Major Disaster and General Incompetence would both fit.
Having seen Harri on bbc news channel and sky news several times in past few weeks let's see if he can actually implement what he's been advocating.
I'll give him 6 months max.
I heard Guto Hari doing the tv and radio rounds after Johnson’s non apology on Monday being obsequiously supportive. I did wonder why, I now realise it was perhaps a pre-emptive audition?
So Steve Barclay is now Borises number one man in number ten?
Dear god! Another utter ****-wit with no discernible talent, intelligence or ability but a rabid far right brexiteer

It’s almost as if only the terminally dim would be prepared to accept the job that no sane person would touch with a barge-pole

So in this tweet does he actually not know what kicked into touch means or did he just accidentally say the opposite of what he meant? Either way, great look!

My mate Paul is an English teacher and poet who has just repurposed the lyrics to Dolly Parton’s Jolene in ‘honour’ of Nadine 🤣
Looks like my Mols’ Mercedes Ode has been well & truely surpassed!

To be fair its not like anyone competent is going to be interested in the job is it?
Its pretty much a case of the captain of the titanic resigning and asking who wants the job of going down with the ship as he jumps into the lifeboat.
Three different sources say Carrie Johnson has grown weary of pressure, and has privately voiced view it might be preferable for him to throw in towel.
So this'll be divorce number ?
The Yanks are welcome to him.

Hmmm, shall we start a Gofundme page?
I think we really finally are into the endgame for this hideous clown - but as many have asked on this thread and elsewhere……what comes next? It’s a void out there.
So glad we took the “strong and stable “ option.
How long will the next one last?
^^ If the Tories of recent years have taught us anything, it's that their 3 word slogans are utterly at odds with reality.
Nice to know it was such an equitable and open applications process with a fair equals opportunity policy.
So glad we took the “strong and stable “ option.
We set of down this path long before that. I can’t be the only one wishing I’d voted for “chaos with Ed Miliband”.
Oh how we all long for ‘chaos with Ed Milliband’
Instead we’ve had a decade where the two people who’ve had most influence on this country’s direction have been Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson
it’s that their 3 word slogans are utterly at odds with reality.
Sadly we have also learnt that simplistic slogans work well when campaigning even if they do run into minor issues such as being utter crap when put into practice.

Was Cameron more than a decade ago?
Cameron wouldn’t even warrant a footnote in Political history other than casually enabling the Brexit referendum to try and head off the threat from UKIP.
One lazy, entitled Eton/Oxbridge idiot enabling the rise of another lazy, entitled Eton/Oxbridge idiot who saw off Farage by essentially turning the Tory party into UKIP
And now we are where we are. Cheers (call me) Dave!
edit. drunk

The Labour Party and Liberal Democrats voted in favour of holding the referendum. I believe that the SNP were the only party to vote against.
And now we are where we are. Cheers (call me) Dave!
The thing is if you look at it from his privileged I will always beat those common scum background it makes sense.
PR referendum. Thanks to the libdem morons switched to AV referendum instead and most of the hard right press in favour and those who want electoral reform divided since AV has a shitload of problems (I voted for AV but it was a crap choice and I can understand why people voted against). Result==win
Scottish independence referendum. Lots of people opposed including most of the press. Result == win.
Those two are done and dusted but my party are frankly a bunch of fruitcakes and I need to show I am boss. Luckily I am a PR genius based on the last two referendums and also my previous job (relying on the press not mentioning it was a gap year from politics arranged by mummy)and I won the last two so wahey this is the way to unite my party.
Result === oh bugger.
We set of down this path long before that. I can’t be the only one wishing I’d voted for “chaos with Ed Miliband”.
I did vote Labour back then. Didn't help as Tory Swayne still got in with 60% or whatever the amount he always gets but that is another issue.
A quick aside to wish the Internet happy 10th birthday please.

