PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[elbows]

According to the BBC:

Betting firm Ladbrokes Politics have just suspended betting on "when will Boris Johnson be replaced as prime minister?"

They have also tweeted that the odds have shortened to 7/1 (from 12/1) on a general election being held this year.

 

[brogdale]

Oh happy day.

Yeah, but the slow, deep decay had been so satisfying...such a shame if this ends tonight.

Tories talking about Moral authority
and obligation

 

[Bingoman]

According to the BBC:

Members of the house of lords are openly talking about Johnsons going to call an snap election and weather the queen will reject his request

 

[Ax^]

will say one thing if this had been a whip groping a female tory or 2,
would it of had the same effect within the party...

 

[elbows]

Rees-Mogg repeatedly talking about "rumours" about Pincher, even when told there was an investigation, he apologised etc

Rees-Mogg also appears to think he is in the original British version of House of Cards.

Brexit Opportunities Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg also insists the PM can stay in office: “Over the centuries members of the Cabinet have come and gone and prime ministers who have a majority in the House of Commons are able to continue.”

Asked if it's a leadership pitch by Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid to resign, he adds: "You might think that, I couldn’t possibly comment.”

Who's this Chris Bryant guy on bbc? He talks quite well

 

[Flavour]

will be funny if there's a GE and tories win a majority and keir starmer doesn't quit as labour party leader and we all just get to carry on in this wonderfully acidic and uncomfortable timeline

Who's this Chris Bryant guy on bbc? He talks quite well

Welsh Labour the Chair of the Committees on Standards and Privileges.

had a bit of fun with the Mp Expenses Scandel and rescued himself from talking about cockwombles parties

 

[steeplejack]

Jonathan Gullis has resigned his PPS role

That is a bit of a surprise- that beady-eyed, beardy bag of hate, usually found whinging about "left wing groaners" on youtube & wants teachers who criticise the Tory Party sacked, was one of those whose corpse I expected Erich Kempka to be looking for gasoline to dispose of, a day or so after Johnson's departure.

Labour MP for Rhondda. Been in that job for what seems like a millennium.

 

[not a trot]

Mogg. He'll do a Walpole, he was in 21 years

And in those days, the majority of people didn't have the vote. Maybe that's what Mogg wants to go back to.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Another PPS gone

Integrity and honour.


Hahahahaha how do they come out with this bullshit

i find it really hard to believe this is really about the Pincher at all but then its kind of impossible to empathise with these people enough to guess what would be a last straw / oh shit this ship is really sinking moment for them.

 

[steveseagull]

I am predicting Penny Mordaunt and Nadhim Zahawi will go tonight or tomorrow morning. Both are leadership hopefuls.

Simon Hoare was scheduled but he has refused to do it.

Just a reminder. PMQs tomorrow lunch time then in the afternoon the PM is before the liaison committee.

It's more about Johnson being caught out lying yet again, and sending out ministers to defend him, all wrapped up in the Pincher case.

yeah but that has been a weekly ritual for years thats the point

Chris Pincher was pretty much a failure to learn from the calamitous handling of Owen Paterson's case. Lack of competence and the loss of a seat which normally would vote in a tick-ridden lame donkey if it had a blue rosette on meant that he had no more gaffes left.

Of course he blundered on and is probably regaling mad Nad and Chris Heaton-Harris in the cabinet room currently, with his plans for a world-beating space port in Redcar, the international hub for a tunnel to the moon, as his main infrastructure project for his fourth term in office.

Looking forward to Hunt vs Streeting or whatever hobson's we get at the next GE.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

I bet the queen is trying to book a flight to Balmoral for tomorrow so she's not in when Boris comes calling

 

[steeplejack]

Looking forward to Hunt vs Streeting or whatever hobson's we get at the next GE.

Galloping Privatisation of the NHS vs. trotting privatisation of the NHS.

what a shit choice.

[existentialist]

As David Davis predicted during PMQs, back in January, if Johnson didn't go, he and the party would suffer death by a thousand cunts, and and so it comes to pass.
