bye election

Deserves credit.

I chickened out of the dad pun, and edited my post. Thanks for the nod though RM.

Oh, and funkmasterp, don’t do yourself down. You might make a great PM!

They’re knocking up a complete new plan for the economy tonight which he’s announcing tomorrow.
So that’ll be brill.

Presumably based on the savings from not having any ministers...

Does anyone know, is "buoyant" a media euphemism for enjoying Columbia's finest? The Guardian reports that:

'Buoyant' Johnson determined to 'fight on'

He'll probably declare war on the Russians tonight.

Anyone knowledgeable enough to diagnose his underlying condition? Narcissist? Sociopath? Psychopath? The man is unhinged

He's just the product of an extremely privileged upbringing where he's always got his own way, never heard the word "No" and has never been held accountable for his actions. Same as Trump. Lie, cheat, bully, it doesn't matter. In his eyes he's done nothing wrong.

I actually laughed out loud hearing this. The whole shebang is a gift which keeps on giving.

Apart from previous history, I wonder what marks him out from the others that went to see him this evening. Do you think he was the only one with the balls to actually go through with saying what he thought when in the room alone with him?

I should imagine the least surprised person in the country is Gove.

Presumably Kwarteng also to be fired, as being public about calling him to go.

Patel and Zahawi are reportedly privately telling him to go; is that enough to fire them. Zahawi in ca 24hrs would be hilarious.

Does he have enough people to take on the (proper) cabinet jobs now? Never mind the dozens of private secretaries, etc.

I believe all those labels now are considered personality disorders. Sociopath is just a mild psychopath

I would say he has narcissistic personality disorder. Common in politics and buisness and probably caused by his upbringing. Eton is a very damaging environment

The nightmare scenario is that Starmer gets fined by Durham police early next week and resigns along with Rayner.

Johnson calls GE in desperation. Tories Tory and enough go along with GE against leaderless Labour party.

Johnson gets back in an the whole circus goes round again

Could be better than that. Imagine if sks gets a fine but not rayner. That would be great

Would that mean Johnson fighting a Labour Party with Miliband as a stand in leader?

I vote for chaos with Ed Miliband.

Trust me, they are looking at this and brexit and just laughing at us.

The UK govenment has collapsed, what we need is an emergency interim cross-party govenernment. I belive there are mechanisms for this in genuine times of constitutional crisis.

I believe the technical term is ‘totally ****ing hatstand!’

I know that when the leader of the country has gone completely mental you shouldn’t laugh, but…

This is brilliant, isn’t it? 😂

I would have thought that if Nads had heard Boris might be falling on his sword tonight she might have went round to see if she could fall on it too.

Believe me if Starmer gets fined he will be desperately looking for an excuse not to resign, Johnson calling a snap election would be the perfect excuse.

Although Johnson won't be calling a snap election as I don't doubt that the Queen would be advise not to dissolve parliament until the PM's position was established. The PM remains PM even after parliament has been dissolved. The Tories could still remove Johnson as leader even if parliament is dissolved.

If there was a general election Johnson would be quite likely to lose his seat.
