Sorry, but as it's all kicking off I've defied the conventions and started a new Johnson thread...
damn, I've done it wrong
damn, I've done it wrong
And there will probably soon be a vacancy for wife number 4Thread recap:
Tory MP’s have finally gained a backbone. Boris is finally facing a vote of no confidence. Boris keeps getting booed.
Slightly inappropriate usernameSneaking in with popcorn for later
I reported it to a mod asking them to fix it it happens all the time so don’t worry about itthank you thank you whoever fixed it!
I think the Lib Dems have the other in the bag considering all of the other by-elections they’ve won.The theory earlier was that he might survive this vote today and then end up having to resign later in the month after the two by-elections, which the Tories are almost certainly going to lose (they'll 100% lose Wakefield, the other one might be closer).
I agree. I think between the demented Brexiteers and the slavering nutbags ( Dorries, Mogg etc ) he’ll scrape together enough votes to survive. Personally I hope he does survive - that means I’m still in with a chance of seeing my fantasy scenario of the Tory Party utterly imploding and the useless cockwomble dragged out of No 10 in handcuffs.I personally think he will survive.....unfortunately not enough Tory MP's have a backbone or a moral compass.
I think we all knew Johnson doesn’t call the shots .I wonder how he’ll do without his Russian backers .
Happy have you been nipping at that Pimm’s tooI hope he survives too. When he took the "job" he successfully took us through Brexit, but had no idea he would have to deal with a pandemic. There are some decisions he made I agreed with and others that I didn't. And I think the majority of people would say the same. Then, there's the Ukraine war which is also affecting so much of the UK. And, we have the illegal immigrants who arrive into our country and need dealing with.
OK, so not everyone will agree with everything that's happened, the decisions made by the government. But times are changing, they need to too.
Throughout the pandemic rules were put into place - I certainly didn't agree with them all - and these rules were constantly changing as the situation changed. And now, throughout the Ukrainian war, Boris and his government continue to make changes.
Many people, and businesses, have gone through hell, but we're slowly coming through it all.
What I'm trying to say is that no matter who our PM was/is during these difficult times, or which party we vote for, they would all have an extremely difficult job ahead. We also have to take into account that Boris is actually popular with leaders in other countries.
When he was first elected as our PM I called him a baffoon and hated him, but I'm now convinced he's the best person for the job right now.
Successfully took us through Brexit? It’s a clusterfuck of monumental proportions.I hope he survives too.
