PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

I was pretty surprised at how sure people in Urban were that he didn't have the sigs.
I dare say It was pretty late in the day that he actually reached the mark, some days after the initial claims from his 'camp', either way he knew he wasnt gonna win it so dropped out to try save face...it didnt work only the wank and file Tory membership fall for that crap

Knew he wasn't gonna win what? He never needed or wanted to win the MPs vote.

yeh as maomao says, if there were two candidates with at least 100 nominations each and neither withdrew then the 'wank and file tory membership' were to decide the contest.
 
maybe maybe not

until I've seen some proof rather than a statement from Tory I still think it's smoke and mirrors to keep Boris rep in tack
 
Seems that he bottled running for the leadership because if he'd lost it would've hit his earning potential...

That's total bollocks. With the rapid way they were doing the contest, he was officially out of the race Monday afternoon, but it would taken have been hardly any extra time if he had put his name down and no-one would have noticed the difference.

Plus, there's no way on earth he would have lost with the party membership.

Only if he came third and that seems unlikely (as Mourdant didn't have enough votes to get in until he dropped out).

I'm sceptical about the whole claim he secured enough backers, and suspect that the whole story is intended to alienate some of his swivel eyed supporters.

Interesting that if he had 101 backers, that 54 of them were so ashamed that they wanted to remain anonymous.

I don't care whether he genuinely could attract 10p, £10m or £20m per year. What's important is that he thinks he can make more outside Westminster than in government.
 
Remain anonymous or just didn't bother emailing Guido? There was no official public count no matter how much people on the internet wanted to believe they had access to genuine information.
A lot (most?) Tory skidmarks went public re who they were backing, as much to placate their constituents as in the hope of getting a government paycheck.
