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.

It's funny how some people don't like other opinions and dismiss them as nonsense.
The Wee Nippy Bonnie, has to be one of the most annoying people in British Politics and a proven liar to boot but yes, off topic.
The UK want to get long term solution for NI i am thinking.
The farcical political pantomime is drawing to a close...
So Boris has - finally - conceded (an action he has hardly ever done in his over-privileged, cosseted life) that the game is well and truly up and will step down as leader of the Conservatives but will remain in as PM until the Autumn.
His premiership really was the very lowest point UK politics has sunk to in my 47 year lifetime. The question is: who can realistically replace him given that the entire UK Cabinet is tainted with his legacy?
Boris initially had everything going for him but still managed to completely f*ck it up through his arrogance, ignorance his total lack of integrity. Easily the worst PM Britain has seen in modern times.
The body politic in the UK is in very poor shape currently. At a time when the country needs good leadership and direction as the reality of a disastrous Brexit becomes more and more apparent, I don’t see anyone prominent in the big three parties who in my estimation measures up to be an effective PM in waiting.
The Tories probably back as favourites to win the next election there now.
Oh wow.
Talk about your words coming back to haunt you.
🤣
I would say there is some very rough times ahead for the UK. It will be like a ship with no confident Captain in charge to steer it.
It will be like Captain John Harriman of the USS Enterprise B who had no confidence when he was sent out to rescue the Eldorians in Star-Trek Generation's.
And you think it's ok or normal that the politics of 3 places who are part of the country you live in (and 1 adjacent) are seen as not important.
Those places vote for MPs so what you are saying is it shouldn't matter in Munster what TDs are elected in Leinster.
I can't tell if you are just trying to rabbit hole or you actually believe this is normal.
But of course. There's a been a few with similar sentiments that have come and gone over recent months.
I was wondering what your next pronouncement was going to be.
Bog standard stuff designed to deflect from whatever mess the Conservative party has made. A bit sad really.
Indeed. Thanks for the civics lesson.
from what I can tell, the people of Munster (or the South East corner of it anyway) take great delight in electing politicians that are of no use to anyone other than the people of their corner of south east Munster, as long as they have the right surname, of course.
And lets face it, no one in Dublin gives a flying **** what eejit the people of, for example, Kerry may want as their TD.
Jesus, other than for the sake of shouting "Look over there" to avoid awkward debates, Irish politics isn't capable of looking beyond its own nose.
And there's few that's more deserving of such a downfall too. A talentless, skill less, useless, twat, who only managed to make it to No.10 because he was born with all the privileges he could hope for and because he rode in on the back of previous disastrous PM's.
Future generations will look back on this as one of the most farcical periods of British history. Embarrassment all round.
And done so often they think we're wowed by their political knowledge. Wee nippies indeed. Pathetic.
fancy people having a different opinion. how terrible for you.🙄
Boris will be angling for another major crisis to cling onto power for another while.
I'd fear for what he will try and expedite with the NI protocol in the next couple of month.
He's an absolute toerag.

Starmer beats six Tory candidates in pollSir Keir Starmer has beaten several Conservative candidates in a new poll by J.L. Partners - which asks Britons to choose between the Labour leader and leadership hopefuls.
The only Tory he was behind is ex-chancellor Rishi Sunak - but by one point.
We have 2 weeks until Parliament's summer recess. A non-cretin would struggle to do anything within that timeframe.
I admire your optimism that there'll be future generations at all. When we live in times where Putin, Johnson and Trump are considered political leaders, I'm afraid I can't share it.
Honestly, would big Sam be much worse than the last few gobshites?
I think when you look at tyrants of old, they possessed real virtues as well as being abysmal human beings. Hitler was an acute political animal as well as a decorated soldier. Napoleon led from the front. Heck, even Churchill was involved in the Boer war as a journalist who was captured at one point.
Captain Bone Spurs never accomplished anything save for being born into the right family. Ditto for Johnson. Putin was a glorified clerk in East Germany who was an aide in a mayoral campaign in St. Petersburg. He was nominated as a successor by Yeltsin.
It's still a bit grim but their decadence and laziness have probably saved a lot of lives.
Yes, that's exactly what's at issue here.
A history of Labour leaders since 1945 doesn't exactly excite either.
The only effective leader was Tony Blair, and he had to shift to the party to the right to gain power.
Seems a good time to remind everyone of this again.
The UK really dodged a bullet there! Imagine the chaos there would have been.
Why is there no talk about the ministerial code now and the punishment for breaking it. Boris has been proved beyond doubt to be a liar. The contrast with how the BBC etc hounded Nicola Sturgeon over some nonsense and Jeremy Corbyn and the way they give Boris an easy ride is staggering. All the talk about the resignations but not the lies.
Does the ministerial code apply to Boris?
Jeremy Corbyn making an absolute fool of himself with this rubbish.
The UK sent the Labour Party into political oblivion precisely because they don't want some socialist utopia of "redistribution of wealth and power".
Just because Johnson was kicked out because he attended a party and appointed a pervert, doesn't change the fact that Corbyn would probably still be beaten by Johnson if an election were held today, such is the revulsion for his brand of politics.
Corbyn lost two elections in a row and nearly split his party.
I suspect he'll be ignored.
So it's the BBC's fault.
Corbyn and his hatred, bigotry and often contradictory ill thought out vision are never the solution.
For many it was hold your nose and vote Tory to prevent the damage and derangement of a Corbyn Govt.
He has never wanted a serious solution to problems.
The ministerial code isn't worth the paper it's written on. It's within the PM's remit so it's essentially meaningless.
