To hope Johnson doesn't resign?

Because if he clings on until the next GE, he'll be completely unelectable and we'll be rid of the Tories.

I'm hoping he digs his heels in just like he always has, even though by rights he should be fucking off with his tail between his legs.

When asked Johnson doesn’t rule out suicide by snap election.

FourTeaFallOut · 06/07/2022 16:59

Oh man, this is an actual car crash. Loving each other as Conservatives?...😬 He's not going back home to a party 🙈

He's a pound shop, Trump, without the fascist armed thugs. Thank God that Britain is not the US and we hate guns. That's one thing we can all agree on here, which is a start. Theresa May has the champers on ice....

Yes yes yes to this.

He won't agree to not dissolve parliament (going to the Queen to do so) if he loses VONC.
He also would not agree to resign if there is a VONC

Very trumpy indeed.

I wish we could see what's happening in the Cabinet .

GET EXIT DONE !

Brilliant

FourTeaFallOut · 06/07/2022 17:03

Could Carrie just engage MN manoeuvres and just not answer the door?

SleeplessInEngland · 06/07/2022 17:04

Stating the obvious, but fuck all the pious resignation letter writers, as if they didn’t know what a piece of shit Johnson was when they signed up. This is all fun and games today but they willingly indulged him enough times before.

As I've said repeatedly I'll happily vote for Labour if they ever present anyone remotely credible.

You've repeatedly said it. Perhaps people don't find your assertion, however many times repeated, in and of itself, remotely credible.

I certainly don't.

Not from someone who will support a Pm who's own cabinet no longer even think he's a credible leader.

An honest question @JaniieJones , are you really serious? Do you still support him, even now?

Oh I'm sure he will resign, at the risk of sounding like Sky news his position is now untenable.

However It has been a nonstop media smear campaign and he has had 2yrs of constant and often unjustified attacks. We should just all be very grateful he was running the show throughout the pandemic!!

And we are really going to trust the polls aren’t we m! Given their disasters lately at elections and refs!!

Show quote history

.
Where do you live? You don't seem to be talking about the UK. The polls got it right for the last three by-elections and the locals. And you can hardly claim those elections as an endorsement of Johnson, can you?

FourTeaFallOut · 06/07/2022 17:08

Apparently Patel's in the hunting party. If the haunted pencil is there he won't have friend in the world

itsgettingweird · 06/07/2022 17:08

Fucking hell.

Patel has joined his welcome home committee.

Shit may have just hit the fan.

Braverman is still suspiciously quiet.

We've not even had a photo op FB update today!

God Tobias Ellwood on the liaison committee. What a tedious drip.

A drip who had done his homework, whose questions Boris couldn't answer,, and who caused Boris to lose his temper. I think that makes Boris the drippiest of drips.

vera99 · 06/07/2022 17:10

Patel has turned..... go Nads GO .....

mbosnz · 06/07/2022 17:10

Like hell I'm grateful, the dumb bastard has dragged the office of PM, and the institution of Parliament through the fucking gutter.

Surely Boris' supporters are telling him that "No." Is a complete sentence?

TooBigForMyBoots · 06/07/2022 17:13

Poor Carrie, I bet she just got the house the way she wanted it and now she'll have to move. All that money on wallpaper!🤦‍♀️

He didn’t have a party he had a cake
perhais you could kindly explain the differences to your children.

He had an illegal social gathering and he accepted that. Perhaps you could look up the difference between a having a cake and attending an illegal gathering.

Well if they’re asking themselves ‘what would Boris do?’ He’s fucked

SleeplessInEngland · 06/07/2022 17:14

Remember, it’s not just Johnson fucking off, it’s Dorries, Rees-Mogg, Braverman…
