PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[cupid_stunt]

No surprise here:

THE Speaker has said MPs must "convene without delay" as the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's prorogation was illegal.

Speaker John Bercow calls for Parliament to reconvene 'without delay'

Full statement...

I welcome the supreme court’s judgment that the prorogation of parliament was unlawful. The judges have rejected the government’s claim that closing down parliament for five weeks was merely standard practice to allow for a new Queen’s speech.

In reaching their conclusion, they have vindicated the right and duty of parliament to meet at this crucial time to scrutinise the executive and hold ministers to account. As the embodiment of our parliamentary democracy, the House of Commons must convene without delay. To this end, I will now consult the party leaders as a matter of urgency.

he can still try to prorogue

He will have some fucking next level stupidity to just trying kicking this can down the road again

I am grinning while picturing him in his office yelling and blaming people

might lead to cummings receiving his p45...

Pity poor Johnson's girlfriend. I would not want to be on the receiving end.

Don't forget, his misled her Majesty. Orf with his head.

What odds on him falling on his sword? I'd be surprised myself but I'm not well up on this stuff.

Seriously though, what would stop him.

People are getting a bit carried away IMO. Ruled unlawful is not the same as illegal. Not like Johnson's going to get fined, imprisoned, or compelled by the threat there of to take a particular course of action.

Not being a buzz kill, it is still pretty funny of course.

Can't see it because of this tbh. If he quits at some point it won't be because he's fucked everything up and thinks he should, it'll be because the job isn't as fun as he thought and he'd rather go back to his directorships and Telegraph columns.

This is the thing I'm worried about. There's no shame in modern politics. Only outcomes. If it's not going to effect him personally or legally he could stick two fingers up and pro rogue again. Run the clock down by any means necessary.

 

[Argonia]

This is fucking hilarious, De Pfeffel must be the least successful PM in history!

 

[xenon]

The following is known by everyone.

Johnson has a reputation for being lazy and winging it.
Multiple demonstrable instances of lying to the public.
Multiple accusations of misuse of public funds.

But people think a legal faux pah is going to have him resign or forced out.

pfft.

Worth a repost

At some point very soon, I'll be having a little celebratory drink to this moral victory even if it changes little. . Cheers everyone.

 

[Badgers]

Are there any new #JohnsonOut petitions we should all be signing?

 

[cupid_stunt]

Apparently the front page of the Evening Standard has a photo of Johnson, with 'guilty' stamped over it.

George Osborne must be wetting himself.

And behind bars.
The way to go may be an urgent recall if parliament and a vote of no confidence. If he was ousted the Door could be opened for the 21 Tories that lost the whip to return.

Tort of misfeasance in public office might cause him some trouble if Miller's team is so minded.

 

[danny la rouge]

Really, given what we now know, the Queen needs to resign. Her position is untenable.

Well, she knows that signing an OiC is not a guarantee of efficacy. Her advisors will be panicked.

Where panicked means “executed”?

where it means labouring on the great project to drain falkland sound

so yes, executed

What about that ludicrous display?

 

[Poi E]

Anyway, a decision that upholds and undermines the constitution. Only in UK.

a broad swathe of political opinion believes arsene wenger would never have been taken in by the mountebank johnson

It's a funny old game...
