PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[ska invita]

Im increasingly convincing myself it will be David Davies who will be next leader, but can anyone remember why he didnt win the job when Cameron did? I seem to recall many old skool Tories disliking him. Maybe its his more 'working class' background? Is there any particular baggage he carries?

He won't win because he believes in things like civil liberties

why not exactly? he seems perfectly placed (already key Brexit planner), and that you guv polling puts him as second least hated after ruth davidson, who i cant imagine seriously being in the running

Not who else, just who.

Not sure the calculations as rational as you suggest. Yes, in theory he'd have a good chance. But he's had the whip withdrawn before iirc. Not like tm on terror/civil liberties. I just don't think he plays so well with the membership as others who may step forward.

while a coalition of cats is not a bad idea, i'm fairly sure that larry is civil service not a political appointment...

 

[Badgers]

I can't see that either.

Regardless of his cunty attitude and proven lies in the eyes of the rich Boris is a 'character' and a bit of a cad. Not what we want in a political leader but I don't doubt he can get the leadership if he goes for it.

Panic will mean a need to run for safety .......Boris is not a safe option

My working theory is that senior Tories are trying to persuade him to run so that he can then cop the blame for destabilising May's leadership, at which point it will be all "well, if we're going to have a leadership contest, what about Davis instead?" Davis gets the job, without any accusations that he stabbed the PM in the back etc.

The papers' front pages have come from somewhere inside the party. Someone's trying to appeal to BJ's ego.

Gove's back in the cabinet as a constant reminder to Boris what happened last time he ran .......Maybe May will force them to sit next to each other ..just for the lols

I have seen that cat hanging around No. 10 a few times, does it live there?

 

[Sue]

IIRC, was Davis not seen as being too old?

Not if it can find his way out he doesn't.

I'm sure, that May will Corbyn all this trouble out.

That Larry the chief mouser to the cabinet offices

Yes. More here.

Doesn't that cat do twitter and/or facebook?

Johnson wants to conquer the World, but he must of course have his own personal plane, not that he is letting his power go to his head, his ego
run out of control Boris Johnson criticised after calling for his own 'Brexit plane'

Boris can add to the seat stains.

The only air travelling I want to see Boris Johnson doing is being blasted out of a cannon with no helmet.

Russian pranksters discuss Putin and Skripal in call with Boris Johnson

he'll be the man who made theresa may look strong and stable by comparison

 

[chilango]

Yup.

He'll accelerate the collapse in credibility the system is having right now.

 

[chilango]

...and our job is to counter every populist move he makes with "Eton".

Johnson's elevation is a metric of the damage wrought by May on the right party of capital.
