time to have another artificial argument with the EU and send a gunboat somewhere...
The gunboat got pinged and went into self-isolation.

Lend us a Twenner
That would include doing a U-Turn. Johnson wouldnt allow that, would he...

From a party perspective I'm not sure it really matters what his personal ratings are like at the moment. We're nearly three years from the next scheduled GE, and I've no doubt the Tory machine will pull the trigger on him if he's a electoral liability a year or so out from 2024.

They’re taking the piss now
Unfortunately I fear you’re right. The electorate have short memories (unless they are reminded by the Right-wing press, e.g. dredging up tweets and events from years ago to ram home the Labour anti-Semitism theme).
And as you say, if Johnson is still this unpopular six-to-twelve months before the next election, they will replace him.
A great pity we don’t have an election this year!

In favour of whom? He's the most popular politician they've got by a long long way. He'd have to have a huge fall in popularity to not be their candidate at the next election.
I'm not totally sure that his personal popularity is flagging, as I was only reacting to Elbows' headline screenshot. Johnson has an unnerving ability to get a great many people to overlook his many weaknesses, and his cabinet seem to be loyal and disciplined, for now.
maomao, exactly, I agree, although things can change very quickly for totally unforeseen reasons. The most likely reason I can think of for him not to be leader at the next GE is that he gets bored, thinks he's ticked that box on his to-do list, and is promised a peerage by whoever replaces him.

This is more probably more wishful thinking, but I think Dawn Butler's dose of truth may be hitting home, but not so much her calling him a liar, as I think most of his supporters know he is, but her getting thrown out of the chamber for telling the truth. Johnson's lying his one of his USPs, 'he's a liar, but he's our liar' sort of mentality. But someone eloquently pointing it out and getting a bollocking is not on.
If the speaker had just ignored her and let her finish and let the debate continue, I think the speech would have been lost in the noise.

The Delta variant was always likely to damage the vaccine bounce. The extent of the damage would come down to the size of the wave, how well the government were considered to have handled it, amount of disruption and whether any unlocking u-turns were involved. Its still too early to fully judge some of those things, but the government messed up in multiple areas and the disruption from self-isolation, number of children sent home from school etc, and number of people infected has been very large. There is a chance the government will still 'get away with it' if the situation doesnt carry on growing worse for too much longer, and there could be a bit of bounce back in the positive direction for the government if some peoples default assumption that we'll end up in lockdown again doesnt actually happen. But there are lots of ways it could get wore even if the wave doesnt keep doubling in size, eg if the food disruption becomes more accute and the stench of incompetence grows even more. Some of the same also applies to ongoing Brexit implications.
The grenades Cummings keeps lobbing are doing a bit of damage too, as is Johnsons failure to put on a convincing performance with things such as his levelling up speech.
If I claim that Johnson is a spent force then I might be premature. But he might be, and it will just take a bit of time and a few specific events to confirm it.

He's fallen out of the car again
I continue to be amazed that enough people are prepared to take this utter charlatan, this public school blagger at face value. I thought he was a joke when he became famous in the 90's. I still do. I thought the bubble would burst rapidly, which just encapsulates my complete lack of political intuition.
He's a cunt. A self-serving, brutalised Eton bully. I knew his sort by the age of ten. They can adeptly navigate the institutional world and manipulate others, then fuck off leaving chaos and hurt on their wake. With that, 'Oh, I didn't really mean it, just a laugh, off skiing, bye' shrugging nonchalance.

I'm done ranting. Thank you for tolerating it. I think I'll get a bit pissed now.

Given how full of hot air Johnson is, the penguin shit will probably float.

Johnson's nose is visible from space.
Could use it as a method of establishing an off-planet colony at one of the LeGrange points. Tie Johnson down & use his nose as a space ladder.
