Boris Johnson!

Catching up after work – anyone drawing comparisons between Boris and Trump in their delusional inability to admit the game’s up?

Yep!

Nadine resplendent in her lovely blue summer frock. Could be worse people to be holed up with.

Like Eva Braun or Carla Petacci?

Did he just say “a vote of no competence”

I believe he’s just offered himself up for a ministerial position.

He’s so desperate Boris will probably make him Chancellor tomorrow. We’re well into Caligula’s horse territory now

When we were warned about a summer of discontent

Who was expecting the Conservative Party to go on strike?

If the Con party did all go on strike, the economy may just be less **** than its going to be with the current morons in charge.

This is more likely to be like Churchill’s result at Galipoli, rather than at Dunkirk or the skies over Kent.  With the youth of the day  once again harmed the most for absolutely no benefit.

Braverman on Peston stating that johnson should go; also confirming that, in event of a leadership campaign, she will stand as a candidate.

Tory vultures; shut the **** up going on about tax cuts – you one trick liars. One economic ‘policy’ wheeled out like a roulette table.

Could’ve done it ages ago.

Vulture Tory MPs looking desperate – “it’s time to get rid of this woke rubbish.”

I can imagine this has a bearing on his not wanting to go today!

Braverman standing up as the next PM?

Nadine is going to declare next, isn’t she?

I’m looking forward to this leadership election

Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans?!!! 😂😂😂

Genuine LOL

So I have a letter written by her in my house somewhere, and she is telling me that BoJo is the right person for the job and 100% has her backing and support.
I think she might need to write to me again and admit that she is a poor judge of character

I love the idea of Boris doing a Trump and instigating an uprising

Trumps supporters were/are all tooled up survivalists from Idaho with a stack of assault rifles and a pick up truck, Boris’s core voters are pensioners from Eastbourne with a collection of China teapots

she is a poor judge of character

She’s hardly alone.

Nice roll call of resignations coming up now on Newsnight 😀

.@Peston: A number of your colleagues have wondered if you have thought about standing?@SuellaBraverman: I’ll be honest with you, Robert. Yes, I will.

The end of a brilliant day, do hope it’s the same again tomorrow

Nice roll call of resignations coming up now on Newsnight 😀

Top notch trolling by Newsnight, including Boris Johnson’s name at the end with a question mark 😂

EXC: The Tory whips office has calculated Boris Johnson would get the backing of just 65 Tory MPs in a second confidence vote.

That’s out of almost 360 Tory MPs – so support from less than a fifth. Boris allies have been discussing that today. More in @Telegraph tomorrow.

If this is true I can’t see what he thinks his play is…

Another line of coke a few more whiskies

Then bed,

up bright and early to shout at whatever spads are still in the building to find him some new ministers asap

Nice roll call of resignations coming up now on Newsnight

Is it an extended edition?

Made me laugh…

Braverman is about to get sacked and genuinely not understand why.

— Hugo Rifkind (@hugorifkind) July 6, 2022

🤣 at those numbers. He’s got 4 days to change their minds. Good luck with that.

If this is true I can’t see what he thinks his play is…

Blame widespread voter fraud for the VOC. Offer Mike Lindell a position in the cabinet. Give Rudy asylum and make him attorney general?

Maybe how for a vote of no confidence by Labour – then Tories have to vote for him or go into a general election whilst simultaneously trying to oust and replace him.

Other than that I’ve no idea

If this is true I can’t see what he thinks his play is…

He’ll claim that he has a mandate from the people, and the MPs in parliament are getting in the way of him delivering. He’s king of the world, not just Prime Minister. And he’ll use every trick he can to make it stick for as long as he can. I can see it ending up in court, and then it’ll be judges and lawyers getting in the way of him delivering. And anyone explaining why this is all so dangerous for our country, well they’ll be journalists, columnists and other politicians (the one’s you can’t trust, not like him) getting in the way of him delivering.

Loved the comment on Boris Johnson by the editor of the Daily Mirror on Sky news:

“He’s like Sid James in Carry on up the Kyber”

I’m really starting to think he’s pathologically delusional and genuinely thinks it’s just a few ministers and the press making all this noise, that the electorate still love him, and in a weeks time he’ll have fixed everything again and that everyone will clap him on the back and congratulate him.

I imagine that’s why Gove was fired, I can very much see him having pointedly told Boris that he doesn’t have his support or confidence, that Boris is the problem so no Gove won’t resign and those that did are cowards trying to save their skin instead of do the job, that the world thinks Boris is a **** and to sod off and let the rest of the cabinet get on with their jobs and running the country.

The rest I can see having tap danced around it and expressing their support whist they encouraged him to go.

Except Patel obviously, she’ll have put her Rosa Kleb shoes on for the occasion but she’s a true believer in the vision.

It’s quite refreshing the BBC seem to feel safe enough to hold more frank interviews tonight. I think even they know the writing is on the wall for the conservatives.

Who knows… They might even dare to put out a new episode of ‘have I got news for you’ in the near future.

I think Keir needs to move a vote of no confidence now.

If Braverman thinks that tory party members are going to get behind a youngish second-generation immigrant woman as PM, that’s just nominative determinism.

I think Keir needs to move a vote of no confidence now.

Lose lose for him and us, the tories will have to shut up or put up and it won’t be the latter.

We’ll end up saddled with Boris as pm of a party he can’t even hope to run and no solution – not even a bad one – to anything in sight.

Starmer will be out because he couldn’t even unseat Boris when he had single figure support and we’ll end up with another Labour leadership race lurching from one side of the party to the other because the middle ground has somehow become toxic and you’ll still end up with a middle class white bloke in charge.

If Braverman thinks that tory party members are going to get behind a youngish second-generation immigrant woman as PM, that’s just nominative determinism.

They’ll get behind what ever looks least like Boris and most likely to win votes. They’d put corbyn in charge of the party if they thought for a second it would win them the election.

think Keir needs to move a vote of no confidence now.

Will never happen, even the Tories that most despise Johnson will rally behind him on that, because they know a GE would destroy them right now

Edit- what dangourebrain saud

Leave the Conservative MPs to sort this mess out… let’s see how the public end up viewing their party by the time Johnson is finally defenestrated.

Inspired trolling from Rudy Guilliani’s favourite landscaping company

Just touching base – we feel the time is right for a press conference.

We have some experience with this sort of thing…

Never interfere with the enemy while he is in the process of making a mistake.

The backstabbing and general party-rending has only just started. We owe it to ourselves to enjoy the ritualistic tory self-mutilation for at least a few days.

Imagine the carnage if he tried to call an election to confirm his presidential mandate.

Looking at Johnson’s track record, and the statements he’s made today, I’d be amazed if that isn’t presently his number one option.

His complete detachment from reality is now complete. He thinks he’s a Roman emperor. He’s so deluded that he thinks he’s bigger than the country and the party and he thinks a grateful public are going to carry him aloft to Westminster

I can’t wait to see him coming crashing into reality

Quite the Mutally Assured Destruction actually applied.  Takes out 100 dissenting MPs as he goes down.

It’s not called MAD for nothing. And as we can all see, BoZo is most certainly barking MAD.

I did think it a little unfair of Martin Lewis (MoneySavingExpert) to be calling out the Labour rep on Newsnight earlier for not being direct about the reasons for not calling for a vote of (no?) confidence in Johnson when pressed by Kirsty Wark. It’s blindingly obvious they don’t have to do anything currently and if they did it would just be getting in the way. It would be counter productive and . . . spoil the fun ;o)
