12/2021 14:33

He is an embarrassment to his office.

I always feel like sending him a jar of Brylcreem!

I can't decide if it's more or less egregious that it's an act he chooses to put on. But it's a tremendously successful act, I have to admit.

I can't think of any other world leader who has managed to inveigle their way into a country's highest office while deliberately cultivating the persona of a clown.

No offence to clowns, true clowning is an art.

kitty1993 · 13/12/2021 15:23

The more stupid he looks the less intelligent we expect him to be

Omg Angela Rayner's hair is gorgeous!

My mum reckons if Margaret Beckett had had better hair she would have been PM/ opposition leader. That, and just being inconveniently female.

Yes it is gorgeous I assumed the poster who said her hair was horrible was trolling so didn't bother commenting about it
