will Boris Johnson resign next year , a baseless speculation thread

[bimble]

I've got no real reason for thinking this but i do, a man who thought it would be a laugh to be prime minister is instead having a shit time of it and I reckon he'll stand down at some point next year and get on with writing a book about being the Pm which was always stage two of his hollow life's ambition.

 

[frogwoman]

I think he'll be out by the end of January tbh

 

[Roadkill]

I think he'll be forced out early next year. He'll be left in place long enough to carry the can for the Brexit disruption, and then unceremoniously defenestrated.

 

[ska invita]

if he goes Id bet on Spring. Cant just jump immediately as soon as Brexit "happens".

walking or pushed?

A bit of both.

I'd agree usually but I also think he has health problems with Long Covid and doesn't really want to do it any more, that and Cummings going makes his job even more pointless

 

[Favelado]

Cummings resigns AND the Yorkshire Ripper's dead. There's a knock at the front door - is it Beyoncé?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I can't imagine he wants to be in charge when brexit hits. Who would? Doesn't look like like DC does either.

He's left it too late, no chance to hand over to someone else before the end of the year

It's cliff richard come to suck out johnson's soul using his dead dead eyes

Other options are available

Supposedly Bannon remained in close contact with Trump throughout...if BJ stays Id imagine Cummings will continue to "influence" likewise
Too much power to walk away so quickly so soon

 

[SpookyFrank]

I think he's managed to get expectations so low that anything short of utter calamity come January will seem like a great personal triumph for him. He's already done this once with his last 'oven ready' deal, which people were too busy being relieved by to notice was just a shitter version of May's deal.

I'm surprised you thought it would be a laugh to have an incompetent ignorant narcissistic racist in number 10

E2A read at speed repent at leisure

 

[two sheds]

He'll be like Trump calling from the letter box "I'm not coming out"

 

[bimble]

this picture, yesterdays front page of telegraph, added to my feeling that he's not going to be there very long.

 

[ska invita]

The timing with Trump leaving the building may be coincidence, but i cant help but wonder

That's why I reckon he'll shortly follow him out the door. And Johnson is basically a pound shop Trump, and with him gone looks even more ridiculous

Think she's saying Johnson thought it would be a laugh not that she did?

To be fair Johnson's always looked more ridiculous

Good point well made

Though the fact the Telegraph chose that picture for the front page is perhaps most telling

I've always liked that photo of him on the bench with lk

The worst of the pandemic seems yet to come - Johnson might gamble that he can step aside now, let somebody else deal with the horror, and resurface a few years down the line saying "See, I wasn't so bad, was I?"

 

[dessiato]

I think he'll go in January. Just about the time Trump goes. There'll be no one to prop him up in his stupidity so the only option will be to walk. He will claim Brexit is delivered, which he had promised, and due to family commitments and continuing poor health this is the time to go.

TBF to Johnson he did Get Proper M2 Portaloo Blame The EU On The New Border Brexit Done, not like all these liberal EU-kowtowing BINO saps

Genuinely avoided the EU Labyrinth... Not sure if the technique of ignoring all the detail, leaving the UK unprepared and wishing away the border has legs, but he got it over the line... Must be all that rugby he's played against 6 year olds bearing fruit

The worst of the pandemic seems yet to come - Johnson might gamble that he can step aside now, let somebody else deal with the horror, and resurface a few years down the line saying "See, I wasn't so bad, was I?"

Worse to come you reckon? Why?

I've never just tried to see that picture in my mindseye before... It's even funnier that way! I might try and use this technique when people try to get you to smile when taking a photo

If he resurfaces it will only be because the body wasn't well weighted

Because stupidity has no limits
