The only Tory who was a serious politician in the last leadership contest was Rory Stewart but he's a Remoaner not interested in fighting the culture wars and so he won't do for the Tory rank and file.

Johnson has stuffed his cabinet full of sycophantic lightweights so there isn't an obvious successor, which funnily enough helps keep him in power.

Starmer's policy has been to lie to get the top Labour gig and then just present himself as more competent than Johnson without presenting any real substantive policies.

The electorate are lucky to have them both.

 

This is an argument I heard more than one cabinet member use yesterday. I wonder whether any of them realise they were saying, "You may think he's shite but the rest of us are much shiter."

There are also YouTube videos out there explaining why I might be descended from alien lizards. I'm starting to think everything there may not be entirely accurate.

 

If that stuff floats your boat, crack on.

 

You could find something in these educational videos that is incorrect and point it out.

 

Take your time.

It’s going to take the voters to empty the Fat lying Tory as his MPs don’t have the balls to do it.

Yip, the arrogant Tories and those defending the Eton Mess  are seriously underestimating the electorate. Partygate will not be forgotten , they are taking a massive gamble here.

 

Oh and the Tory spin of "move on" is a desperate act.

 

  This is going to end in tears for them and they are set to lose upcoming by elections ..:rofl:

He may have won his no confidence vote but this has opened pandoras box for the Tories and the infighting will go on until there is another GE.

I wish people would look beyond the phrase "partygate" as it gives twats like Rees-Mogg the chance to claim it's a lot of fuss just about a slice of birthday cake.

 

It's not that he hosted and attended parties; it's that he thinks he is above the laws & rules he sets for others.

It's not about having a 'work do'; it's about lying to the public and to parliament and believing that doing so doesn't matter.

It goes back to his general unfitness to govern. He never got "the big calls right" on Covid - he missed the first five COBRA meetings on the pandemic, contributing to delays that led to deaths. He oversaw an illegal policy of releasing untested patients from hospitals to care homes that led to avoidable deaths. He never got "the big calls right" on Brexit - he's lazy and got bored of trying to find a solution to a complex conundrum, resulting in a situation where the economy is taking a kicking and the NI peace process is put in a precarious position.

 

"Partygate" trivialises this and his many other failings - too many and too depressing to list.

The next general election is in 2 years. It's a safe bet that Partygate will be water under the bridge by then.

 

Keith Starmer can only muster 4-6 point poll leads at the moment. He is going to get creamed once new boundaries and voter ID come into effect.

Of course it will be.

 

However Spaffer is a man with size 12 feet in a field of rakes. He just can't help himself.

 

The next catastrophe is just around the corner for him and his party and it has the shape and form of a cost of living crisis that will transcend the utter nonsense excuse suite he's trotting out. Inflation will be double digits before long, petrol and diesel over £2 per litre, food prices up beyond the RPI and he'll be inching ever closer to that point when the heating goes back on. 

 

That's when the arse falls out his world.

Ok what about "piss up and  don't give  a feck gate".

You think its safe that this Eton Mess and serial liars party gate will be forgotten about in two years..:rofl:

 

I love it, you tories are never in the real world.

 

The opposition  parties are going to have a field day with it in the GE campaigns . Its a very good weapon to use and you know it. 

 

In fact sleaze and dragging up the past, like yous done with Corbyn , is a very nasty weapon when used effectively .

 

I just love it.   And i would not rule out that a big % of 148 of your MPs who voted NO in the confidence vote share the same thinking.

 

Underestimate the electorate at your peril in fact keep it up..

 

Do you think those that were denied being at loved ones death beds or furnals will forget??

Johnson's bumbling shtick is a once only trick.
Once you have seen through the insidious lying bullshit it is very unlikely that you will be taken in again and convinced by a new set of Johnson snake oil.

Sadly, there are many, many folk who believe that the bumbling, blustering garbage is somehow authoritative and they're prepared to doff their caps to their betters.

Every news programme they go out canvassing opinion and all you see is the same type of people saying "We've heard too much of it.  We're sick of it.  We don't want to hear any more.  It's time to move on.  They need to get on with the cost of living innit.  There's nobody else".

 

Yup.  That's precisely what he/they want you to think.  Everyone could move on to other things if the arsehole was removed.  He could have been removed if you had bothered enough to complain to your MPs.  Being disinterested enough to facilitate the greased pig escaping and then announcing that you're sick of hearing about what you've been disinterested about has helped nobody move on.  Apart from the arsehole and his gang who are now pissing themselves laughing at you.

Yes, to all of this.

We have a PM who everyone, including his disciples, know is an habitual liar who is only interested in himself. How on earth can the UK be trusted by foreign governments to be telling the truth or entering into legal agreements when that liar is in charge. He's a liability and a disgrace to the Conservative Party, never mind his position.

Also, I heard the other nonsense being repeated by one of his junta last night. The one where we are being told he "nearly died of Covid", but just like his mate Trump, rose up from his deathbed to save us all. Not disputing that he caught it, but I certainly don't believe he was ever in life threatening danger. He was only in hospital for about a week.

There is an investigation into this which suggests Boris lied about this too

I tend to agree. I listen to LBC and Radio 2 a bit and theres plenty people who phone in and are 100% behind Johnson. 
It’s actually mind blowing some of the pish they come away with. 
Labour aren’t really electable and the SNP are bumbling around and making no traction. 
He’s likely here to stay. Incredibly.

The SNP have the overwhelming majority of Scottish Westminster seats. There isn't much more room for improvement.

All this while

Britain is on the brink of recession as rocketing prices, tax hikes and a shortage of workers derail the recovery from Covid and bring the economy grinding to a halt, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has warned.

Families will be forced to eat into their savings or take on more debt as prices spiral higher than earnings, the economic think tank warned, with inflation rising into double digits later this year because of global supply bottlenecks and energy market turmoil.

Even next year inflation will be more than double the Bank of England’s 2pc target, the OECD said, as the EU’s oil embargo against Russia keeps costs high.

The new Northern Ireland bill changing the post Brexit arrangements is high risk for Boris.

 

It could entail a major Commons rebellion that could lead to him being forced out.

The timing of it,  after a single chance per year confidence motion was 'attemped',  is highly suspicious.

 

I still maintain that the confidence motion may well have been gamed by Spaffer & The Spafferites.
