Either he'll go and be a thorn in the Govt's side and muck it all up for them from the outside, or he'll stay and muck it all up for them from the inside. For May this is a lose/lose situation and I am sure that is not lost on him

Hope so, the Guy is a tool.

Purge him May, Purge him like Corbyn purges anyone who looks at him 'funny'.

Nothing says 'Strong and Stable' like a Purge.

Isn't he a millionaire? everything's a laugh when you've got tons of cash. Get fired? mehh, just go and kick back on holiday somewhere for a few weeks before returning to sit on the back benches and shouting 'mehhhhh' a lot at his former boss.

It may be worth breaking the habit of a lifetime, and watching the Tory party conference. Nothing like a bit of toff back-stabbing for cheap entertainment.

Where can I watch that? Man, we live in interesting times...

BoJo's laughing, makes no odds to him whether he walks or is next PM.

In some ways it might help. Since in the unlikely scenario Brexit goes titsup he could argue that if he had remained in place it would have gone well.

It wouldn't matter if he was penniless - money is only a problem if you need it to live - Bullington Boys don't need money, they've got contacts, the ruling class looks after their own.

If he's anything like me he's probably using it as a useful yardstick to gauge the next Season of HIGNFY's satire/reality balance. It will undoubtedly be the more satirical of the two.

On the contrary, I'm a generous sort, and want to be sure that the glorious car crash that is the Tory party conference provides maximum entertainment. Only a right-wing useful idiot would think otherwise.

He is box office and self serving enough that if he does go he will get far more attention than the likes of Redwood IDS and the other swivel eyed loons.

I think he'd make a great presenter for the return of 'It's a knockout' or that kids thing in the pool where at the end the guy shouts 'away you go'

Any other suggestions? *raised eyebrow*

And anytime Shibboleth pops into a politics thread, always read his posts with this in mind:

I used to love this place... I'd stroll into a debate, drop one of my trademark slightly fascist or intolerant "thread bombs" and watch the liberals running round like headless chucks trying out out-do one another in the mock indignation stakes.

Now the liberals have cottoned on to my little game, and I'm not sure I like it!

It's quite a clever but well used tactic. Undermine the leader, when she doesn't sack you because of the inherent weakness of her position, then up the ante then resign anyway.

Unfortunately Boris has too much history and has been eclipsed by rees mogg, who whilst being a complete jack boot lunatic, is being praised from all sides for courage of his convictions.

It just looks like boris shouting 'look at me!!! look at me!!!' whilst jumping up and down manically

There's something unique about feuds in the Tory party, they're allowed to grow out of control and will invariably result in a constitutional crisis.

This is a party that desperately needs a few terms in opposition in order to detoxify it's own brand.

There is no more useful service for society that he could provide.

He is? I don't see anything courageous about being told what to think, and wishing to impose those beliefs on other people, safe in the knowledge that it will never affect you.

He could be a Gladitor for the return of the ITV hit show 'Gladiators'!

but what would his name be? Wolf, Hunter, Jet and ???

He's just having a massive strop because he's no longer the [s]novely bell end[/s] darling of the blue-rinse loons and racist retired colonel's.

He's been usurped by lord Snooty and he's not taking it well

Isn't he a millionaire

If you mean, does he own a house in London, then yes.

Cameron resigned because he needed to start earning some real dosh and his hobby was taking up too much time. Boris isn't Foreign Secretary because it pays well.

It really astonishes me that people vote for the likes of Johnson, Gove, Duncan-Smith, Rees-Mogg et al. Thoroughly detestable the lot of 'em.

Bovis (for that is what I'm going to call him from now on) just wants to be PM for the sake of it. He wants his name in gold letters on a board in Eton and his painting on the stairs at number 10.

He doesn't give a shit about anything / anyone else.

I was being a little ironic, but plenty of commentators have praised rees mogg for his honesty.

I've missed that, can you post a link to the bit where he told people what they should think?

Thing is, Boris's position in the government is completely untenable. But so is May's. This'd be pretty funny if they weren't supposed to be running the country.

What do you think 'remedial' means? Ah, fuggedaboudit...

Where's this link to where JRM told us what we should think? No? Struggling?

One of us is indeed struggling. If you wish to carry on arguing from a false premise, be my guest.

Just humour me, I'm intrigued by the machinations of such a bitter mind. What did JRM do or say that make you think you were being told what to think?

Yes, I'm definitely going to substantiate something I haven't asserted. I had imagined that the penny would've dropped by now, but you managed to fall below my low expectations. Well done!

Councilof10 I think you need to go back and read what he actually posted!

Mogg is craven, Davis is clueless, Rudd is marginal , Johnson is barking and May is clinging on for dear life....

Of course Johnson is desperate to be PM he's an international joke, just like Farage he wants to be priced right at any cost- and look at the damage he's wrought to the UK!

The old adage about the Tory party being torn apart over Europe, never mentioned them dragging the UK down with them!

The day after Enola's election debacle I shoved a tenner on Phillip Hammond as the next Tory leader and another tenner on it being this year.

Whoever is mentioned as a front runner for the Tory leadership is always doomed by their own ambition. It's always the unlikely one that ends up in the hot seat.

I'm sure the powers that be are finding this circus amusing, but when it comes down to it - and it won't be long before one of these preening tits triggers it - I suspect they'll decide that's it's time a grown up was in charge.

I'm sure they thought that's what they got last time. The disappointment must be palpable

He genuinely seems to be the only senior tory that's capable of doing the job. Obviously that's not seen as a useful qualification when the leadership elections come round, they'll be competing to find the most swivel eyed delusional maniacs and he'll be left in 2nd or 3rd going "But I could actually run the country, and that guy needs his nanny just to run a bath"
