PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[JimW]

Come on Gove. Hand in the letter you useless bastard.

That'll do for him.

He should pop round envelope in hand, enjoy the look on Johnson's face, then just announce he picked up his post as he was passing the pigeonhole.

He has turned up for the liaison committee lol

But what if he doesn't budge, even despite Michael Gove, even despite slippery Liam Fox? Even if the Tories successfully sack him as party leader, he's still PM until HM sacks him.
Here's the constitutionalist David Allen Green on how the constitutional crisis could unfold.

What if Boris Johnson refuses to resign?

6th July 2022 Since 2016 we have had in the United Kingdom a great deal of constitutional drama. We have had a referendum; supreme court cases; departure from the European Union; a hung parliament;…

Theres a certain strand of the media etc that loves hyping up the potential for constitutional crisis stuff exploding before our very eyes. I dont tend to buy into it unless it becomes the most likely eventuality, and even then there is usually a way to defuse matters, some unconventional mechanism ends up being deployed in the service of the establishment.

Granted Johnsons nature, like Trumps, makes these sorts of possibilities a bit more likely, but there are usually still clear limits beyond which they cannot survive, its just a question of when exactly they realise and come to accept that. Johnson may try to clutch at straws and make the final days messier, but it wont work and even he could give up at any moment.

Yes, crisis, what crisis? It will be interesting to discover what those limits are. He's still saying he won't resign.

One of the praetorian guards turns up with a short sword and offers to hold it if he can't do the deed outright himself.

 

[TopCat]

I hope he clings on beyond all absurdity.

 

[brogdale]

The radio has just gone live to the Commons liaison Committee and blustercunt has turned up. I was wrong.

Last chance to hear him lie live as PM?

 

[Smangus]

Hoping he throws a massive tantrum that gets leaked on a recording

It's live on Sky News.

From a Bloomberg News reporter...



Makes sense as to why Gove & Coffey hasn't yet resigned.

If anybody should want him to stay on, it's the Labour Party. The longer he's in there, the more permanent damage he does to the Tories, and the more chance it will actually stick until the next election.

According to the bloomberg tweet in the post above yours, Brady's offering Johnson the choice of fucking off straight away, or agreeing a timetable for leaving. I suspect we'll get the latter because a) nobody wants Raab in change even for a second, and b) Johnson will try to wriggle out of it.

Either way, the government is currently unable to operate, and it gives the tories less time to turn it around before a GE.

I know it's highly unlikely he'll stay on to trigger a VONC or constitutional crisis, but Christ, if anyone has it in them, no-one else would still be here at this point.....
Almost rooting for the wanker to cling on

He'll be offering a job to Peppa Pig soon.

I think Chris Pincher is available.

 

[elbows]

I'm not really looking forward to the prospect of him being left in place as the worlds worst caretaker while a successor is found, given what summer probably does to that timetable. He is incapable of taking care.

 

[spitfire]

So is that 29.5?

Wonder if he will start his own party, can graft money out of the gullible, get plenty of attention and get revenge on the tories at the next election.
