PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[teqniq]

They are all completely inadequate to the task at hand and in fact have no real interest in addressing the issues that we face.

the new PM could just not have a reshuffle immediately. put it off a few weeks and everyone stays in place for the sake of stability.

but tbh apart from the few major jobs (foreign office, defence, home office, …) are there any that really the disruption a change of minister would have much impact on the UK's response to the Russian invasion ?

Have you seen the worldwide leaders response to Boris Johnsons input on ukraine



we need this gobshite in a world crisis as much as need a hold in the head
No matter how the tory party tries to portay the prick as uniting the western response

 

[teqniq]

I dont know how it works TBH. Would there need to be a leadership contest immediately and Raab take over while that drags on?

The man who thought the sea was closed? Just... no.

 

[magneze]

There's always a war on somewhere. Not sure why this one means we have to keep Johnson around. Unless Putin wears the same shoes. In that case there's a chance he'll shoot him in the foot by accident I suppose.

Peston seems to have had some sort of epiphany:

 

[two sheds]

Should be Rees Mogg he could start assembling cavalry and musketeer divisions right away.

Should be Rees Mogg he could start assembling cavalry and musketeer divisions right away.

TBF Mogg would look good on the balcony of the Banqueting House...

Should be Rees Mogg he would get his nanny to start assembling cavalry and musketeer divisions right away.

CTFY

good question
I know that the Conservative party rulebook gives the 1922 committee and the party board a good deal of leeway in agreeing exactly how each contest will be run each time it comes up (timelines, etc). but dunno how much exactly.

fwiw, May became 'acting leader' for June / July 2019 after she resigned. rather than only loosing the leadership position after the contest.
but you would imagine if ousted in a no-confidence vote that they'd appoint a different acting leader rather than stay on. you'd hope so anyway.

Hmmm... I wonder. Raab got demoted from foreign secretary around the same time all these leaks came out which he was extremely pissed off about. Demanded to be Deputy PM at least instead, which Boris agreed to. And now he's potentially going to be PM himself in the very near future as these leaks bring Boris down.

Is he that machiavellian?

He didn't know that Dover was a port.

Peston seems to have had some sort of epiphany:

he is just bitter because noone rang him up to tell him what was happening

 

[Sue]

He didn't know that Dover was a port.

That's what he wanted us to think, being a Machavellian mastermind and all.

only if he being doing a serious keyser soze impression for years


be surprised if they don't have to write L and R into his shoes

 

[Artaxerxes]

Noones got time to draw little stick figures for everything that needs explaining to him

 

[Leighsw2]

As much as loathe Boris, I really dont think this is the right moment for regime change here in the UK. There's something else a little more pressing happening elsewhere which I think he should be focusing on.

I think at least wait until we see how it plays out in the East of Ukraine over the next week or two.

I remind you that the Chamberlain Government fell after the Norway debate and was replaced by the Churcill-led coalition just at the point where France was being invaded by Germany in May 1940. So, no, I don't think Johnson should stay!

 

[existentialist]

Whoever had Dorries scoops the sweepstake

TBF, she probably hasn't quite understood the situation. What might be basic principles to us are as quantum chromodynamics to her...

 

[teqniq]

Shitloads of vermin MP's on Twitter repeating the mantra that we ought to 'move on'. Like fuck we do.

 

[Calamity1971]

Journalist outside number 10 on itv, and there's a crowd playing ' you've got a fight for your right to party'

4D chess.

Raab and Putin playing 4D chess all this time. Now it all makes sense.

Good grief. he is is one of the least suited people in the country to be dealing with this. Get rid. ASAP

He really does look like Billy 'No Mates' Bunter in that vid. It's not a wonder we're a laughing stock.

What angers me about the smug cunt is there are a number of people who toed the line during the pandemic not just because of their social responsibility but also because they knew if they didn't and got caught it could have serious ramifications for their jobs. What a fine example we have running this country.

job is one thing and i understand but the people who put thier lives on hold, people who lost people


Boris the Granny snatcher


but he could have a drink whilst doing it

Lovely bit of reportage here, in a nutshell:

 

[Lord Camomile]

I sincerely doubt this is true.
