-TSS- Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 He can only blame himself. He had very good cards but he blew it. But who's going to replace him? It looks like the resigned Chancellor Rishi Sunak is the favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankyMcFarland Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 As one wag put it, third PM in a row to be ousted by Boris Johnson. BTW isn’t it great to see MPs, regardless of party affiliation, really having a go at the PM at a parliamentary committee meeting? You wouldn’t guess we had the same system in Canada. https://inews.co.uk/news/huw-merriman-m ... ee-1726986https://youtu.be/zopEUw7gUMg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TSS- Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 They really should some deputy-system so that in cases like this there's someone who takes over straight away. After all, it takes weeks to find out who's going to be the next PM. When a party is in opposition they have time for this kind of very lengthy leadership-elections. Not when it's the governing party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a 23% approval rating. The people of Uxbridge have even had enough of him. If there is a non confidence vote and an election, he will probably lose his own seat.

Michael Hardner Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 This was the populist Darling that was for the people right? It's so sad to see people suckered in by these types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he got a handjob while in his office, by someone he later married. He also held some parties during quarantine. Sounds more like a Clinton than a Trump.

Should’ve been case closed, but evidently not. That was within his party and it is obvious he would lose another one. If Labour introduces a non confidence motion in Parliament, it will pass and the Conservatives will be toast in the resulting election. The Conservatives have to get rid of him before that happens.

That's a gamble though. It might backfire by uniting the Conservatives. There are a lot of Tory MPs in traditional Labour seats who don't want an election now when the government is so low in the polls. Starmer has threatened to do it but I think he's bluffing.

Besides getting a hand-job from one’s girlfriend, I mean... He has had over 50 resignations from his cabinet. Eventually they get tired of lying for him. After the latest revelation, he was told that at best he could expect around 60 votes out of over 300 in another party confidence vote.

OftenWrong Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Yeah that’s what I thought. Nothing there. Since you people refuse to answer, I asked the mighty Google oracle and here’s what it said: (Wall Street Journal): What is the turmoil in Boris Johnson’s government about? Mr. Johnson’s premiership has been rocked by a chain of scandals in recent months after government officials were found to have held several partiesin his Downing Street headquarters while the rest of the country was under strict Covid-19 lockdowns. He apologized to Buckingham Palace after staff held parties on the night before the funeral of Prince Philip, where Queen Elizabeth had to sit alone to comply with social-distancing requirements. Most recently, Mr. Johnson had to apologize for appointing as a senior parliamentary official a man whom he knew had a history of allegedly making unwanted sexual advances. So that’s it? The Queen had to sit alone?? Awwww.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TSS- Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 I think last time there was this level of uprising in a PMs party was in the last moments of Thatcher's premiership but she had been there for 11 years. Johnson only three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OftenWrong Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Lest we all forget reality... BoJo’s job was to extract the UK from the Europeon Union (sic) via Brexit. As such, he is an enemy of globalism. He would’ve had a hell of a lot of enemies. The media attacks were never-ending, coming from an infinite well of funding. The same funding’ that’s got you people spinning your heads round and round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
