PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

Grant Schapps on Sky news. Such a sychophant, he is going on about not seeing his late father during lockdown, yet still defends Johnson, they really have no shame.

I was typing as you posted -

Grant Shapps on Sky News, whilst trotting out the Downing Street lines - these events have been investigated by the police & Sue Gray / Johnson has apologised / fines have been issued - isn't exactly defending Johnson with lines like 'I am disappointed with what happened in Downing Street', 'I wasn't happy with events in Downing Street', 'I don't seek to defend it'.

ETA - BTW he lost his father to covid.
 
Just waiting for all those spineless wanker scum whose mantra was “waiting for the Sue Gray report” to now turn to the by-elections as justification for their craven enabling. And so the frog is slowly brought to the boil.

The only people who can remove him are tory MPs. Johnson gutted the party of anyone who wasn't loyal to him, and so there haven't been any challenges to him.
I'm sure there's whispering in the corridors but until an MP has the balls to stand up and say they want to be leader, Johnson will stay.
 
It's called the Drossed Effect - dross within dross within dross, infinitely
I have so much faith in your puns that when I didn’t understand this one, I assumed that the problem was with my lack of knowledge rather than your poor effort. So I looked it up and was rewarded. For those who, like me, didn’t know: there is something called the “droste effect”, which is an art term about pictures within pictures. Well done Dave.
 
He won't resign. He'll have to be dragged out by his trotters. And that'll take ages because the tories are a bunch of poltroons.
Intellectually I hope you are right on the first. Sadly you are letting your own propaganda woo you on the second. Tory MPs are quick and willing to stick the knives into leaders once the see their own place at the trough is in danger. In a way, sadly, Labour aren’t. Just look at what they did to, who to many Torys was a living saint in Thatch.
 
jeremy corbyn entirely passed you by then.
No. Did Labour getting wiped out across the North in the most predictable and predicted defeat since Jon de Lyon decided to swap his knights’’ horses for Dachshunds in 1319 pass you by?

for a usually astute and well-informed poster it's a great disappointment to see how you remember december 2019 but you don't remember the preceding four years in which from the moment corbyn was elected to the leadership of the labour party a very significant proportion of the parliamentary labour party subverted his leadership and vilified him at every turn. knives were thrust in not just the back but the front and sides as well, and if they hadn't been metaphorical there'd have been blood in the chamber of the commons.

But they still didn’t have the guts to oust him in a leadership campaign. That’s my point. The Tories would have fucked a similar leader off 18 months in.

Their problem was that the vote had to go to the membership wasn't it. Hence the Owen Smith debacle. They'd have had him out in a week if they could have done it by a no confidence vote of MPs.
 
I think most Labour leaders would have bowed out if they weren't able to command the confidence of the parliamentary party, as tends to happen when the Tory MPs get the knives out - as we saw, it makes it impossible to operate: the reason Corbyn hung on is because he knew it was the only shot the left had at controlling the party for a generation. As we're currently seeing.
 
Anyway back to the our sewage farm of a government and the shit pipe in chief.

The met's collusion in protecting him has probably made things even worse for Johnson - and dragged them into the cesspool as well. At some point the toxicity and stench will overpower him. Grays report will deliver a further blow. And than there's the "did he lie to parliament?" enquiry. Which should take about 10 seconds to reach the obvious conclusion of "yes - repeatedly and blatantly" . It seems the cabinet have decided to cling onto to floating turd through thick and thin - but at some point something has got to give.

Cabinet has to, with one, (perhaps two?)exception they are all second rate lightweights only put there so as not to challenge ‘Big Dig’ a significant majority of them know this too. They get their noses rubbed in it most days at work, not primarily in the House but in their departments where a fair number of junior ministers, whilst having shit politics obvs, are actually pretty competent at the day to day stuff- again a deliberate policy by the Cummings machine.

The current cabinet are all probably trying to come up with a plan to oust Johnson without all of them getting blown away on the winds of history as a joke in the footnotes (with only their multi million fortunes to console them).

The big danger to the electoral left ( wanky reformists like me) is a young, fairly competent cabinet going large on ‘old fashioned one nation conservatism’ dripping contrition for the sins of Johnson and Cummings and lead by a youngish probably northern, possibly female leader none but the most nerdy on here have heard of. - I don’t know who specifically.

you have effaced 2016 from your memory - and who can blame you. you've forgotten the labour leadership contest of that year: which goes some way to undermining your they didn't have the guts bit
