PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Sue]

Liz Truss is 100% behind the PM apparently. Well good she can follow him when he goes!!

They're always 100% behind them until they're not/stabbing them in the back.

Twitter trend is just "IT'S HAPPENING"

Always best to be 100% behind someone when planning a stab.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Just need Gove to stick the knife in.

His speech just says “Boris is an honourable man”

 

[JimW]

Al Pacino desk full of coke time.

 

[Wilf]

Dorries just turned up at no. 10. He's either seeking her wise counsel or being offered Javid'd job.

 

[killer b]

Truss won't either - she needs to pick up the swivel-eyed Boris brigade for her leadership run ( in fact just announced she won't be as I was writing!)

everyone with a double letter in their name is staying by the looks of it.

Or a blowie behind the desk again

need to get Bing Bong Bojos dead threading

 

[contadino]

Guardian now speculating that the 1922 rules could be changed with current committee.

 

[quiet guy]

Knowing Johnson he'll be offering her Sunak's...

 

[Calamity1971]

Twitter trend is just "IT'S HAPPENING"

Bye bye Boris, cabinet

 

[bimble]

what happens then, do we just not have a chancellor or health sec for a while or is there a stand-in or what? Liz Truss will probably be given both jobs, to add to her portfolio.

Johnson will rapidly move to replace them but other events may make this irrelevant.

how would this force him to stand down? He could just appoint any craven twit to the jobs and carry on.

 

[JimW]

Hear Pincher's at a loose end.

Obviously as a man of integrity he examines his conscience then considers the good of the nation and his party...ah, see what you mean.

 

[spitfire]

Oh this has cheered me up no end.

 

[stdP]

Hear Pincher's at a loose end.

Chancer of the Excheckhimout.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Much as I’ll love seeing Boris getting knifed, I’d rather he stays on, causing further splits and chaos. With someone new in place they still have time to turn things around and win another election.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Hear Pincher's at a loose end.

Someone Pinchered one out

 

[quiet guy]

Fabricant will be praying he gets the call to help Big Dog

 

[bimble]

oh i see its this sort of thing
"Johnson is famously stubborn, and he is unlikely to quit just because two ministers have decided to go. But increasingly Conservative MPs believe they have no chance of winning the next election under his leadership. Ultimately that assessment should prove decisive.."

so its about them possibly changing the rules & defenestrating him

 

[Sue]

Because of them knowing which side their bread's buttered on. I mean did Javid and Sunak (for example) resign because of principles and stuff? No, they resigned because it was making them look bad and if they're ever to launch a leadership bid....

 

[Bingoman]

Oh God no

 

[bimble]

what do you mean, nobody would take the chancellor job to shore up the illusion of a functioning governmnet? i bet they will probably by end of tomorrow.
