PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Petcha]

First Tom Tugendhat and Theresa May, now John Major. Whose boots will you be wistfully yearning for the taste of next?

It's a low bar... but well. Who would you like to be in charge?

If we're going for fantasy picks, then literally anyone who isn't a Tory would be a start.

Not sure where to put this but LOL

I think it's very easy for former prime ministers to sound statesmanlike and sensible - even Theresa May, who's stint as prime minister was particularly gross, is seen as some beacon of good sense from the back benches. They operate in a world of fantasy though. Their record in office is how you should judge them, not their fine word now they don't have any power.

The PM that did the disasterous Pandemic response execercise that she she buried, that probably had a hand in why PPE availablity was when Covid, the PM when this happened . The PM that had Amber Rudd take flack for Windrush decisions taken when Theresa May was Home Secretery.


we are still enduring the concequences of her 'good sense' and John Major's for that matter.

Does he think UK had nothing to say or that the UK wasn't listening?

Ответ на это говорит больше о российской позиции, чем о чем-либо еще.

Kevin McGuire, on Sky news last night, referred to Truss as a modern Mr Benn, just dressing up and getting location photos to pretend she’s actually useful.

The difference is people like Mr Benn

Good long study of Liz Truss in the FT the other day

How Liz Truss transformed herself from also-ran to potential PM​

...her talking over people and ploughing ahead unprepared seems to be a regular feature of her M.O.
Kind of an interesting outsider figure who could just be PM lord help us all

Yeh, I know. It was hypothetical. Im sure he wouldnt want it considering he's just said he basically wants to get rid of anti-protest laws, shake up the commons, get rid of lobbying and get rid of the house of lords. I can't see that flying with the party.

Major's government was dominated y various forms of lobbying, cash for questions and other assorted sleaze.
