Well she should get a second job if she wants to eat, then.

an epitaph for boris johnson
boris johnson hic jacet
qui nobis (mortuus) valde placet;
amicus minime fidelis,
amarus hostis et crudelis
quaenam conditio sit futura
ambigitue, sed, spero dura
si coelum scandet iste pestis
vale, concordia celestis,
si apud inferos jacebit,
diabolum ejus poenitebit
et nos diaboli miserebit
which of course freely translates as
here lie the bones of boris johnson
a treacherous friend, a bitter foe.
whither his restless soul has fled,
may not be thought, much less be said
if to the realms of peace and love,
farewell to happiness above;
if haply to some lower level
we can't congratulate the devil

Christ, I've just watched the interview with GMB . Susanna was absolutely brilliant.
Kept pushing him on people with disabilities and on benefits.
Looks like he had major acid near the end, hope the fuckers got ulcers.

Another thing he'll get away with. He'll lie and lie again, he'll be as flippant about people's lives as he likes. Doesn't matter that hundreds of people call him out on it, that's as far as it ever goes* and that's what pisses me off the most. There should be riots in every city.
*Oh and a few fines that won't even touch him, and certainly won't stop him living a charmed life.

I dunno. Swimming against the tide and all that - it behoves all of us to register our objections and complaints.
For what they're worth.
Jewels of dissent.

Definitely. It's just frustrating that he's not held to account for things that are so damaging and that'd cost anyone else their job if they came close to doing.
Still, he definitely knows on some level that history'll judge him harshly, and that's a small positive.
The Tories need to be attacked with tales of working people families that are facing crises. The poor the marginal don’t matter. They are outliers, they are just there to be pitied or probably made bad choices. It’s also so negative. No one likes being reminded they could be near the bottom. But attack him on people that ostensibly should be doing quite well in Tory Britain. Don’t blame me, it’s just the optics. No one wants to hear about people struggling on benefits. People want to hear about why they’re not successful because there’s a shitty government.
His 'Who's Lorraine' question right at the end when Susanna Reid told him they had to end the interview so they could cross to her seems to be making bigger waves than Elsie. A cunning move from the fuckwit.
Also he was supposed to be doing a 45 minute interview, was supposed to start at 8.15, only got going at 8.30. Coward.

I’ve not seen much of Susanna Reid, but she’s pretty bloody good in that interview snippet. Exactly the right mix of letting him speak and then holding him to account on the specifics of his response — a tough thing to pull off. There are very few good at it these days.

Typical arrogance of Johnson - clearly thought that he could sprinkle his "boris magic" over the local elections by going on the TV sofas and being all bertie booster. Instead he repeatedly shoots himself in the foot. The response to the pensioner riding the bus to keep warm is straight out of "the thick of it" - a jaw dropping clanger displaying a complete lack of empathy or understanding (who knew?) . "whos lorraine?" only adds to the out of touch idiot narrative. Also worth bearing in mind that the crucial audience for this is not the public so much, but his own mps - who must be facepalming themselves to death.

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
I didn't watch the interview so I had to google "Boris Johnson Elsie" to get the reference. His answer is classic Boris though, trying to shame him is completely pointless, it's like trying to shame a cat. As for the people watching, a lot of people probably made the appropriate "This is Bad" noises but unless they can see themselves in that situation it's not likely to affect their vote. People vote on what affects or concerns them personally. The best chance for the Tory vote getting a kicking tomorrow is protests about the current cost of living crisis and his disdain for the rules that apply to the little people.

Johnson delivered Brexit, and that is all that matters in the eyes of Tories. He can get away with anything right now. Tomorrows results won't change anything.
George useless was on the telly this morning, still spinning the line we are all getting a £200 energy rebate in October, they still won't admit it's a loan we have to pay back.

I wouldnt bet any money against them ditching him after these elections. The brexit effect, the vaccine bounce etc faded quite quickly in the face of the cost of living crisis, and its a serious mistake to ignore the political ramifications of things that affect peoples finances.

Bad results tomorrow make it more likely that mps send the letters in. His bufoonery on the TV will only add to that.
He's been suffering a slow death since peppa pig and the lobbying u turn.
It might seem that he will cling on forever, and the war in Ukraine likley saved his arse in February but its only a stay of execution.

Whatever is called Brexit is not what was voted for in the 2016 referendum.
He has not ‘delivered’ (why does that word piss me off in this context, or most contexts?) ‘leave’ which is what was voted for, for the whole of the UK.
Boris Johnson has not delivered on the referendum vote, and he has left the country with what was called a ‘democratic deficit’.
