If he was kept away from Russia stuff one assumes it was because it was thought he's deluded enough to think we can do more than call Mr Putin a very naughty boy and tell him we are really really miffed. The idiot that Boris is might have thought we could actually do something other than just accept the Russian government being able to kill with impunity on UK soil.
Not trusted with intelligence information
Is he trusted with anything?
After all, he is not an intelligent man pretending to be a buffoon.
Just listening to the hustings where they’re both pretending they knew where Darlington was before this morning.
Boris has just blustered that within a year we’ll have ‘pitchforked off the incubus of the E.U.’ and then spouted a load of old crap about the sunny post-Brexit uplands and the economic boom it will usher in.
The Tory party members there all absolutely lapped it up, obviously, unencumbered as they are by contact with reality
It’s like a cult! We’re absolutely ****ed!
We’re absolutely ****ed!
We couldn't leave before the last deadline. We won't be able to leave before the new deadline for exactly the same reasons. Change of leader changes nothing with regard to Brexit although the candidates would tell you it does.
What next then?
GE?
Hopefully.
Who'd have thought that there would ever come a.time when hunt was the better option.
lets ignore labours poling! (i put that in the EU thread)
Johnson pleases the tory membership, but not the electorate
http://britainelects.com/2019/07/09/boris-wont-improve-tory-electoral-fortunes-poll-suggests/
Johnson is also pure poison for the tories in Scotland and Johnson as PM puts several points on the yes for independence vote.

Endorsed by petty nationalists north of the border as well! Is there no end to his appeal?
I don't think "Endorsed" is quite the right term there.
There are 13 Tory MPs in Scotland. You have to wonder if having a GE with Boris as leader would lead to them losing some? They have quite a narrow majority already, losing those Scottish MPs could scupper it entirely.
There is an argument to say Labour will have difficulty getting back in power after losing so much of their Scottish support.
Is Scotland like some kind of Afghanistan? Written off as unimportant yet somehow leads to defeat, even for 'superpowers'?
Polling suggests the tories will lose 10 or so of their 13 mps in scotland - no matter who is PM
The problem for the Tory’s in electing Johnson is that the membership are almost exclusively based in the Home Counties, where they love him
As the rest of the country doesn’t even exist to them, they just assume that his appeal is universal.
It really isn’t.
A bumbling, entitled Eton toff is going to be no more electorally appealing in the north, wales or midlands than he is in Scotland.
After the HECK incident nobody is going to want to have the ****er on their premises apart from Tim Thingybob with the pubs.
(Sorry shoulda said, if you don't know the Pie: Very Sweary)
Nail: head
So Darroch has now resigned
Johnson really is a cowardly little toad, isn't he
I forsee a subservient to America, trump bumlicking future for post Brexit Britain under Johnson
So who's the next UK Ambassador to the US?
He certainly divides opinion between those who think he's a lying **** ... and those who have yet to meet him.
How long before he puts his foot in it and ****s it up?
If I were him I'd go on tele saying something like 'I know some of you have misgivings about me but I take this position with the utmost seriousness and respect for the role...
Try and at least start with a clean ish slate.

+1
That would certainly raise my opinion of him.
That would certainly raise my opinion of him.
And Nazanin's too I would imagine.
FTSE 100: 7,568.80 +53.87 (0.72%)
That's only because they have more certainty, outofbreath - not because of any confidence in the brilliance of the dickhead.
That would certainly raise my opinion of him.
Immediate resignation would raise my opinion of him.
they are clueless as a bag of spuds
HIM BRITAN TRUMP! HIM GOOD, GOOD JOB, GOOD MAN, GOOD
BIGGLY!
I still can’t believe this is happening. ****ing fat Wurzel Gummidge lookalike actually in charge.
Britain Trump good thing.
Poundland Trump awesumz thing.
DV one week, PM the next. You really couldn’t make it up.
One positive outcome of all this fiasco...
You can lie through your back teeth at anyone, at any level, at Parliament, under oath and still people vote for you.
That simply means we can all lie now, no holes barred...
Enjoy that.

Woah there! Keep the sexy talk out of this thread. That’s why we have the pm function.

As Skeletor says:
I wake up every single day knowing my life is going to be ruined by a pompous, arrogant, self-serving tit with a ridiculous haircut.
And now so will you, United Kingdom!
I genuinely despair. Brexit was bad enough, the Scottish independence debate is as divisive as ever and now we have this **** in the hot seat. We’ve genuinely lost it as a nation of people who care about our self worth, each other and our country.
It does make me wonder how our long lost Tory supporters (Jambafacts & THM) feel about the whole fiasco.
We lost them during a cull last year, at this point in time it would be interesting to hear their views.
No?
🤷♂️
the Scottish independence debate is as divisive as ever
is it?
I think so, while I’m not a supporter of an independent Scotland beyond an emotional desire I honestly cannot think of being part of a country governed by someone with the intelligence of my penis.
Well, we're the laughing stock of Europe, nay the world. We might as well put a clown in charge.
We’ve genuinely lost it as a nation of people who care about our self worth, each other and our country.
Yep, the country is full of ****s. Guess it always was but it has just become clearer over the last few years. 20 years of getting worse before the idiots have worked out what idiots they have been and the abusers are stopped from getting away with it.

What, like MP's have been doing for generations you mean, that?
To (doubtless badly) quote a chap on radio 4 earlier quoting an Italian newspaper's correspondent to the UK, "you've laughed at us for years, now you've got borisconi"
