Nads has just arrived at Downing Street apparently. Still full of S…upport.
Or to deck the cabinet ministers encouraging BJ to go…
He must have been proud when she backed Boris last time.
I haven't seen Peter in years now so what he thinks of Boris I don't know. But he's a former Tory council leader himself so I expect he probably was proud.

She's still expecting to film that Tik Tok duet she planned with Boris last week.
So I guess haf the cabinet are standing around BJ supporting him and the other half are currently breaking up the table and chairs to build a funeral pyre and asking if anyone has some matches...
Boris has snuck back in to No 10 via the back door...
Chewy gets all the big calls right.
Do not feed the troll.
I am so enjoying this, quite glad the 1922 haven't changed the rules, he is going but the longer this goes on the more degrading it is for Johnson and I love that.
Do not feed the troll.
Which neatly describes having Johnson as PM.
Whatever, dude.
Better get voted out by the Public then being back stabbed by a bunch of push overs.
I'm hoping this is the last series of the Tory show as it's just not believable anymore, none of the actors are convincing and the plot just keeps getting sillier.
Hopefully they'll build a wicker man in the middle of Westminster in the shape of Margaret Thatcher. Will makes tonights telly a bit more exciting...
If he called a GE, who would go out and campaign for him,? The vast majority of Tory MP's would go to ground / go on holiday / find some white goods to hide in.
Nads is just there so they can reenact the titanic prow scene on the steps of no.10

Any opposition supporters will say that regardless.
Also I want to know if SNP supporters will prefer to face Boris or Starmer? LOL!
Not even obvious troll can spoil our fun today.
Keep them coming chewy.
Apparently Gove has stuck the knife in (again) and called for him to go according to the BBC ticker.
Is it even worth commenting that gove will stick the knife in.
That little weasel would sell his children into slavery if he thought it would get him more power
Anyone know what the song is playing over the loudspeakers near Downing st?
If a GE is called now Boris will still survive, that’s because the alternative (opposition) is unthinkable
Chewkw - To you maybe, but I can definitely think of an opposition govt, and it would be heaven compared to this shower.
Based on the Tories losing a 24k majority in Devon last week, do you really think they'd win a GE right now?!

LOL! The oppositions are getting all very excited at the prospect of seeing Power is getting closer and within their reach.

That will depend on who has bigger basketballs. IMO, yes they will rally together whether they like it or not if there is a GE. To me those push overs are not worth having.

This will all be very cathartic. Imagine even as a tory tosspot, having had to be vaguely pleasant to Dorres because she was a fellow minister must have been very hard to swallow. Now, with the shackles off and the boss getting gutted she walks into the party and finally you can tell her what you really think of her.
I'm hoping he goes full 'scorched earth' and calls a GE, which might as well be handing SKS the keys to No.10 at this point.
When all this is over, nobody will be able to call Thatcher's resignation 'dramatic,' Cameron's departure humiliating and May's will be looked back on as dignified and gracious.
Johnson's smashed it, he really has.
Just realised that Dominic Raab will likely be acting PM tomorrow...
Thats a comforting thought :-/

Whereas you get priapic at the mere mention of The blond buffoon
Any opposition supporters will say that regardless.
Have you heard the word 'hypocrite'?

I'm pretty you need a 2/3s majority in the House of Commons for that. Although it would be fun watching the opposition voting with the government and the government voting against itself!

It was "bye-bye Boris, Boris, bye-bye" this morning live on ITV. Susanna Reid was even dancing to it.

If Macron can stay in "power" so can Boris.
Just realised that Dominic Raab will likely be acting PM tomorrow…

Don't worry about it, a staffer will give him his wooden blocks and peg and hammer set, he won't be a bother to anyone
If Macron can stay in “power” so can Boris.
You do understand that we have a totally different structure of government in the uk compared to France?
Just realised that Dominic Raab will likely be acting PM tomorrow…
Not unless he resigns too - which someone can arrange for him if he can't work out how to do it himself
🙂

