Alexandole Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

.... and that is all down to Truss, Thanks Liz.

She should never, ever in a million years been anywhere near the PM job. This and the fact we are looking toward getting Boris back speaks volumes about the competency of the Tory party.

Also speaks volumes about their morals.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Why does Johnson get the VViP treatment, being allowed privileged treatment to get on and off the plane before everybody else?

Hey pal!

Think you are likely correct on Truss’ awareness of any conspiracy for the reasons you’ve set out. Can’t rule out the alternative, but I agree it’s far more likely she was viewed as a useful idiot and was manipulated into certain bizarre policy decisions in order to hasten her downfall.

I fail to see how anyone can dismiss this suggestion out of hand. It certainly explains events as logically and cogently as any other theory, and for that reason should be given a level of credibility.

As we were saying:



I think you were right, by the way, to note that Truss could have been a "useful idiot', as the saying goes. On balance, we both agree that she probably wasn't, but the possibility is worth flagging.

Whilst I think there’s a lot of truth in that, they must have been hoping she lasted longer than she has done. It’s way too soon for him to try it, which is why there’s now Truss and previous Johnson supporters backing Sunak.

I don’t think he’ll even end up declaring he’s running.

Yes, I think that's fair comment.

Just bought The Times!

He’s too much of a narcissist and his ego won’t allow him not too

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

A few months back Boris should have been arrested, now he's like a tory Ronnie Biggs delighting in his infamy and worse still with a sizeable following. This year we've lost a Queen who grieved alone thanks to his hypocritical edicts and for that alone I loathe this creature.

I meant more I don’t think he’ll even get to 100 and even if he does, he needs to be a lot closer than just that. He’ll know that he’ll struggle to even form a cabinet.

This is more like his run in 2016.

The only way this twat could form a cabinet is if he stops at IKEA on the way home from Gatwick

I did think of his aborted attempt in 2016 when I read that. Thibk the answer lies halfway. If he gets 100 he’ll run, I reckon. He knows he’ll win any membership vote and he’ll deal with the consequences of the fractured MPs when he needs to.

I’m not sure, I don’t think him winning the membership vote is as clear cut as others do, his popularity, albeit far higher than it has any right to be, is still overstated. That and given who’s already declaring for Sunak, hes going to have very few even remotely competent backers.

That scenario happening though (him only getting a hundred but winning the membership vote) would be the best possible outcome for Labour. For the country, it’d be the worst!

I think he’s still broadly popular among the membership, and equally importantly, white.

It might not be the worst outcome if enough Tory MPs vote against the party in a vote of confidence. Think there could be enough who will be sufficiently aghast and appalled.

Ditto. Given Frost and Barclay are both now backing Sunak, I’m really not sure it’s a battle he’ll want to have. Even for him, to be considering it only 3 months after the biggest number of mass resignations in history and before the parliamentary standards committee has even begun their investigation is a stretch to say the least….

 

[bluethrunthru]

Lol

 

[Summerbuzz]

I think the TV are deliberately only showing the people who want Boris back, they are biased trying to influence the election.
luckily it’s down to Parliament

It's not that they're particularly trying to influence the election, they are making the most of the chance to run a story that will keep viewers watching. Controversy is gold.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Something a bit off about this whole thing with Johnson hitting the 100 mark.

In the same way Barcelona have signed Bernardo Silva.

 

[Gogootz]

Lol

He must think he can just brass out any damning verdict or he can kibosh the hearing before it starts imo

I did hear on the news that he could throw out the inquiry if he got back on which is undoubtedly what he would try to do

They were trying to discredit it before he had to quit, Nadine Dorries was at least iirc
