PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[cupid_stunt]

Having been sacked by GB News, Guto Harri was clearly despite for a new job, and has taken one with someone who he described as “digging his political grave”.

But it soon emerged that in 2018, when Johnson was Foreign Secretary, Harri was highly critical of his behaviour.
Referring to a column Johnson had written accusing then PM Theresa May’s Brexit deal of wrapping “a suicide vest around the British constitution”, Harri told the BBC: “Unfortunately he is now dragging us into a place where we think that we can joke about suicide vests and that we can be sexually incontinent.

“Somebody needs to take the spade out of his hand or it looks to me like he’s digging his political grave.
“He was a huge unifying figure by the end of my time with him when the Olympics happened in London. He would not have been re-elected in a left-leaning city like London if he hadn’t appealed to the left.”
“Now he’s gone the other way. He’s become more tribal, and tribal within the tribe, so that he would now be — if he were to become leader — a hugely divisive figure.”

Perhaps he just likes a challenge

Although I think he's dug his own, career, grave. Hopefully. It must be hard to find something that's a step down from a GBN gig

The one good thing about Boris Johnson is that when he is finally flushed into the sewer of history he'll take a lot of other shits with him

Interesting interview with Walker.

Boris Johnson’s desperate efforts to save his premiership were undermined on Saturday as one of his most loyal backbench supporters said it was now “inevitable” that Tory MPs would remove him from office over the “partygate” scandal.

In an interview with the Observer, Sir Charles Walker, a former vice-chairman of the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservative MPs, implored the prime minister to go of his own accord in the national interest, and likened events in the Tory party to a Greek tragedy.

“It is an inevitable tragedy,” Walker said. “He is a student of Greek and Roman tragedy. It is going to end in him going, so I just want him to have some agency in that.”

Walker is understood not to have submitted a letter of no confidence in Johnson himself. But on Saturday night Tory backbenchers who have been trying to “crunch numbers” said they thought those wanting to ditch Johnson were only 10 to 20 short of the 54 letters that need to be submitted to the chair of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady.

Some Conservative MPs said they believed about 40 to 45 letters were in or pending, while another estimate that was circulating suggested the number was closer to the “early 30s”.

The Observer understands that several MPs who have yet to go public are likely to put in letters early this week, before MPs go away for a 10-day recess on Thursday. “The recess would be a time for the prime minister to regroup so there will be an incentive to get the names in before then,” said one Tory source.

Probably wants to get out so he can go back to what he used to be paid

As he has spent years working towards becoming PM, and wanted to serve longer than Thatcher, I think on this occasion he does care, and he'll be hurt if he's booted out soon.

Exactly.

But Thatcher was competent in what she was doing. Totally Wrong, but put the hard work in. Johnson is just lazy and entitled.

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

Yes. The end result of Thatcherism. We should really commend him for finally killing the tories.

Oh he definitely cares. Not only the fact he's going to be booted out but also by the fact he'll be booted out in personal disgrace. His whole life has been that of course but he wouldn't have wanted to leave the job like this. I can't think of a post war prime minister booted out because they've behaved like he has.

Rather than Thatcher, I imagine he now wants to serve longer than Theresa May else it is embarrassing for him.

He may jump rather than be pushed?

I rather he stayed, the more the younger voters see of the natural tory the better

According to The Times, one senior adviser said: "He’s making very clear that they’ll have to send a Panzer division to get him out of there."

I didn't think Shipman's latest was up to his usual standard - reckon a few of his sources have clammed up (or resigned I suppose)

The man's a menace. Despite being hospitalised with it himself. Despite one of the worst per capita death rates in the world. And despite his own infant daughter being quite badly hit by Covid...

Boris Johnson’s daughter Romy was ‘badly hit’ with Covid at five-weeks-old

The prime minister cancelled a public appearance last week after Downing Street confirmed an unidentified family member tested positive for coronavirus.

www.independent.co.uk

It's like his attitude to precautions against a Covid is akin to his precautions against pregnancy, ie not for him. I reckon he's one of those whiney petulant men who won't use condoms and insists on sex without them because he doesn't like them - and fuck the consequences for the women. Similar attitude to anti-Covid precautions, petulantly doesn't want to and fuck the consequences for anyone else.

isn't he officially catholic as of his latest marriage anyway?

mistresses

is there a term for the male lover of a married woman? I can't bring it to mind for some reason

 

[killer b]

I guess it's just 'lover' isn't it, which seems a much more neutral term. almost gallant.
