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

Still, I’m glad we settled for a strong and stable government rather than chaos with Ed Miliband…

"Chaos with Ed Miliband"

"At least it's not Corbyn"

We have electronic security tags on extra mature cheddar. I think it would have been fine if Labour won either election.

Malignant narcissist for sure.

Hilarious irony that he was finally brought down by the tank-topped prehensile Pincher.

Assume that’s a joke, but on the other side of the coin, maybe he does believe he’s being bullied by self-serving ministers and the media, and that he has the will and backing of the people. So why would he step down? That’s who he answers too right? The public. So a GE would be the right thing to do I guess.

Not supporting him, just mulling things over.

On yerself Boris, fight them to the hilt, jam it right up their 1922 committee!

Brandon Lewis just resigned.

Why would he step down? Because regardless of what he thinks the public might think about him, he has clearly lost the support of the vast majority of his MPs and it is impossible to govern in those circumstances. It’s very simple.

And if he doesn’t resign, they will vote to remove him next week. All he is doing is delaying the inevitable by a matter of days.

So a GE would be the right thing to do I guess.

He could just call a by-election if wants to be kicked out by voters.

All this tells me is that we need to completely reform how our government and voting works. One thing we definitely need is a **** off clause. This is where, I don’t know, the Queen maybe, can tell the PM to **** off by royal decree or something.

What other job in the world can you **** up completely and not just get sacked from. Leader of a western democracy is HR proof.

Can’t wait for the film

Who’ll be boris?

He’d probably play himself, the egotistical prick. My vote goes for Mr Potato Head in a wig or an actual bale of hay.

Brandon Lewis just resigned

Seems to be confusion on this.

That’s who he answers too right? The public.

Yes and no – Johnson appears on the ballot paper of a tiny fraction of the national electorate. The PM gets their power from the backing of the other MPs who also won their seats. Those MPs represent their electorates, not him, and a good number (basically all) have got the message from their local electorate that the clown is no longer that appealing. That’s how it actually works, though I would take your obvious next point that in reality the personality of the national party plays a huge party in the election or otherwise of local MPs.

bye election

Deserves credit.
RM.

He’s going to have a lot more time to spend with his family(families) by the weekend? Poor sods it’s all got a bit trumpian now I heard one of his backers on R4 this afternoon wants him to stay to “make Britain great” chilling stuff looking forward to seeing him dragged out leaving finger nails in the tarmac🤞

So a GE would be the right thing to do I guess.

The tories wont call one till they’ve rinsed and repeated and took control of the narrative and improved their polling.

Absolutely nothing to say they have to barring a sense of when they think they’ll win.

When they eventually remove him I’m hoping they’ll pin him down and brush his hair

It’ll be like the end of a scooby doo episode, “I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those pesky ministers”.
Rriiiiiiiipppp
Trump in a Johnson mask.

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.

They’re knocking up a complete new plan for the economy tonight which he’s announcing tomorrow.

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’

Gove’s been fired!

hahhaa, amazing. 😆

He’ll probably declare war on the Russians tonight.

Will vacant be next to be fired?

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.

NEW: Michael Gove sacked by Boris Johnson https://t.co/49vaaEUWlT

Gove’s been fired!

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

Gove’s been fired!

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?

too slow 🙂

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

That’s put Gove up in my estimations

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.

Such petulance

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

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 rest of the world must think we are absolutely **** mental as a country with Brexit and our politics.

Ha brilliant, it just keeps getting better.

Hopefully wake up to a £1000 grant. Good old Boris.

I’d never thought of that before!

41 resignations and one sacked gove
AND a partridge in a pear tree

Smell my cheddar.

I’d never thought of that before

Gone full scarface.
