The rats deserting the sinking ship.
Blimey CB, a note of caution when you’ve been cheerfully predicting his demise every time a relatively minor hiccup has wandered towards him?? I think you can finally assume this political catastrophe is the end game for Boris.
TBH I would rather see the cunt hang on desperately until the next general election. Watching him destroy his party’s chances of winning anything for the rest of my days, would make me a very happy man.
It’ll be Sunak, in short order. He’s clearly decided Stabbing Season is nearly over, and he’s not going to get a better chance at the top job. Javid to parachute into Number 11.
Edited that for you.
JRM is Boris’ Comical Ali
He has just compared Boris to Walpole and predicted 21 years of him
Sadly it has a ring of truth
If Johnson tries to hang on after this, he’ll destroy Tory hopes for years.
Please hang in there, Boris! You can do it!
Has anyone done a Downfall parody yet?
Here’s a prediction. Johnson won’t resign, certainly not in the short term. He’ll appoint yet more useless twats to the cabinet and promote some equally useless ones (he already has, in the form of Steve Barclay).
When Thatcher went, she was told by cabinet ministers and Tory grandees alike that she had to go, as she’d become an electoral liability. And off she went. Who’s around now to say that to Johnson, and would he listen anyway? There’ll be nobody in the cabinet who’d get a post under any other PM, so none of them will say anything. Maybe a few Tory grandees will try to have a word, but he’ll ignore them.
He’ll continue until his position becomes totally, unequivocally untenable - if, for instance, he runs out of MPs willing to take ministerial and PPS roles. Short of that, he’ll have to be prised out of Number Ten with one fuck of a big crowbar.
