Despite wanting to be PM all his life

Turns out he's much worse at it than Maybot

How many letters do the 1922 committee need ?

Or be found and tried for lying.

There are many times he should have resigned during his career, but didn't.

Now he's tearing his own party apart, I'm suddenly not sure I'm so eager to see him go.

No, he wanted the job and has done some amazing conniving to get it. Make the **** stick it out and suffer at the hands of the shit storm he created.

He needs to stick it out until the the week before the next series of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

I like the cut of scaredypants jib.
So No,he has made his Tracey Emin style bed ,so he needs to lie in it.
If ,as a lot of people keep banging on about, he is really a smart ,articulate ,intelligent politician, pretending to be a bumbling idiot, then he needs to drop that act now and reveal his true masterful power .Let him show the people of Britain that there is not a tsunami scaled tidal wave of shit poised to crash over the country for Halloween .Let him put our minds to rest with an eloquent and well measured response to all enquiries at PM’s question time.
Don't hold your breath.

I think he is doing a fantastic job...of damaging his own party and making it more and more likely they will become damaged goods in any future GE. He needs to hang around a bit longer to ensure he has really wrecked them.

Unfortunately though, by remaining in post, he is also damaging the country.

15% of tory mp's, but he's just sacked the potentially most rebelious 7%.

Forgetting for a moment he’s an arse. He’s only really been in the role for a matter of days (if you consider they’ve been on recess since July), even a Premier League Manager would get a month.

Anyway, what’s the point? The Tory Party members have gone full rabid nutters they’ll only appoint the next Boris

I wouldn't put it past Boris to call a VONC in his own government before the end of next Monday, if the Benn bill gets through House Of Lords and all those silly amendments over the next day or so... And then we see if the anti No Deal parties can agree on a cabinet and leader.

On the plus side I expect Cameron's happy to have now slipped to being the 3rd worst PM this century. Now if only Corbyn actually had a chance of being elected...

No, leave him in to continue making a fool of himself. Mrs. Slow also just suggested leaving Cummings in post as he seems to be doing a great job of destroying the Tory party.

He should be pinned down and forced to have his ****ing hair brushed and cut. Every time he speaks all I hear is this guy.

Be careful what you wish for... there a Rees-Mogg waiting in the sidelines. I’m not sure which one is worse.

I'm torn. It's a bit like your children making cupcakes and leaving the lid off the food processor because they wanted to see if the mix would hit the ceiling.

There's cake mix up the walls and you could tell them there's no TV or pudding until the worst of the mess is tidied up.

OR

You could accept that there's no way on this planet that they're going to make any more than the most half arsed and incompetent attempt at removing the mess from anything more than a square inch of already clean worktop and accept that someone who knows how to use a damp cloth properly actually needs to step in.

The problem here is that many if not all of those who might step forward are not fit for the job either. In fact a few of them might see the solution as demolishing the kitchen with dynamite and then believing it would magically grow back much bigger, cleaner and with cupboards full of British bananas.

After the last few years, I'm thoroughly enjoying the little shit getting a daily kicking.

I expect Cameron’s happy to have now slipped to being the 3rd worst PM this century.

Still in second place, probably first, TBH. He arrived, took a politically stable country and propelled it into chaos as a means of dealing with an internal political problem. May and Boris inherited chaos, and made it worse.

I dunno that May made it worse. Definitely didn't make it better.

On the plus side I expect Cameron’s happy to have now slipped to being the 3rd worst PM this century.

I'd put him neck and neck with Blair for driving us into Iraq on the back of bare faced lie, then having David Kelly killed claiming God told him to do it and leaving us with Crash Gordon in the driving seat.

No matter how bad the present government or its leader is,Labour doesn't believe it could win a general election. This is a reflection on how most of the political class are viewed by the public.The only good thing that may come out of this debacle is that there is a complete overhaul of politics in this country.

This.
Cameron is right up there at the top IMO.
without him pandering to Farage we'd not be in the biggest mess we've seen in 100's of years.

No.

He is only trying to do what the people voted for. Its all the other imbeciles that are undermining his negotiating position by removing the only bargaining chip he has/had in his pocket (no deal). Without that the only option you have is to except whatever ridiculous terms the EU force on us.

I’m quite enjoying watching the impotent fury of a man-baby who’s not used to hearing the word ‘no’

You can keep it like this for years, for me

But if he must go, seeing as he’s been acting like Mussolini, then that end would be fitting

You do realise that no deal is the best deal for half a dozen EU countries don't you, Trailwagger. No deal isn't a bargaining chip when it's what benefits you adversary most. Luxembourg is delighted with the prospect of Brexit, preferably no deal:

That's like saying the bottom 6 teams in the premier league want to change the rules... Who cares, its the big teams at the top that call the shots.

I beg to differ. There are more than enough snakes in government to achieve this.

Assuming you mean accept them, what ridiculous terms are these?

Threatening to blow our own heads off, in the hope the EU don't want to get their shoes messed up by our blood and brains*, really isn't a bargaining chip.

*and lets face it, there is little evidence the country has much brain matter for them to worry about.

Frankly it's time these arrogant self-aggrendising politicains got a wake up call imo.

It was blantantly obvious that there is no simple solution to the (impossible) Brexit problem, yet BoJo stood up and basically said he could solve anything, that May had been incompetent, and that he would solve all the problems. Well guess what, he was talking complete rubbish. No one can solve Brexit because it is an impossible problem, and anyone arrogant enough to think they can needs to learn the hard way i suggest.......

We did except the ridiculous terms, and when we had excepted them, we were left with what looked like a vaguely sensible withdrawal agreement.

Or did you mean to spell that differently?

Word is (on twitter anyway) that Cummings is about to be made scapegoat by 'Team Johnson'. Don't know if it's because he's clearly very bad at his job, or for roaming Westminster like bitter old drunk shouting at anyone who get in his way.

I'm enjoying watching him twist in the wind, so why cut him down just yet?

He should be left for a while once the threat of a No Deal has gone.

Except every EU country has a veto. Just as well they aren't as into blackmail as the UK. If I were Spanish I use my veto on any deal unless Gibralta were handed back. If I were from Luxembourg I'd veto giving a banking passport. I'm French so I'll veto a banking passport and any favours to UK farmers.

It's quite remarakbale that Michel Barnier managed to get 27 leaders to sign the deal May was offfered.

Not for too long though. Would love to see him wear ignominious crown of shortest serving prime minister ever. 😁

I'm quite enjoying watching him squirm while he essentially has no power to do anything.

As a classical scholar you would think he better understood the danger of "winning" at any cost. Seem to remember something about a bloke called Pyrrhus

Haha! Bloke in the office here thought BoJo's brother quitting was the PM resigning. Duh.
