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.

So what now? It’s not like he’s going to magically solve Brexit. His majority is wafer thin even assuming he can keep the DUP on side. And he’s a lying, lazy, entitled, showboating man-child who is completely unfit to hold any kind of public office.

Gonna start loving Gauke, Duncan and al soon! Which is very weird. The more the merrier to resign.

tobee · 23/07/2019 12:45

Et al. Not and al. Hmm

The plan is 'deliver, unite and defeat?'

what/ who is he planning on defeating - doesn't sound like a good way to unite people?
Or is he uniting us all in the utter defeat and destruction that brexit will bring?

Cold glass of water in the shade

My thought of the day: what is the emotion after exasperation? Also whats the feeling beyond desperation?

In unrelated news LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR THIS HAPPENING! LA LA LA AND NOW I CAN'T SEE THIS HAPPENING! Everything is fine!

“Beware those men, the jokers and the tricksters and the clowns. They will laugh us into Hell.” Years and years

Says it all, imo

The plan is 'deliver, unite and defeat?'

He’s welcome to deliver a letter revoking Article 50 thereby defeating a no deal Brexit. Which might just be enough to keep the Union united

Listening to BBC5L. They are having a little difficulty getting 'balance' in their vox pops, where all the respondents want to punch/kill/scream in the face of BJ. 'But he's popular,' they reply.

Oh dear.

tobee · 23/07/2019 13:02

Took a while for people to feel like that about May Mockers

Jux · 23/07/2019 13:05

It would be funny if it were happening somewhere else.

NoWordForFluffy · 23/07/2019 13:11

Well, the nation is almost-unanimously united in its hatred of Boris, so you can tick united off the list.

The80sweregreat · 23/07/2019 13:12

92 thousand people do not hate Boris !
They are among us .

CrunchyCarrot · 23/07/2019 13:14

#NotMyPM is trending on Twitter. Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 23/07/2019 13:17

I did say almost all of us hate him. 90-odd thousand is negligible! Shame their voices have more weight than ours.

Songsofexperience · 23/07/2019 13:20

Boris annoints himself "the dude"... dude is an Americanism. We're being colonised already!

Songsofexperience · 23/07/2019 13:22

And another little Trumpian touch: the extra long tie.

QuckTheDuck · 23/07/2019 13:22

So if we are taking years and years as a road map, what are the key points and timelines please?

I heard on r2 that the dup tweeted they are looking forward to working with him. So they are on side it seems.

Has Hammond done it officially yet? Or his staying to squash in with Theresa at pmq tomorrow?
