Betfair offering 7/1 that Johnson resigns by end of the week.
Not going to happen.
Theres no way on earth he’s going to resign
He is ALWAYS sacked
I fear this time he’s going to refuse to leave until they kick him out and that won’t happen for a while. He’s basically there until he’s taking the whole lot down with him which will destroy the country at the worst possible time. I know he’s not the one pulling the strings but without him as a figurehead while they elect a replacement there will be all sorts of unimaginable stuff happening in the background that will damage the country for a generation or more. I want him to go but I’m scared what will happen when he does!
I’ve been working for US companies for 25yrs and met an awful lot of people from there. It’s a generalisation but California and the wider NY-Boston-Washington area are the more liberal areas with ideas more aligned to us Europeans. The rest varies from cowboy to redneck to racist to farmers. You really have to view it as 50 different countries with some similarities.
I have to say I disagree with this. There are many such people but I don’t even think they are in the majority.
I would echo this. Just go and read Obama’s book. Not him just getting issues such as ‘Obamacare’ past congress and senate but the issues potential members of either congress or senate would have with the voters if they stated their favour for any of the above to the US electorate in many states.
But we digress – this thread is about Johnson and we are not exactly short of material to discuss on topic!!!
On the other hand though, they have finally proven that they ARE capable of organising a piss-up! Maybe not in a brewery – perhaps that’s the next step along the road to competence…
It is an investigation by Cabinet Office – not an Inquiry (or an enquiry either)
A key aspect of the Civil Service Code is neutrality, they cannot be political. They support the government in power in that they do all the admin required to put government policy into practice.
Kate Josephs, the former head of the Government unit responsible for drawing covid-19 restrictions, was given a leaving do in the Cabinet Office on December 17 2020 – the day before the Number 10 Xmas Partyhttps://t.co/KB5XmRO4Ds
Why / who holds the police responsible for investigating and prosecuting clear breaches of law?
This sums up how public breaches were handled, yet our politicians, civil servants, journalists and more on the No10 gravy train remain un-investigated…
Jebus, it’s be quicker to list the dates when the incumbents of No. 10 WEREN’T on the piss!
The NHS got applauded but it does feel like the hardest public sector workers through all this were the No. 10 caterers. They’ve put in an epic shift, running solidly for the last 2 years it seems.

While a fair point, plenty of parties and events weren’t prosecuted round here either.
They explicitly said at the time you couldn’t go to second homes
NEW: Boris and Carrie Johnson alleged to have used Chequers between 16th and 27th March 2020 – with the PM accused of moving between Chequers and London against government guidance.
I don’t want him to resign. I don’t want him to have the dignity of resignation. Imagine the speeches, the sycophancy from Dorries, Rees-Mogg, Raab, etc. No, I want him humiliated, ruined, and expelled from the House of ****. I’d like to say arrested but there is **** all chance of that with the Met in charge.
Is there any legal means to have him executed for coming up with a plan in which he refers to himself as ‘big dog’ – a term I last heard used by Tim Westwood. The narcissism is off the scale.
BJ needs to stay. At the moment he’s dragging the Tories down, if they replace him with Sunak or Hunt or anyone else then all of a sudden they’ll be back to being the sensible party that’s destined to govern.
It’s almost like the national press intentionally sold the public a giant dog turd and are now all standing around shouting “Wow, who left this giant dog turd here, this is outrageous” pic.twitter.com/ZYDaR9GN54
Operation save big dog – johnsons words, apparently.
F me sideways; he truly is a deluded, egocentric, arrogant, misguided pile of excrescence.
A steaming turd of the highest order.
Any attempt to throw civil servants under the bus will rebound badly as no-one has any loyalty to him.
He is more toxic than anthrax.
