Next week we will have a new PM. He will be called Boris Johnson unless something very odd has happened.

His first 72 hours will be 'interesting' especially if today's events are anything to go by.

His Cabinet is sure to be a horror show. It was noticable who abstained today - they don't think they will be in a Johnson Cabinet and clearly don't want to be.

To move forward Johnson must be able to survive a rebellion and a Queen's speech before now and 31st October.

And be able to unit his party in order to find a way forward.

And whilst parliament has voted to block proroguing parliament, it could still be dissolved if there is a vote of no confidence.

And what happens if Johnson loses a vote? Will he manage to become PM? Will there be a GE.

All the signs are that next week is going to be a hell of a ride.

Enjoy your weekend.

See my dad said that he thought johnson would stop being class clown and would step up to the position (my words not his)

But thats almost worse...means he spent years titting about like it was some massive game

In the words of Hugh Grant (who'd frankly be a better PM)
'Fuckity, Fuckity Fuck!'

67% to Johnson I think.

Johnson does better speeches saying nothing than May...

Did he look insufferably smug?

Yes

But to be fair it must be incredibly hard to have a poker face

I can't watch. Him clapping like a seal was enough for me.

tobee · 23/07/2019 12:09

Definitely made the right decision reading on here!

Now I've got to phone my life long socialist, Tony Benn loving, octogenarian mother to wish her happy birthday! Some present!

tobee · 23/07/2019 12:10

67% closer than I thought!

Lonelycrab · 23/07/2019 12:10

Pompous fat sack of shit.

DarlingNikita · 23/07/2019 12:10

flouncy, yes, fair point Grin

tobee · 23/07/2019 12:11

Lonely fair point also!

CrunchyCarrot · 23/07/2019 12:11

Did he just say 'Dude' ??

When Brexit goes tits up, we have 93,000 Tories to blame. Not that they will care - they will have bought their EU passports and cleared off.

Now, let's see who resigns and how quickly.

Fucksake. Utter twatmonkey.

He is the last vestige of the busted-flush of the patriarchy and the past. Don't lose heart anyone.

He literally said nothing.

He hasn't given his plan yet.

Thank you onalong. That feels true to me.

tobee · 23/07/2019 12:14

Ds just come in to say Johnson jokes are very bad!

HesterThrale · 23/07/2019 12:15

So there are 92,153 people in this country who think it's fine to have a incompetent, lazy, liar and cheat for Prime Minister.

These people could be everywhere. It could be the man in the Sainsbury's till queue, the woman in the GP waiting room or the man who manages your bank.

They're everywhere, and I just don't understand them.

Will we ever get a PM again who has dignity, wisdom, honour, integrity and compassion for all?
