But Boris could not do without him

JamieLeeCurtains · 24/05/2020 17:08

Being lectured on fatherhood by Boris Johnson. Is this some kind of Matrix joke?

oldmum22 · 24/05/2020 17:09

Totally outrageous, complete farce and an insult to every single NHS front line key worker. All credibility lost

Cam77 · 24/05/2020 17:10

The contempt he has for the public. He'd rather destroy the lockdown messaging - shitting on the sacrifices made by millions AND endangering the elderly and vulnerable groups rather than sack Cummings.

And he spent, what, all of 30 seconds addressing it? "here you are, Ive turned up for once and said three sentences. now bugger off."

Speechless!

doubleshotespresso · 24/05/2020 17:10

So he's announcing schools reopening a week earlier than expected in the hope the response will be taking over from the real issue here?

bobbieflekman · 24/05/2020 17:10

Must be serious for Boris to be working on a Sunday

OneNewName · 24/05/2020 17:11

How can he use so many words to say so little?

AcornsTrustee · 24/05/2020 17:11

Oh dear Boris you’ve just shot yourself in the foot big time. Fool.

Lynda07 · 24/05/2020 17:11

BlowJob on TV now! I missed the first few minutes. He's talking about schools, phased reopening to start June 1st.

doubleshotespresso · 24/05/2020 17:12

Did he actually just say "if you have symptoms isolate?"

With a straight face?

WTF?

CrazyTimesAreOccurring · 24/05/2020 17:12

The British public are contemptable to the "ruling elite" Angry

Cuddling57 · 24/05/2020 17:12

What a joke.
If DC 'was about to become incapacitated' he should have risked his family's lives by driving 250 miles, not even thinking about if he had to fill up with petrol and use service stations.

Theforest · 24/05/2020 17:13

I can only assume he wants to lose his job. He cant hack it as PM

custodiandiscount · 24/05/2020 17:13

ha ha excellent title

the man is an embarrassment to the nation. useless fucking arsehole. just wanted to share that.

As you were.

Cam77 · 24/05/2020 17:13

THEORY: Johnson knows he will be gone by Christmas - he's totally out of his depth with all of it: Brexit, Coronavirus, PMQs, the whole lot.
He wants out and his health is probably poor too. So "Might as well save guru/cupboard skeleton gatekeeper/best buddy Cummings" before I fuck off.

ssd · 24/05/2020 17:14

My heart actually breaks for parents of young kids here, following lock down rules, struggling on, grandparents missing grandkids, single parents desperate for a break or struggling whilst being ill

Johnson has just made a mockery of everyone.

I can’t watch it, it will make me too angry.

Clemmieandareallybigbunfight · 24/05/2020 17:15

Bojo is utterly morally bankrupt.

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/05/2020 17:15

What a shit show. Looking forward to Kier Starmer tearing apart that argument.

Why is he so weak about DC? He has a Svengali like hold on him obviously but why?.

JamieLeeCurtains · 24/05/2020 17:16

Here we go. Questions.

TiddlestheCat · 24/05/2020 17:16

I'm furious!! And the way BJ tries to minimise it by calling his son a 'toddler'. As for the being a good father shit.... Does a good father also go around exposing others, including children, because he can't be arsed to deal with his own child in the hypothetical situation of him becoming unwell and both him and his wife feeling unwell at the same time. BJ is being blackmailed here. DC obviously has a lot on him.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 24/05/2020 17:16

I'm waiting for the shit storm that will PMQ's this week. Who wants to bet Boris won't want to turn up for that? Starmer's going to crucify him.

JamieLeeCurtains · 24/05/2020 17:17

'Devil take the hindmost'?? He's fucking pissed.

Redolent · 24/05/2020 17:17

Pathetic. But they have a massive majority and know that they’re under no significant pressure.

Dadnotamum72 · 24/05/2020 17:17

There isn't a pmq this week.
