Page 9 | Boris Johnson wants a 2nd bash at being PM. We wouldn't. Would we?

Today BJ is stirring up the DUP to oppose Sunak's N Ireland proposals, whatever they may be. Surely there can't be a second chance for the idiot responsible for our current mess? There aren't enough stupid people in our country to let him in again I hope. Will he unseat Sunak?

Most people that come on threads like this do so to bash another person.

I will tell you why people like Boris, he is incomparable in terms of delivering a killer speech, he has an impeccable gift for his ability to communicate across the board. He does appeal to all people because there is something very likeable about him, he has charisma. He is known the world over and is brave, I find him decent and a man that honours his word (brexit) and not the liar people pretend he is, but the opposite actually.

He genuinely loves this country and has optimism energy and courage.

Decent? 😂

ilovesooty · 20/02/2023 14:49

He's known the world over as a self serving liar.

Ignoring politics I think Blair and Obama are far better orators than Johnson.

He's already got his eye on another seat - his old seat of Henley, I believe, or Nadine Dorries's seat which she's vacating is another option.

I'd say his plan is to make money and not spend much time in parliament till the election, when he banks on the Tories losing and Labour not winning a majority (which they're unlikely to, without Scottish seats). Sunak will probably resign after the loss and the Tories will be facing a potentially vulnerable coalition government. At that point, I believe they'd select Johnson if he ran, because they think he's a good campaigner and they'd want to be election ready. Johnson is LOTO and probably performs quite well in this role, then after X amount of time, Starmer and the SNP disagree over something and the SNP withdraws support. Johnson and the Tories propose a confidence vote, the government is narrowly defeated and there's a general election. At which point, hey presto, the Tories get back in and Johnson is once more PM.

I can see it happening.

I can see it happening too, sadly.

His parting shot, remember, was ‘hasta la vista’, not goodbye.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the UK voted for an actual pile of shit.

The UK wouldn't because it stands a chance of doing a better job.

He's broke and needs the clicks probably. Probably has a book launch soon or something.

When will this party realise it needs to fuck off. Totally out of its depth and out of ideas.

Perfexf illustration of why you are always surprised when people like Boris are voters in. You live in a vacuous echo chamber, and have no real hold on the reasons why people feel differently to you. With such rigidity and a closed mind it looks like you will continue to be ‘surprised’ confine to witter on about the ‘stupidity’ of others still largely ignorant to the reasons the majority of people feel like they to.
The ignorance creates internal conflict with your ego - here the vile diatribe inflicted on others that have the sheer audacity to hold an alternative view to you.

Islington Lefie, that's Sunak’s reply at PMQs when he runs out of answers. Sure he copied that from Johnson.

I don't know if representatives of the IFS post on here, but feel free to read this story if you want to be educated

An IFS story here;

March 2010
Alistair Darling admitted tonight that Labour's planned cuts in public spending will be "deeper and tougher" than Margaret Thatcher's in the 1980s, as the country's leading experts on tax and spending warned that Britain faces "two parliaments of pain" to repair the black hole in the state's finances.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies said hefty tax rises and Whitehall spending cuts of 25% were in prospect during the six-year squeeze lasting until 2017 that would follow the chancellor's "treading water" budget...

The IFS used its post-budget analysis to spell out what was in store for Whitehall departments, but said there appeared to be only a modest difference between the plans of the two main parties.