Boris understands the peoples outrage at the many and repeated parties held at Downing St while forcing the rest of the country into a severe lockdown where people were fined many thousands of pounds for having 4 or 5 people in one house to celebrate their birthday,
In what senior Tories have called a major clear out, Boris is to replace the napkins used at these parties so the whole of the country can see his contrition and acceptance of his poor leadership.
Mr Johnson said the moves would "improve how No 10 operates". The PM is understood to be considering further changes to his top team. Rumours about different fillings for the vol-au-vents are circulating wildly but have not yet been confirmed.
It comes at the end of a difficult week for Mr Johnson, which saw five No 10 aides resign in 24 hours and the publication of the initial findings of the Sue Gray report into gatherings at Downing Street while Covid restrictions were in place.
Still no word on this much publicized police investigation, it's all gone a bit quiet.
Confidential information
It's in a diary
This is my investigation
It's not a public inquiry
The police will report back to Boris who will then decide whether or not he should take any further action against himself. I am guessing not. Also, I am guessing some bits will be 'hidden for public interest' and these will be referenced, but not detailed, whenever there are awkward questions about a cover-up.
No cover-up here, we had a full police investigation. Explains everything including why we should not do anything - unfortunately this bit is redacted but trust us, it is a really good and honest reason
Still no word on this much publicized police investigation, it’s all gone a bit quiet.
I'm taking a wild guess that ploughing through 500 plus documents and 300 plus photographs, identifying everyone, getting statements under caution and compiling evidence to the standard needed in such a high profile case is possibly taking more than a couple of hours.
The police will report back to Boris
That would be the biggest scandal of all if true.
And now we are where we are. Cheers (call me) Dave!
Exactly. Just look at the impact he had, he’s like a messiah but different.
Just when Corpulent Calamity stops using 3 word slogans we get 'security, respect and prosperity'. Aaaaarrrghh, is there no end to this simplistic patronising drivel?
That would be the biggest scandal of all if true.
It’s a funny one ,the man made the rules,broke them by effectively going to a party in his house when everyone else was forbade from going to pretty much anything,on pain of fixed penalty notice/public shaming/career suicide by the papers/media.
When asked if he was at a party in his house, it went from no party,no rules were broken at the party that wasn’t,I didn’t know it was a party,I should have been told to have a party, to wait for the sue gray report to decide if I was at a party.
That ended up with a outcome that there were parties and it was terribly naughty,but because the police have to issue fixed Party fines,that we can’t tell you the parties and who went although we don’t really have to tell you and neither do the police as it’s just like a parking fine.
Then there’s was a change of heart and a mumble that they should probably tell the people if the man got a fine for a party happening around him in his house which just happens to be his place of work where they tend to crack open the wine during work time.
So then a bit of chair shuffling occurs as the man apologises for everyone else failing him and saying he can fix this 🙂
How much do you have to do for something to be scandal nowadays.
hey report Boris Johnson has been “exploring opportunities” in US where he could make $250k per speech after leaving office.
On one hand, I’d like to see his passport confiscated as a potential flight risk pending a proper investigation into the last 10 years. On the other I suspect his making up a speech off the cuff spiel he’s got away with for years over here will fall flat on its face in the US where he will be seen as unprofessional and disrespectful to the organisers and he’ll see bookings evaporate pretty quickly.
TBH he is the greatest U.K. stand up comedian of all time 🙂
This story about him from Martin Rowson (political cartoonist) is rather telling also.

Law enforcement reporting directly to the prime minister they are investigating would be a good start for me

That's surprising for an Eton King's Scholar who went to Harvard on a Kennedy scholarship and got a PhD in economics at Cambridge and whose father is an economist for the Commonwealth.
Brain fog after Covid perhaps?

Begging your pardon sir, not for the likes of us to question the benefits of an inheritance and an expensive education. Mogg and Kwasi know a lot about how capital can be multiplied, especially if you can get a steer on public policy and regulation, but that doesn’t mean they understand how any productive business works. There’s a very good chance that one or both of them are genuinely highly intelligent, but that doesn’t guarantee experience or understanding of “business” rather than “money”.
Kwasi is another one of those Britannia Unchained MPs who have been elevated to power by Brexit. He wants the rich to be made richer, at the expensive of protections and quality of life for workers. And he’s getting his way. He was a key supporter of the “in plain sight” corruption that Johnson tried to get away with as regards Owen Patterson. He was also a key supporter of Johnson both times he stood to be party leader. His political career should be over if/when Johnson’s is… but I strongly suspect he’ll sidestep the mess and continue to push the UK towards a deregulated low pay lower quality of life country where money can make money, and the less well off facilitate that while doffing their caps and continuing to vote against their own interests.
Corporeal calamity
Is that too body shaming?
