It's all falling apart alarmingly fast for Boris Johnson across the water. How long you reckon he has left as British Prime Minister? Hours surely?
How many parties are they talking about now? I've lost count.

He's Teflon. Doesn't give a fiddlers.
Rory Stewart is a legend , imagine a pm that cool! Walked from Iraq to Nepal and delivered his own baby at home as medical help was delayed 😂😂
Also a former MI6 spy, governor of an Iraqi province and was Prince William's private tutor. And the hedgehogs, who can forget his immortal hedgehogs speech in parliament.
The man isn't yet 50 and has done more in those years than most do in 10 lifetimes. One of those interesting people you'd love to spend an evening over a bottle of whiskey with.
They didn't write their name on the side of a Mercedes maybe
if by whipped you mean being able to read a story and pick put the bullshit from the facts, then yes, I am whipped.
Celotex. Name was all over the media.
Dear oh dear
Yeah it came out at the Grenfell Inquiry that Kingspan knew their insulation (which was designed for high rise towers) failed fire tests but they pushed it out onto onto the market anyway. Even though their product was only 5% of what was on Grenfell the larger problem is there is a lot of tower blocks in London where 100% of the insulation is Kingspan. Other insulation companies failed tests too, Celutex was one as L1101 said. But the whole scandal has everyone who lives in these tower blocks asking questions if they are safe, should they ignore fire brigade instructions if a fire breaks out.
AFAIK it has had a big knock on effect on lots of tower blocks in London and all around the UK, In a lot of cases the residents are being expected to foot the bill for remediation works to properly fire proof the building they live in. Costs depend on the size of the block but it can be as high as £80k per owner.
Johnson is very fortunate that his wife gave birth at just the right time; it has served as a much-needed distraction from the hysteria about No.10 parties.
Let's face it: we all attended parties or gatherings of one kind or another last year at Xmas. It's nothing more than moralizing hypocrisy that Johnson is being targeted in the way that he has been.
No, we didn't. This is just the usual Conservative corruption and venality on full display.
Maybe just a coincidence but Johnson made that shambles of a speach a week or so ago.
Bringing back the old bumbling Boris that made him so popular in the first place.
Speak for yourself, not for the rest of us.
The teflon coating is frayed and things are sticking.
If Paddy power had odds for Jan/Feb I'd be taking them. Unfortunately they just have odds for the year.
Liz Truss is the favourite to take over seemingly....lol...
Shocking alright. Clearly, very few of the current cabinet show any degree of intelligence but she's particularly ill suited any job above operating a photocopier.
She would be an absolute car crash....
I thought the obvious one would be Rishi Sunak, but now seemingly another party involving him....that won't help!
Ah yes, good old Rees Mogg. His nickname around The House of Commons is "The Minister for the 19th Century"
I’d be delighted if she got the job, it might see the conservatives voted out a bit sooner. It would be even worse if someone equally as sinister as Johnson but more competent got the job.
She's a complete moron, even by modern Tory standards where anyone with a shred of intelligence or integrity has been pushed out the door. I know someone who has worked with her before. Notoriously unintelligent, apparently.
I think it is actually "The Honourable Member for the early 20th century" but similar :)
I rather like "the haunted pencil" lol
British cheesemakers are an incredibly powerful lobby group.
We could end up in Edwin Poots territory soon enough
Blessed are the cheese makers...
this..^^^
Johnson’s staying power is in no small part to the lack of quality opposition especially their leadership..Starmer as leader has been practically invisible...
do a google news search for Keir Starmer and you get practically nothing current... it’s like the guy is invisible....
That has to be my favourite Liz Truss moment, its a disgrace!
The venom you spew against the Conservative Party is borderline obsessive.
The Tory party are the biggest threat to Peace and prosperity on our Island, so the 'venom' is warranted.
They could go in an extreme direction, by either keeping Johnson as PM, or by replacing him with an even more dangerous character.
There are some leadership candidates that offer a degree of moderation, but they have a lot of hurdles to leap to bypass the ghouls who appear to be running the show in that party
They're currently destroying our right to protest here and all some people care about is that the upper caste being shielded from harsh language. Pathetic.
Such ambition. Formerly the greatest industrial and innovative nation in the world, now a sad husk of what it once was, and they want to grow more pears. That'll do the trick.
