Boris at the Covid enquiry

Now let me state from the start I am no fan of the man.

Quite shocked by how unwell he looked though. Far more dishevelled. Jowly, pale. Has aged about 25 years since he stopped being PM.

I don’t care how he looks to be honest. Unless he’s put in prison for what he did to this country during Covid he has got very lucky.

PandoraSocks · 21/10/2025 13:13

I thought the same. He looks really blotchy and bloated.

ImSoJulia · 21/10/2025 13:16

He looks like shit. Too much booze and not enough exercise I assume. Horrible lazy man.

<glug><sniff>
Give the arsehole his full name, not the oh-so-quirky friendly first name.

AKnitter · 21/10/2025 13:18

He’s got a 5 month old, as well as 3 other small children. He doesn’t look particularly sparkling in the picture and that was posted last May.

His choice. I wonder if that was what he expected when he got together with their mother.

LavenderBlue19 · 21/10/2025 13:22

I'm just so glad he's not Prime Minister anymore.

TheGoddessAthena · 21/10/2025 13:30

I am also glad that he is not PM any more, although the decisions he took about schools in Covid were mild compared with what we went through in Scotland.

I didn't realise Carrie had had another child. 4 children aged 5 and under is a lot, and google tells me Boris is 61. Not ancient, but I'm a decade younger and don't fancy having 4 small kids around all the time either.

Prison!!! He and his team certainly made mistakes - but I am glad it was him and not this current shower of s**t that call themselves the government looking out for us at that time.
I am sure if he had not been betrayed by his party ‘grandees’ we would not be in the mess we are in now.

Coffeeishot · 21/10/2025 13:34

They have 4 children ? I didn't know that. I can't imagine him being hands on to be fair but 4 children in your 60s will put 25 years on him ! Saying that he always looks rough and dishevelled his wife probably hasn't the time to get him dressed to go out.

BitOutOfPractice · 21/10/2025 13:34

Can he actually say anything without smirking? Even just looking at him makes me furious.

Prison is too good for him.

AKnitter · 21/10/2025 13:38

I think he dishevels his hair on purpose, to disguise his male pattern baldness. Same idea as Trump but done in a completely different way.

edit: autocorrect gave me dishevels as the correct spelling. I think that’s probably correct in the US, but dishevells looks wrong.

He is a pompous oaf !

@Coffeeishot she already has four children to look after 😂

Oh😀 yes she has.

It is on the news now and it does look like he is trying to cover up some baldness.

shellyleppard · 21/10/2025 13:48

@Coffeeishot aren't they all 😂😂😂

GarlicPound · 21/10/2025 13:50

Looked at the stills, hoping to find he looks like he's got Covid 😂 Nah, sadly, he looks his usual self with an extra chin. Still doing his supposedly cheeky little boy smirk all over the place.

He's very devoted to begetting, isn't he. Mini Borises running around everywhere.

He has at least 9 children. Four by Marina Wheeler plus another just before he got together with Carrie. That's the ones he admits to

That's the problem when people make their hair into their personality.

Probably because he’s a 60-something year old man who’s living in a house where they’ve had four kids in less than five years. He’s not really the right age for his sleep being permanently interrupted and the general demands of four small kids (even if they do have hired help, which I’m sure that they do).

Plus- if rumours are to be believed- he’s got a bit of a drink and gak problem, which will make one look a bit blotchy and tired.

Nadine Dorries has entered the chat!

It's mainly because of him we are in such a mess - the man who 'got Brexit done', which is a huge act of self-sabotage for our nation, allowed/encouraged/facilitated his MP's all getting themselves and their mates to fleece the country with PPE that left medical staff exposed, lied to the Queen, ignored allegations of sexual abuse against his colleagues, ditched his service detail to party with the Russians....

What was needed at the time of the pandemic was a details-orientated, serious Government, and instead we got the shower of shit that were so awful it led to the eventual, probably defeat of the Tories forever (which might have been cause for celebration in the past, except now it helps to usher in an even worse group of racists and fat-cats in Reform)

lurchersforever · 21/10/2025 14:03

He's looked like a bag of shit for years and that's how he looks today. One thing I cannot stand is him saying 'kids' all the time - sounds so flippant and disrespectful.

TeaRoseTallulah · 21/10/2025 14:09

He's just put on lots of weight, looks really bloated.

Do posters seriously think he has much to do with any of his kids? I doubt he sees them in the week, possibly at the weekends.

shellyleppard · 21/10/2025 16:53

@GarlicPound he's definitely losing his hair though....

I agree i think he should have said children,but he probably thinks he is being relatable.

Planck · 21/10/2025 17:20

It's odd- he's been on the pen and pics of him on his wife's instagram looked good- he's lost a lot of weight and looked much healthier. Now it looks like he has put it on again very quickly.
