BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

Touché 😁

Can the thread title have a small amendment?

Move the word "is" 6 places to the right and delete the question mark

"the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is toast"

Personally I thought he had 2 hurdles the Covid party investigation and the May elections. I didn't think he would go for at least a year after surviving those.

I laugh any time I think of Johnson firing Gove. It was utterly pointless, only serving as some petty gesture on his part and has made something of a martyr out of Gove. Gove is another detestable individual but I begrudgingly admire him for playing the game so well.

As for potential leaders, Sunak or Javid would be my bet for a (relatively speaking) safe pair of hands, though they are both long-term slippery Tories. Odd not to hear much about Patel, though I imagine her close ties to Johnson may hold her back. Truss would be a car crash. I imagine she will campaign on her Foreign Office stint, sticking it to the EU and helping out Ukraine. I can't think of any other serious contenders, though the sensible thing for the Tories would be to bring in a moderate until things calm down. This is really just the beginning of the power struggle; it's going to be fun!

As for Brexit, I don't see them going back but it is an opportunity to quietly re-align with EU standards and present them to the public as their own set of 'great' British standards. They can sell it however they want and have it put in place with a lot of fanfare. No need to admit they got it wrong, just present it as a workable solution. I doubt many people are clued in on the ins-and-outs of these regulations, they'd likely be happy if they're told they were written up by Whitehall civil servants consulting with the City's leading minds and rubber-stamped by a leading Brexiteer.

No the reason the relationship is bad is because they have no issue with ripping up a legally bindnig agreement that they lobbied for and signed, when others were on the table, and couldnt give two **** if it send Northern Ireland back 40 years to where everyone is killing everyone ele again. Its impossible to have a good reationship with a neighbour who treats you like that

Not sure Johnson ever actually reneged on any treaty though.

He just kept threatening to and having his bluff called.

Boris is on the phone to threshold and the Residential Tenancies Board right now. With their assistance, he should be able to stay in The No10 apartment for 1-2 years whilst the process of eviction goes through the court of appeals.

😂

The hyperbole here is absolutely batshi7 insane and shows a deep commitment to avoiding an exploration of history.

Agreed. There's no way they can claim any moral high ground when most of them voted in his favour in the recent vote of no confidence.

Boris about a new Cabinet 🙄
