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.

Next prime minister will be of Indian origin. Based on how the economy is going on in this world. So it will be rishi sunak. Like Leo is going to become Irish taoiseach.
Labour are getting a boost just by keeping quiet and doing nothing. Tories are like a granny on an out of control motorbike.
Good bet that. Will be odds on in a couple of days.
She isn't skilled or charismatic enough to be able to make jokes about it if she did tour.
The Conservatives don't really have anyone of real leadership calibre to fill the role. Having said that, the Labour party isn't experiencing abundance in this department either, so I don't know what the hell's going to happen.
I always thought that Jacob Rees Mogg was laying the tracks for a PM bid one day, especially when he was all over the Brexit coverage, but he seems content to run his investment firm and steeple his fingers on the back benches.
Indeed. PMs no matter how poor usually end up on the after dinner speaking circuit or with corporate sinecures.
Truss just invented a new category of sh*tty ex-PM. There won't be too many people banging down her door looking to give her a sweetheart gig.
You would worry for her. Like a lot of people who are gripped by narcissism, an overestimation of their abilities, and where their hubris was previously rewarded for many years - when their delusion meets reality, the pyschological wall they hit is particularly hard.
Not gonna happen.
Charlie isn't gonna cause a crisis like that so early in the reign.
What a glorious day
And what makes it even funnier that some Tories want BJ back
They are so idiotic
Nicola Sturgeon must be sitting back with a brandy enjoying the Tories doing the heavy lifting on Scottish independence for her
Sir Keir Stamer should seek an audience with King Charles and request that he not invite anyone to form a government in his Majesty's name unless they have a new mandate from the people.
even for her, thats a bit early in the day to be at the gin
He’s certainly arrogant enough to weather the storms. I can see one blonde bluffer being replaced by another
#BringBackBoris campaign in full flow.
Utterly shameless...
Boris' odds gone from 15/1 to 7/2 in the last hour, all while he is in the Caribbean no doubt on some Tory billionaires yacht. He will be into a private jet and back to London quick smart.
Amid all this mess a big story of a Russian fighter jet firing a missile towards the vicinity of a RAF fighter jet over the Black Sea has gotten completely buried. Apparently the incident between them lasted 90 minutes
Yep.
In fairness to her she crammed in a lot into her 6 weeks as PM.
- met the Queen,
- buried the Queen,
- caused a run on UK pension funds,
- tanked sterling,
- needed the BoE to step in to save the economy from collapsing,
- made Brexit under Boris look like a runaway success,
- had 2 chancellor's,
- multiple backbench revolts,
- put Labour at 50%+ in the polls.
Stuff like that wouldn't happen in a decade normally. 🤣
David Cameron caused some mess
And one meeting with the queen, who promptly died the next day.
Quite a record.
Yep the daily telegraph ( where bojo worked before politics) is reporting that it understands that he is to stand for leadership of the Tory party
The lettuce is good, the lettuce is great,
We surrender our will as of this date.
Another way to manipulate this so that there is only 1 candidate remaining after the MP vote is for the 1922 committee to set a super high threshold for round 1. They then engineer it so that the preferred candidate, and only the preferred candidate, could meet that threshold. Something like, say 120 votes. Anyone not meeting that threshold is eliminated. The ERG head-bangers wouldn't be able to get someone like Braverman or Badenoch* over that on their own and so they'd be eliminated.
Edit: *Or Boris
I can see it now…. Bojo the saviour
as I thought before and I still believe the final outcome of Brexit will be the dissolution of the UK. It’s just accelerating I think
Well he is gonna have to hear another story about how Kwazi fked her now 😝
Every PM when there's a monarch changeover.
they deserve everything they get
How can they think they still have a mandate to continue.
The people didn't vote for this. They have to go to the country. The UK is in an incredibly bad place. It feels like a terminal decline unless they do some kind of alignment to the eurozone that allows them to raise barriers to trade.
Can't see anyway now that Scotland doesn't break off and rightly so for their own prosperity.
There's probably a load of PMs that that happened to. Churchill was the last one (well his first stint was under the previous king that is).
Lettuce 1: Cabbage 0
Well the hubby probably won't mind, he's had to play cuckold a few times in the past .. 😁
She certainly wouldn't be my cup of tea tbqfh though. Reminds me of Robin Cook if you slap a beard on her.
