Boris Johnson!

Olly, there’s always going to be someone in charge.
All we can hope for are wonderful days like this when we can watch the **** squirm.

So the shit sticks till the Autumn. There will be paralysis and cynicism

Cheers!! 🥂

Our is chilling for 5pm. Might go outside and clap at 12:30 though.

– the problem for the cons. at the moment it’s they have no mechanism for proposing another PM whilst Boris is in post, once he’s not, there is no leader, and no mechanism for forming a govt until they have one. They won’t roll over on an interim leader (with no royal ascent either) because they’re about to fight like rats in a barrel over who gets the job and any interim candidate has a huge head start.
The opposition couldn’t try forming a government without it being a cons one because they won’t get the support of the house, they do however have a lot of leway to actually propose one, and if it was a cons one (or plucked from the Lords) it might actually get enough support to take over. If course asking the Labour Party to install a cons. government in the interest of the country is no more likely than us all doing a Bobby ewing and realising its still Monday and Boris is still in a job.

It all just pigs bustling at the trough.

That doesn’t mean we should let them get on with it unquestioned and unchallenged. Johnson was never suitable for high office… and yes there is every chance that his party will choose someone else just as unsuitable… but they are doing so in front of all the voters. They public will get a say again… they need to remember all this when the time comes.

What’s the PLP?

Oh great chewy is back. At least he adds some ‘balance’ to the echo chamber.

🍻 Cheers all! Might treat myself to a beer later.

Mines a sparkling Chardonnay. A gift from my other half’s Conservative voting father. He’s a lovely bloke actually. Unlike Johnson, who’s a ____ ….

Statement at 12:30

Balls – running a course that starts right then. Please god, don’t let anyone turn up… 🙂

edit – nevermind, should have refreshed the page before answering!

Everyone ready for an orgy of self-pity?

None of that…. lots of self importance and proving that he’s still full of “vim” and ready to do get more (damage) done.

Bonarrrrr

have you seen the shower of shites lining up to replace him.

Or the other party (s) … you are in for a rough ride.

He could, theoretically be removed by the House without the need for a GE, though quite how is an odd conundrum, not in the least because it would practically mean the PLP proposing a Conservative govt at this juncture.

The process for that is fairly simple – a vote of no confidence lost means that the incumbent PM is then given a brief period to ‘regain the confidence of the House’. If he fails to do that, then in theory another MP, in this case Conservative, given the majority, could approach the Queen and ask to form a government. If this MP says he/she could command the confidence of the majority, then the Queen would offer Royal Assent.

A general election would follow only if no other politician was in a position to win a confidence vote. It’s associated with VONC mainly because they tend to happen to governments with very slim majorities or minority governments, where there is no immediate prospect of anyone winning another one.

Bets on him being late. Maybe he missed the meeting.

Bonarrrrr

Phnarrr.

Poor Gordon Brown. Wish I’d voted Labour in that election now.

Hereford Pale Ale?

Where’s JRM at the moment, plotting something.

At least my local my isn’t a complete weapon 🤣

What’s all this “that party”, not “my party” stuff?

All excited about “his” mandate and “him” trying to deliver on it.

Brexit, vaccines, Ukraine… (all nonsense, but there’s the claim for a legacy).

Practically there isn’t in the case of the cons. The Labour Party could, in a similar position, lose, have the deputy leader assume the reigns and form a new government tomorrow, or a coalition could be formed etc.
The difficulty is the structure of the cons. party means there is no alternative member waiting to take up the position.
So someone else would need to put them forward.

Yes Kelvin

Chuckling at Steve Bray playing bye bye Boris over his speech (that is full of BS)

What a weapons-grade ****.

Props to the heckler at the gates to Downing St.

It only took 60secs of the clown speaking for me to swear out loud at the monitor and switch off his yabbering.

Now I want to know what his close person security team have seen… “the one team that doesn’t leak”.

“Our future together is golden”…. sunlit uplands… keep waiting… they’ll come… thanks to me.

Awful speech. The only thing he cared about was how wonderful he was. Received to see the back of the bell-end.

IMO the opposition parties are just going to screw things up as well.

p/s: in such short duration of 5 years, UK had 2 PMs … I feel for the Business sector

Why does Boris think he was elected by the British people? He isn’t elected PM by anyone but the party

Awful speech. The only thing he cared about was how wonderful he was. Received to see the back of the bell-end.

+1 but did you expect anything else?

Well, that was awash with humility and apology. Not.

So, no apology for being a ****.  No surprise really

Apology … apology … !?!?! 🤣

Practically there isn’t in the case of the cons.

The Queen has the Royal Prerogative to appoint anyone put forward by the party grandees as an interim leader.

Couldn’t help myself and turned it back on. WTF is he going on about, full of self-serving shite. Just **** off now.

Be happy about one of those drums, if he bangs the “got Brexit done” one long enough and hard enough there’s a good chancea lot of the electorate will believe it, that means the next tory leader won’t need to be a rabid brexiteer but rather someone who is capable of delivering (or seeming to) other policies which will appeal in the “red wall” seats especially if they’re going to hold a majority next time round.

Daft as it sounds Brexit being done is possibly the best legacy Boris could have in terms of us ending up with a moderate government for the next few years.
