Tory Leader - Who's your preference?

NNK

Yes. But the point is that NOW, when you Google Boris Johnson Bus, you get link after link of him being his usual buffoonish self talking about painting crates. What you DON'T get is the links of him peddling the £350m lie.

That's how Lynton Crosby operates.

I heard Curiosity killed it, but the Guardian tried to blame Boris.

[BillyStubbsTears]

No. Far more sophisticated than that. Manipulating the message.

[Bentley Bullet]

Do you mean like manipulating the message to every household in the country?

[BillyStubbsTears]

No BB. I don't.

Stick to the 40 year past their sell-by date jokes. You're much more entertaining then.

Wouldn't think that Boris the tories would sue Verhofstadt for using all these terms that portray him as fraudulent and liar about their man in government?

''Brussels has sounded a warning that Boris Johnson’s familiar use of “false promises, pseudo-patriotism and foreigner-bashing” to win the keys to Downing Street is locking Britain into a no-deal Brexit.

In a withering attack on the Conservative leadership frontrunner, Guy Verhofstadt dismissed the idea that he could dump Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement, withhold payment of the UK’s £39bn divorce bill and still negotiate a free-trade deal in Brussels as a “myth”. And he said that, years after the referendum, Johnson was “a man who continues to dissemble, exaggerate and disinform”

They haven't got a f**king clue, have they?

"Oh! Oh! I never realised my husband's Government were actually f**king over the lives of REAL vulnerable people! Why isn't someone stopping it?"

And she then f**king TWEETS about it. Instead of asking her husband where his f**king soul is.

BBC censored Boris's insult to the French: Would-be PM called nation 'turds' over Brexit in documentary when he was Foreign Secretary - but producers axed jibe amid diplomatic pressure

EXCLUSIVE : Crude remark supposed to feature in fly-on-wall TV documentary
But the Foreign Office successfully begged for it to be cut, according to insiders
The claim is corroborated by a leaked Whitehall memo seen by the Mail

But have you heard his latest piece of nonsense about it?

When challenged about having said this, he replied "I have no recollection of this comment but I noticed that it...it's not very well sourced, this story."

Not well sourced? What does that tell you what he thinks about the veracity of a Goverment Department of State...that he was head of at the time!

Fake news apparently, typing a Boris, Turd, France gets zero from the BBC news search box.

  I would say that calling Macron and Barnier turds is the truest statement to come out of any Brexit statement, the one nearest to the truth yet at least.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Go on then Selby. What has Barnier done wrong to warrant that assessment?

[Glyn_Wigley]

He's not caved in to every ridiculous Brexiteer's wet dream fantasy demands of course.

You have to love this. According to Tory Party members the worst candidate for PM is the one they would prefer!

https://twitter.com/theobertram/status/1144863429183905792

[BillyStubbsTears]

That's actually not what that poll says.

The first question is asking which would make a good PM. It clearly has the option of respondents saying "both" because the figures add up to 116%.

So it's perfectly logical in terms of the poll for 55% to say Johnson would make a good PM and for 48% to say they prefer him as PM. That means most who think he is "good" would also prefer him.

Conversely, it's perfectly logical for 61% to say Hunt would be good but only 39% say they prefer him.

So there's nothing fundamentally wrong with those figures.

Of course, the fact that anyone in the Tory party things either of them would be a good PM shows how f**king batshit they are...

[BillyStubbsTears]

Ridiculous article in The Times today about senior civil servants apparently being concerned about Corbyn becoming PM because he's physically frail.

Lord knows there is plenty of criticise Corbyn for, but considering our next PM is grossly overweight and can't keep his cock in his pants, I think criticising Corbyn on physical grounds is a bit odd. I know who is put my money on out if Corbyn and Johnson to win a 5k race.

Deal or No-Deal, depends on who's asking, to bexiters No-Deal, to Business yes a Deal. Fake or Fortune as these two play a game of Pea and thimble with the truth. Would I Lie to You? you already are.

Steve Bell on Boris Johnson's vow to review 'sin taxes' – cartoon

My friend Johnson, everybody's friend just please give me a go, I know I can do aw please, don't make fun of me this is serious.

''My friend Boris Johnson has his faults, but he is the most talented person of his generation''

''I met Boris Johnson early in my first term at Oxford and we went on to share a house together. It was obvious even before he became President of the Union that he was the most talented person of my generation.

He was a scholar at Balliol, a college famous for what H H Asquith – one of several old boys who became prime minister – called “effortless superiority”, that annoying British ability to excel without apparently having put any work into it.

Boris embodies this to an extent he might call preternatural. I have always been proud to call this extravagantly gifted man my friend, so now I am going to defend him in public''

Maybe don't speak with your mouth full.
