PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[weltweit]

Boris is a quitter tho

Has he got form for quitting?

The while thing is weird. Not that I care tbh.

I agree, very weird, if I am to believe what I have been fed for the last umpteen years, Boris wants or wanted No 10, this would surely have been a very likely chance of getting it.

more form for being sacked but I hear he quit out the race for tory leader

And why go through with a launch and then quit. £1 fish.

Radio4 news are saying Johnson would not have gotten enough MPs support to be sure of making it to the last 2 to go for election to the wider party.

Exactly thevsort of thing i would expect people to discuss on a thread such as this.

on friday morning Johnson had around 80 declared supporters, after his less than spectacular efforts over the last week than number had dropped to around 30 by last night. 25 turned up to his declaration, and it appears not one of them knew he was about to withdraw.

he quit because he would probably have been votede out in the second or third round - he'd have beaten Fox and probably Leadsom, but lost to Crabbe, and lost massively to May and Gove.

ego can be a terrible master.

If Michael Gove becomes Prime Minister, it really will prove once and for all that the public are sick of experts.

[Tankus]

Dunno if it's been mentioned....but

Gove and his wife .......the poundland Lannisters.....made me laugh

 

[coley]

Maybe he recognises next leader is a poisoned chalice but the one after might be better

Naw, Gove has stabbed him so effectively he may never have another chance, looks like a May premiership and a GE followed by endless fudge and and a second ref.

 

[coley]

Extracting ourselves out of the EU is gonna be a horrible job

Extracting the country from the leadership struggles followed by extracting the country from the exploding EU is going to be even more interesting, (and, yes horrendous)

 

[coley]

He wants nothing to do with it at all. That's why he's not standing.

Boris didn't want the job?

 

[coley]

ha ha ha - eat shit you narcissistic, shit stirring, nasty little gobshite. Cameron and then Gove have totally fucked him. My guess is that Gove has got some serious shit on him - some seriously Machiavellian stuff going on with the tories.

Best scenario up to now, saying he didn't want the job is unrealistic.

 

[phildwyer]

Yep. A second ref that will vote Leave by a wider margin, since the British people hate being ignored. What will they do then?

 

[coley]

Whereas the 'most failed leadership bid in history' award is shortly to be won by one A. Eagle.

Aye whey her and her ilk aren't going to be welcome at the Durham miners gala, friggin bunch of Tory shadow ministers.

 

[coley]

I've never said this before ...but well done Cameron

Think about it, Boris would have made an amusing, if short lived leader, Gove will be lucky to make the short list, but May has the ability to surf this Shyte and bring the Tories out as a credible Govt, either seeking a second ref or getting the Norwegian deal, either way stuffing democracy.

 

[coley]

Yep. A second ref that will vote Leave by a wider margin, since the British people hate being ignored. What will they do then?

Give Boris a second chance? Anything goes these days

 

[phildwyer]

Give Boris a second chance? Anything goes these days

They'll dismiss the people and elect another.

 

[Favelado]

Naw, Gove has stabbed him so effectively he may never have another chance

He's perfect for a comeback one day. Hague ended up in the cabinet even after the baseball cap. IDS ended up in the cabinet. Mandelson got second chances. Whenever you think one of these cunts is done for, they get back up and stagger on. Politicians are zombies. Almost impossible to finish off.

Bit like Corby, got the vote of the grassroots but not the elite in the HoCs, suspect Boris is now playing the 'rather short' long game' IE, he's been shafted and will give the shaftees a couple of years to blow it, then step,forward as the saviour? Possible if labour don't get its act together in the meantime.

By which time the referendum issue will have been sorted, and he won't have to deal with the fallout.

It's such a brilliant plan, only an old Etonian could have thought of it eh what?

Gove, Not a scooby, just wondering seriously what he's up to, he's effectively handed Brexit to the remainders who will do everything in their power to annul the decision.

Only because he got Ceasered by Gove, Boris was all set to go for PM earlier today, but your scenario has merit, Boris though gutted, could well be thinking, ah,breathing space, bastards, I'll fettle them the reckly.
Who knows WTF is going through the Westminster mindset at this time? what's really clear is that their party and personal aspirations are clearly more important to them than the security and welfare of their constituents and country.
If we ever needed a marker for the level of our elected representatives, than the last week has provided it, in spades!

I'll just...

a) He genuinely believes he has a shot at the leadership.
b) He doesn't give a shit.

A, he's deluded
B, he worked his arse off for the leave campaign, what's his game?

Declared as opposed to undecided? Rabbit off here somewhere,as it stands gove must know he's going to be hammered by May, why has he handed the leadership to a fervent remainder?
Could have understood it if Boris ( a suspect remainer) had done it, but Gove?
