PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[contadino]

Yeah, but she dragged it out, she won the vote in Dec. 2018, and didn't resign until 7th June 2019

It wouldn't take Boris a month to change the rules and start sending MPs who voted against him to Rwanda.

May survived by promising shed fuck off within a year or something iirc.

Those 54 letters to our Lord and Savior, Sir Graham Brady, seem almost inevitable now, so a vote of no confidence will be happening at some point. What will the Liar Johnson and his cabal proffer next to win the loyalty of scum MPs in marginal constituencies?

Bringing back gollywogs.

He'd bring back the rotted corpse of Winston Churchill as first sea lord if he thought it'd win him votes in any vonc

Thatch didn’t lose the vote either. And she still got more votes than Major. I think it was a different system though.

Excellent point.

It was a different system. I wasnt a confidence vote but an actual leadership challenge. The challenger - hesletine - got just enough votes to force a second ballot. At this point the cabinet lined up to tell he she was fucked.

Oh frabjous day.

Thatcher was divisive, but she had a vision and may have thought she was actually doing good, getting through the pain, and getting to the sunlit uplands of Thatcherism. It didn't and people are still feeling the pain of her legacy.

Johnson just doesn't have a vision apart from wanting to receive vainglorious adoration for himself from anyone he considers important. He's surrounded himself with 'yes people' and allowed them to do what the fuck they like. So they are allowed to put their own prejudices into law and distribute money as they see fit, as long as they pay homage to the Big Dog. So fuck the poor and asylum seekers, fuck the environment, fuck business big and small. Take the money from the corporate landlords, the Russians and tax avoiders and try to cover it up.

But people have seen through Boris the jovial bumbling buffoon and have discovered Alex the sleazy incompetent shithead. A lot of people may not be dyed-in-the-wool lefties but they are on the whole most definitely not alt-right Trumpers, the few alt-rights we do have make the most noise, but as seen by GBeebies and Piers Morgan Unwatched. They just aren't that many of them.

The best medium-term outcome for Johnson is to very narrowly win the VONC. So the Tories continue to rip themselves apart up until the General Election. But can the country cope in the meantime and who would take over if he did go.

Next year is a real problem for them. They've handed over all this money to help with the cost of living, but what about next year.

A question for the net 38.8% would be: Name 1 good thing that Jacob Rees-Mogg has done in his capacity as Minister for Brexit Opportunities.

A follow up question would be: Name 1 thing that Jacob Rees-Mogg has done in his capacity as Minister for Brexit Opportunities.

Same with Thérese Coffey, amongst others. Don't get that at all.

Johnson would change the system if required, after the vote, to be more like Pointless.

I can see him at the 1922 standing up and saying ‘best of three”…

Two more Tory MPs have come out today questioning his position, earlier Simon Fell who is one of the red wall MPs elected in 2019, and now Caroline Dinenage elected in 2010 and served as a minister in various roles from 2015 to 2021.

That will probably be it until next week, I doubt any will come out over the long weekend, it wouldn't look good to be pissing on the Queen's parade.

I bailed out at 4:48 of the Mumsnet video - didn't help that my unionist, sociialist dad was harrumphing from where he's sat at the dining table, because he could hear the blustering.

fuck me the state of the plank suppose to be running the country,

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

She probably knew what he was like. Why this idea that she’s some innocent. Don’t get me wrong all the attacks about it’s her fault XYZ is happening are sexist crap. But there’s no reason to suppose she’s just been duped or something.

Quite.

It's neither all her fault - she's an individual who's responsible for her own actions, she's not responsible for his, although they've arguably both been complicit to at least a certain extent in the other's actions at times - nor is she some ingenue who's been duped. She's apparently an intelligent woman who was influential in the Conservative Party in her own right before getting involved with him. (Although fuck knows what she sees in him.)

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

He's smirking at the end of that. Thinks it's funny. He thinks it's funny that people think he's an habitual liar who can't be believed. He just really doesn't give a shit what anyone else thinks. Everything's a jolly jape and he's got the last laugh.

The man has bounced from failure to failure to ever greater success, for him it is a joke. He's never had to face consequences of his actions or deal with regrets. A soft cushion of white male poshboy privilege has cocooned him his entire life and it's all just a game.
