Talk Your Way Out Of This One Johnson

[Ldr]

Sunak now

[Glyn_Wigley]

Bozo looking to hold on until the summer recess, to gain some breathing space.
Expect more unavailability, due to jaunts here, there and everywhere.

As he will not resign, it is down to the 1922 to cull him.
New elections to the 1922 coming up, which could cook his oven ready goose!

On the subject of electoral pacts, I would think a Tory/LibDem pact more likely than any other combination in the event of a hung parliament.

At this rate, will he be able to fill all the jobs with people willing to work under him?

As for a pact, do you honestly think the Libs would do it again after the last time they jumped into bed with the Tories decimated them?

Trying to save their sorry arses!

[albie]

The 1922 election date is out on July 6....expect a slate of opponents of Johnson to stand.

Do I think the L/Dems would enter a pact with the Tories....yes, certainly, if the numbers supported that option.
They could rule it out now, could they not?

[Glyn_Wigley]

Sunak now

Jesus Christ, to have a Chancellor quit purely because of his character! He is definitely toast now.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Nicely timed for halfway through the six o'clock news for shock exposure!

[Glyn_Wigley]

Trying to save their sorry arses!

More likely because they can bid for the leadership more easily now they're outside the government. And knowing that's the case it might prompt more resignations now they know Johnson's time is up and the job is up for grabs.

[MachoMadness]

They're jumping first chance they get after Rothermere instructed the Mail to turn on Johnson. Coincidence I'm sure.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

He was on thin ice and tried to jump on it with his latest f**k up.  No surprise it's gonna end this way it was always going to. He had the biggest opportunity of any leader to have power for a very long time and messed it up.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Brexit was always going to bite no matter who the PM was.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I think this is him done. But I've said that before...

[Glyn_Wigley]

I wonder if Boris will try the 'run away to Ukraine' tactic again!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Best price you can currently get on him getting hoyed out this year is 1/12.

[mugnapper]

Please God, ask Dorries what she thinks of all this disloyalty to the love of her life

[Glyn_Wigley]

Please God, ask Dorries what she thinks of all this disloyalty to the love of her life

Watch out, she'll be Chancellor in thirty minutes!!

Apparently the favourite to be next PM is....



Mark Harper!





Nope. Me neither.

Is it another of Alias Shapp And Jones' personas?

[normal rules]

Interesting to see the budget next week.
Sunak has alluded to the fact that they are “too different”  in their approaches to sorting the economy out.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Sweet f**king Jesus. Tobias Ellwood is favourite now.

Mark Francois to be the next favourite!

[Colemans Left Hook]

according to Dan Hodges we are entering the endgame for Boris 

mind you he's none too optimistic about the other bloke

"DAN HODGES: It's not being boring that is Keir Starmer's big problem...it's that nobody can trust a single thing he says"

Totally by chance i was making Mrs Coleman a cup of tea ( or as Boris would phrase it in his alternative world "trading commodities" ) on saturday night (before the Sunday papers came out) and put the radio on just as my new with hindsight "Daily Mail" friend was speaking - had no idea what program it was  thought radio 4 but it turned out to be question time on radio 2 - when i searched i-player found it

so had had a big bet on Rotherham Boris "decaying" this year  -- have now safely closed off the position and I have a very happy bank manager again.

No, just a grammatical intellectual.

By the way, "pedant" only has one "d".

See what I mean?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Now Sunak's favourite.

It's like that The Thick of It special where the PM resigns and the advisers are up all night trying to think of someone to replace him who doesn't have a drink or gambling problem.

At one point they chuck a name out and the secretary says "Is that her with the red hair? Oh she's lovely."

[BobG]

He's been well and truly done over this morning hasn't he? A public, written statement from an ex senior civil servant confirming that the Greasy Piglet was personally briefed months and months ago about the sexual depradations of the guy. Ergo the Piglet's claim to know nothing is a downright lie. Even the BBC, the cowed and pusillanimous BBC, broadcast that fact using those very words.

The knives are being sharpened.

And later. Everybody, of any and all political views, really should listen to this. To the end. It builds... "That is a failed state"

You fell for it mate. At least i knew I was falling for it. See previous posts

[Glyn_Wigley]

Saying you forgot someone was a pervert isn't going to go down well...

[ravenrover]

But now he's very very sorry

Who’s Captain hindsight now?
