What will you do if you wake up next week to the news that Johnson is the new PM?

[newnamethanks]

Celebrate YABU
Not celebrate YANBU

Be embarrassed of my country.

Put a bet on it not lasting more than six months tops.

Roll my eyes and go to work

Ask how long this shit show is going to go on for?

Looks like rishi is well ahead anyway!

i think the media are over egging it

Not give a shit and carry on as normal.

We're heading to winter, civil unrest tends to be in the summer.

I had already thought about this.

I would uninstall all my newspaper apps from my phone and only rely on seeing evening news occasionally.

I follow current affairs a bit obsessively and have done so for years. It's taking up a lot of my time and not really gaining me anything.

Be really glad we left the U.K. 20 years ago

Despair.
But I imagine that will be the same whoever they choose.

@Costacoffeeplease where did you move to? Is it any better?

There's not much we can do if it happens. I won't be happy about it

Watch MN implode!!

Some sort of bitter and derisive laugh.

If the Tories cared ANYTHING for this country they’d call a GE right away.

It's an absolute shit show whoever is in charge so apart from being incredulous at the brass neck of him I'm not sure I'll give that much of a shit.

Boris would be the final nail in the Tory’s coffin, so would say goodbye to the Tory party.

Well he can't be worse than Lizzy, but I would rather have Rishi. Penny M seems OK, but I don't know enough about her or if she would be OK, so I would rather have Rishi. Knows his stuff re finances etc.

Cheer

Think a protest would be in order against the coronation of the clown king. My first one!

Can I ask why? What is it about BJ that you admire?

Aren’t you already? We are now occupying the space Italy vacated.

Because he had a massive mandate from voters, and I don’t believe political manoeuvring by ambitious MPs in his own party should override that. I’d rather it went to a general election for the electorate to decide again.

@Benjispruce4 portugal. It’s not perfect but nothing near the shitshow the U.K. has become

I know someone, who asked one of his clients this as he noted respectfully it seems to be a lady of a certain age, who want him back in. Her explanation is because Boris tries really hard. He knows he’s going to fail. But the trying is very important.

How infantilising. But he is a tall child. I remember reading an article about this by a journalist, who saw him on a speaking circuit and said part of it is a rehearsed persona.
