He’ll surround himself with sycophants, and carry on. And more and more of his utter contempt for humanity will come to light. Meanwhile, he’ll swan around making impenetrable speeches, quaffing brandy and attending dinners with his sycophants and the civil service will quietly get on with running the show. With any luck, by the next GE, he’ll have fucked up so often and so badly no one can possibly vote for anyone who ever even met him, and the Labour Party can pull themselves together and find away through the trans issues that the tory’s are throwing them under a bus over and we can get shot of them. But the best thing that can happen to Bozo for those that don’t want a Tory government is for him to have enough rope to hang himself.

I am sure Tory supporters and Johnson are all performing 10/10 mental gymnastics to explain this one away. Looking forward to being dispointed he has weaseled his way out of it yet again by morning 👍

The labour party in its recent incarnation are unelectable in my opinion they are regressive repressive offensive and getting it all wrong for me im really really disappointed

Steve Barclay???

How can that be?

He was expansively and viscerally denigrating his Leader only 24 hours ago on R4

All that money on the fucking wall paper🙈😂……seriously, you should be allowed to repaint when you take office and get a grace & favour apartment and new bathrooms/kitchens fitted every 10 years but that should definitively be it!!!!

Pritis turn. Pretty please.

Also “Tory is the Anglicisation of the Irish word toiraidh, literally ‘pursued men’ or more figuratively ‘men on the run’. Particularly in 17th century Ireland, it referred to bandits or outlaws, often those driven from their lands by the Plantations that accompanied the Tudor and Stuart conquest of Ireland.”

Considering you think conservatives are conservative, me or anyone explaining to you what a socialist is will be a colossal waste of time.

IF BloJo is "socialist" then my I'm a direct descendant of Napoleon.
Explaining how and why would obviously be a galactic waste of time ...

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 05/07/2022 22:06

Woo hoo! Johnson next! Then a general election please!

Two men who became multi-millionaires from banking feel honour-bound to quit over matters of integrity?

I hope so, but I think we will have a painful wait

Fuck them and them doing this for self serving reasons

Yeah it’s all a show. Not a fan of Boris Johnson at all. But he is Their Man! They all voted him in. They all knew what he was like. In the context of the shit that’s striking the country now - Covid, cost of living, Ukraine, housing, global warming, Brexit etc. this corruption stuff is all small small fry. The Tories would rather have this silly civil war shit than face up to the job of governing.

It's disgusting really. There is so much going on, yet they are making a mockery of the responsibility of running the country. I know most of the issues like war, energy prices, cost of food are not confined to the UK, but I bet most other countries are paying more attention to problem solving than infighting and making a soap opera out of governance.

I don't understand all this jobs swapping, either. How can someone be a Chancellor one day and be Minister of Health shortly after? How is that a sensible approach to managing things? They play musical chairs with job titles. It doesn't inspire confidence.

But it looks like he’s shaping up to throw his hat in the ring for PM…

Bloody better not. Ffs. Can you imagine?

nonstoprenovation · 06/07/2022 07:12

@Booklover3 after the farce that was furlough for company directors I'd better pack my bags if he does become PM because I'm leaving this country.

He's responsible for the utter mess we are in financially, "eat in dine out" bollocks.

Provenceinthesummer · 06/07/2022 07:21

I am quite chuffed we can look forward to some tax cuts now 😊

I doubt he would. UK may have had several female PMs now, but the electorate won't vote for someone who isn't white, however privileged and wealthy he is. We're not there yet.

Provenceinthesummer · 06/07/2022 07:48

That is entirely untrue and a racist thing to say ragz and I am pulling you up on that.

The U.K. absolutely would vote for Rishi, and many thought he would make an excellent PM.

The biggest issue with Rishi is certainly NOT the colour of his skin, but the tax evasion and the huge wealth he sits on - how would he ever understand what it is like to live in poverty? He is extremely rich and privileged and it is that works against him, his business portfolio is too complex, wide and potentially I’m conflict with the role of PM

How dare you post spouting that you speak for the whole country, you certainly don’t speak for me and most people.

I agree with Provence. I think as a charming, good looking, intelligent man who threw a lot of money about during the pandemic and who happens to have dark skin, he's entirely electable.

It will be the huge privilege and tax evasion that prevents it.

Firstly I'm by a billion miles no Tory lover voter or defender. However it's all well and good cheering and doing a merry dance and hoping Boris will be next but who replaces them. Do you think they'll do a superior job and miraculously solve everyone's problems and worries.
We have another Election for what ? The Tories to just get back in.
Even if Labour does get in I doubt anything will change. All parties are pretty much of muchness.

This is sadly an example of the number Johnson has done on the electorate. The notion that everyone is the same as him is, fortunately, simply not true. We have never in living memory had a government as incompetent, corrupt and untrustworthy as this one, and if we get rid of Johnson and his sycophants we don't need to ever again.

Polkadotties · 06/07/2022 08:00

Rishi is a red Tory. He will never be PM due to his views on higher taxation.

ApplesandBunions · 06/07/2022 08:16

Rishi's not getting the big job now. Whether or not one thinks an Asian bloke could feasibly be PM yet, this particular Asian bloke couldn't. Because nobody with a billionaire wife and her complicated tax affairs is going to be capable of winning an election where the backdrop is the worst cost of living crisis in decades. It would be an utter gift to the opposition. So he won't be given the opportunity.

You would think Boris would be unelectable given his track record as a serial liar. Yet he is still prime minister