No they repealed the fixed term parliament act in March. All it needs is for Johnson to go to the Queen and ask for parliament to be dissolved. Unfortunately he appears to have ruled it out, but given his form that doesn't mean he won't.
Just realised that Dominic Raab will likely be acting PM tomorrow…
More likely that Johnson will stay in place while they elect a new leader.
‘Angela Rayner for PM?
She’d do a better job than Boris. Hell I’d do a better job than Boris and I’m the most incompetent person I know.
You do understand that we have a totally different structure of government in the uk compared to France?
Yes, but Macron doesn't look pleasing at the moment so why doesn't he resign?
She’d do a better job than Boris. Hell I’d do a better job than Boris and I’m the most incompetent person I know.
LOL!
I will vote for you but so long as power doesn't get to you first.
Well he's threatened a GE this afternoon. Lets see shall we?
Macron was elected president by the country, not his members of Parliament.
Boris was chosen as pm because he leads the party with the biggest number of mp's. We didn't vote for him directly and he is only in post due to the decision of the Conservative party.
Well he’s threatened a GE this afternoon. Lets see shall we?
He ruled it out at the end of the committee meeting.
Not that either of those statements mean anything, of course.
The oppositions are getting all very excited at the prospect of seeing Power is getting closer and within their reach.
I genuinely don't think they want it.
Tha analysts are saying that he won't resign come what may, because he wants the theatre of being dragged out so he can state that he was prevented from doing his job, not that he resign from doing his job.
Typical Johnson, all about him and his lurid reputation.
Just realised that Dominic Raab will likely be acting PM tomorrow…
Seems appropriate given that's what Boris has done since he started.
Unlikely until around this time next week, I'd say.
Why in the utter **** is there a discussion about Macron on this thread?
Stop feeding the troll
I genuinely don’t think they want it.
In politics? They ALL want power! They ALL believe their own hype. They ALL believe they are above others. Politicians don't desire power? Crikey the world has gone silly billy ...
Why in the utter **** is there a discussion about Macron on this thread?
Slight diversion there, my bad.
Back to BoJo ...
Sir Graham Brady in No.10 to see BoJo now
Oh hold on, Graham Brady's just rocked up to strongly offer him a chance to resign before being ungraciously fired.
Chris Bryant has just made the point that he constantly keeps referring to ‘HIS’ mandate as if he were an elected president, not a representative of an elected party.
He honestly seems to think he is ‘World King’
God only knows what the mad bastard will do next
I’m sticking a tenner on him doing this…
He’s going to do it, isn’t he?
Just because he still can
Nooooooo, don't let the public have a say in it for gods sake, you know where that ends 😉
If Boris is out, assuming the oppositions' wish comes true, I think we might return to "normal" and perhaps get "cheaper" fuel if there is no more stomach to support Ukraine ... Yes?
She’d do a better job than Boris. Hell I’d do a better job than Boris and I’m the most incompetent person I know.
Hell Clement Attlee would do a better job than Boris and he's been dead for years.
I was lucky enough to take some time out to watch the committee meeting this aft.
It was a blood bath, johnson got utterly destroyed.
I'll be shocked if he isn't gone by tomorrow morning.
I've put some bubbly in the fridge just in case.
God only knows what the mad bastard will do next
He'll go full Kim Jon-un. He'll be standing in front of Downing Street tomorrow in military regalia and medals stating that he's now the Commander-in-Chief and declaring martial law.
Got to say that is well played by Iceland foods
Anyone know what the song is playing over the loudspeakers near Downing st?
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Being sung as a duet with BoJo doing the “I will survive”
I've got my 'Zombie Maggot' filter on. I can see he's posting, but it just scrambles the words to an incontinent line of characters. Am I missing anything?
I suppose the real issue I see is this;
The time for all these gits to grow a conscience was a month ago when a VOC was called, what's really changed since? A few more instances of sleaze and brushed under the carpet breaches of parliamentary code, none of it really shocking anymore. I think the most telling thing is that they're realising a cabinet post now comes with the implicit expectation that a minister will lie and obfuscate on behalf of dear leader, with no guarantees that he won't subsequently contradict or hang them out to dry for it...
"Operation save Big Dog" has failed, not because the public are baying for the PM's blood, but because he has demonstrated that he will sacrifice his most staunch supporters for another ten minutes in power...
For me all Tory MPs are tarred with the same brush of utter self-interest before their duty as parliamentarians, and I think that perspective may stick for a while, possibly till the next GE(?) we'll see. But they've certainly given the opposition a pretty big stick to beat them with for a wee while yet...
I’ll be shocked if he isnt gone by tomorrow morning.
Wanna bet on Tesco's new Swedish coffee? (only cost £5)
God only knows what the mad bastard will do next
Worst case scenario he calls for a GE .... see who got bigger cricket balls.

Oppositions are getting all excited about the prospect of Boris leaving.
Why would he resign? It's not I. His nature. It's not what the bullingdon club expects. Bluff and bluster. Do a Churchill and stick it out. Judging by the general public who think he's doing his best the.n even a GE would result in more years of his dross
I’ve put some bubbly in the fridge just in case.
Bloody champagne socialists!
They are gathered *in different parts of the building*
I assume only the loyalists get Wine and cheese
This is great entertainment.
It's a bit of an echo chamber in here, but I dunno about the GE thing. He's definitely pushing it, but I still think a lot of people see him as a loveable rogue who got brexit done, navigated covid, and can't get on with the job because he's embroiled in loads of stuff that hardly anyone cares about. Partygate: bad Beergate: irrelevant. And anyway, what's the alternative? The Labour party? No chance. So who in his own party?
Am I missing anything?
nothing you haven't seen a hundred times before.

How can you be sure it's working?

I think the tories are poised to 'take him for a walk in the moonlight' themselves, if there's one thing we can give them credit for, it's that they don't mess about when it comes to showing people the door when they fall out of favour within the party.
In politics? They ALL want power! They ALL believe their own hype. They ALL believe they are above others. Politicians don’t desire power? Crikey the world has gone silly billy …
Well, I haven’t met all politicians, but I’ve met some ministers and some back benchers, and some are definitely in it for their own glory. But some really do seem to want to make a positive difference to people’s lives and the country we live in. You don’t hear as much about them because they aren’t hogging the limelight and doing corrupt and borderline illegal things. They exist though - most select committee types I’ve met have been in that second category.
Can't wait for the film
Who'll be boris?
I hope he has to be sedated and removed on a stretcher.......
......but not just yet.
The longer he stays, the better for Labour.
Plus, I'm rather enjoying this. 🙃
Resignation ticker up to 38 now.
“20,20,24 hours to go, I want Bor-is sedated”
... it’s that they don’t mess about when it comes to showing people the door when they fall out of favour within the party.
Not when the public is behind Boris. The only way to find out is GE. Do they have the footballs to take that risk?
Plus, I’m rather enjoying this. 🙃
Rolling news at the moment is the best telly I’ve watched in years. It’s like a live feed from some weird medieval court. I’m just hoping it ends with a Game of Thrones style execution
Can’t wait for the film
Who’ll be boris?
Danny Devito
I hope he has to be sedated and removed on a stretcher…….
I don't, I hope they have to prise his fingers off the No. 10 door frame, drag him down the road and dump him in the street on the public side of the security fence.
I am also rather enjoying this.
This is great entertainment.
I'm concerned I'm enjoying this slow and lingering end of Boris, like enjoying a bullfight
