A reboot at No 10? You might as well try to reboot the reactor at Chernobyl | Marina Hyde

Keir Starmer’s depressing encounter with a mob shows Boris Johnson’s new ‘grownups’ really have their work cut out, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

www.theguardian.com

Having been instrumental in forcing the last two prime ministers out of office, Boris Johnson is on a hat-trick. Can he do it? Can Big Dog play his cards in such a way that a third prime ministerial scalp will be his – his in more ways than one? The answer feels like a hard yes, but this never-ending Greek tragedy is certainly taking its time. How’s your stamina? Like me, you maybe feel the Boristeia is dragging on a bit. Seemingly three plays in, Shagamemnon is still with us.

It's an amusing piece, worth reading in full.

I suspect that the pollsters were attempting to gauge respondents views regarding political discourse post-Brexit( post-Johnson as a significant player) and alighted on 5 rather than 6 years. Not sure it's a biggie, tbh.

No biggie? Where's your sense of outage on behalf of other people. Whom ever thought that should be tarred feathered and forced to live in Coventry

I imagine Johnson has always had to spread out Valentine’s Day – you can’t be in that many places at once

Definitely a classic line

OK, I geddit.

 

[Dogsauce]

More letters in please! It’s almost like they’ve managed to stem the bleeding away of authority somehow.

Isn‘t there some ten day parliamentary recess now which basically means nothing will happen and the whole shitshow wIll blow over? Is the slippery cunt safe?

 

[cupid_stunt]

The commons are in recess from 10th - 21st Feb., but that doesn't stop MPs putting their letters in.

apart from they are member of the tory party

easily bought as the last 1922 meeting has shown

It takes in out of the public eye though, I'm starting to think he has got away with it yet again.

She's a bit good.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Lol, no she's not.

Carrie Johnson is influential in the Conservative Party though, she did have a senior role in the party. It's neither misogynistic nor victim-blaming to point that out. No, she's not to blame for Boris' fuckwittery and decisions, but, yes, she also has agency, and has apparently influenced decisions, such as hiring and firing, she's not the little lady sitting at home and twiddling her thumbs and ignorant and innocent of all that Boris Johnson does. It's neither one thing nor the other, ie it's not all on Boris and it's not all on Carrie, they are each culpable for their own actions and decisions.

Carrie Symonds is a serious political player — so it’s not sexist to ask ‘What’s her game?’

What to make of Carrie Symonds? Depending on whom you ask, she is either the devil in a posh dress, an innocent young woman wishing to save the planet, or just

Off to an excellent start. He's not a complete clown. Maybe just a bit of a clown?

They'd have to post it and they're to cheap to buy the stamp.

What do you think their expenses are for...?

Not quite on the subject of gravy but when I lived in Manchester in 74 there were curry shops all the way up Wilmslow Road? and regular stories about hard men drinking neat curry and having to go to hospital to have their stomach pumpted.

Was 'the curry mile' for a long time, although in recent years a lot of the 'Indian' (more usually Bangladeshi) curry houses have closed and reopened as Middle Eastern/Arab food and shisha places.

 

[weepiper]

Apologies if we've already had this (I can't keep up) but Nicola Sturgeon not pulling her punches here

 

[Puddy_Tat]

& I appreciate that maybe the flaw in the argument I'm about to make

^ that

i may not agree with Sturgeons politics but fuck me, she is the most competent /on top of her game of the lot over the past couple of years

 

[DaveCinzano]

A nice little throwaway spotted in a long thread:

...a horny Honey Monster in a suit he’s borrowed for a tribunal...

You have heard about the school doors? ANd NYE was a thing in England thankfully. Still, glad things miracualously improved in time for the Culcutta cup.

Boris Johnson regretted backing Brexit, says No 10 spin doctor

[Boris Sprinkler]

But the russians said that Brexit means Brexit, by dropping Novichok as a reminder as to what was agreed.

Sabotaging your country, purely to further your political ambitions? Surely not?

Boris Johnson's leadership past point of no return, says big Tory donor​

Boris Johnson's premiership is "past the point of no return" and he should resign, says a financier who has given the Conservatives more than £3m. John Armitage told the BBC that challenges facing the West demanded "serious, engaged" politicians.

"Politicians should go into politics to do good for their country," Mr Armitage added. "That is the overwhelming reason to be in politics. I don't think it's about your own personal sense of getting to the top of a snakes-and-ladders game."

It's all a game to people like him. It's one bloody train set and he can play wrecks.

It's all he can play, wrecks. Everything he's touched has turned to shit

Is this a best chip shop thread now?

There used to be a really good one in Monton, Eccles, in the 1970s/80sbefore Monton went all up market. They'd chuck on extra scraps for you for nowt, and the baby's head was decent.

Some decent chippies in the Smoke, the one on Kingsland Road (Faulkeners I think) was good. They did their own fish cakes. Couldn't get fucking gravy on your chips anywhere in London though

My 2 favs are Ercan Fish Bar in Upton Park and the SeaShell on Lisson Grove in Marylebone.
