Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister

[tobyjugg2]

LOL

The corrupt liar:

I must listen to the people .. as long as it isnt that i should resign or anything other than cheers (or jeers that can be spun as cheers)

 

Dowden:

'someone must take the fall for Johnson

Spin it that i have some character, but make sure no-one thinks its just that I want to distance myself from the corrupt liar before he ends my future well rewarded career as well.

 

Rabb:

I'm not going out in front of that result - get shapps, smogg, Qwassie to do it

 

Shapps, smogg. qwassie:

Send doris out

 

 

 

Well done lib-dems, and well done labour

Shows labour can win as long as Corbyn isnt at the head.

 

[honeybee13]

That's what I thought too TJ. I will listen to people about the cost of living [not sure how that works] but definitely not the bit about two-thirds of the country wanting me to go.

[tobyjugg2]

That Tiverton and Honiton result with the lib-dems turning a massive Con majority into lib-Dem majority is EPIC

(need to check the figures)

 

No leader of a party that lost 2 MPs to that sort of sleaze, let alone lost a safe seat w would do anything other than resign .. but we know Johnson the corrupt liar has not even a minuscule shred of morals or honor.

 

Lots more stuff coming out about getting his latest trollup well paid positions, including highly paid 'positions' with charities .. and dont doubt it was him leveraging others to do it.

 

The Lib Dems gleefully pointed out that the 24,239 Conservative majority in Tiverton and Honiton was bigger than the combined majorities of the 26 most marginal Conservative seats at the last election.

 

Isnt Johnson in Rwanda at the moment? He should stay there.

Quick, sell it all out while we still can ... Ner not so interested as the next party (sic) will likely just rescind our dodgy deals ...

 

Chancellor Rishi Sunak met private US social care firms to discuss ‘opportunities’ in the UK, the i can reveal. According to redacted Treasury minutes, Mr Sunak’s attempt to secure investment from healthcare companies was rebuffed during his contentious California trip. During a round-table discussion with multiple companies specialising in aspects of social care, Sunak encouraged the companies to work in the UK.

as Rifkind claims 'just 12 ministers could oust Johnson .. which shows how clueless rifkind is

1) Johnson would just replace them

2) If ALL his ministers turned on him, and a few certainly wouldn't as for MANY Johnson is the only reason they are ministers, he would just replace them

3) If the whole Party voted him out he lock himself in his No10 flat and call a general election

"Mr Johnson also made clear he was not capable of some “sort of psychological transformation” to change his character, saying: “I think your listeners will know that’s not going to happen.”

 

Instead, he dismissed senior Conservative figures calling for him to go – including former leaders Michael Howard and William Hague – arguing they are not putting forward any alternative platform.

The prime minister claimed the “only argument of substance” made by any of his critics was “for us to go back into the EU single market”.

It's going to take a tank division, as he said.

 

He also said earlier that people are fed up of hearing about his mess ups. He's not reading the room but you wouldn't expect him to. People are just fed up with him and the constant scandals.

 

This morning the Times has a story about his plan for a tree house for Wilf in the garden at Chequers., paid for by Lord Brownlow, at a cost of £150k including bullet-proof glass.

The guy would be a disgrace as a 80's banana republic  'leader'

 

'Always been a corrupt, self-serving, incompetent liar and I'll carry on as a corrupt, self-serving, incompetent liar.'

'No change. Business as usual.'

- Boris Johnson on himself - rephrased.

[unclebulgaria67]

Sunday Telegraph reporting that Government looking to apply tariffs on steel imports to the UK.

 

This is apparently the issue the independent advisor on Ministerial code of conduct quit,  because applying the tarrifs would break international law and agreements signed up to.

 

Move seen as being popular with brexit voters, particularly those in red wall seats.

 

I thought Government were in favour of free trade without barriers and wanting businesses to be operating in a profitable way. Surely if the tariffs lead to higher costs, as the cheaper steel is no longer as good an option, it means companies making items out of steel will have to increase price of their goods  therefore they would be less competitive in the UK and abroad ?

[honeybee13]

It isn't joined up thinking, is it? Sounds a bit desperate to me.

 

Worse, Johnson told Beth Rigby of Sky that he'll coast through the next election and is making plans for a third term, taking his reign to the mid-2030s. If I were a Tory rebel, I'd be looking to get him out before he can run in another election.

Isnt that 'continue to apply tarifs in breach of WTO regs? As already mentioned here a couple of pages ago  ,,

So just Johnsonite right wing press dog whistling to the rabid sheep and distract from Johnsons many many ongoing misdeeds.

I was idly wondering about two things earlier.

 

If the UK is going to have the lowest growth in the G7, how long is it before we don't qualify to be in the group any more?

 

And the other thing might seem far-fetched but could have happened in the US after their last election. What if Johnson is voted out as party leader but refuses to leave no10? Who would/could remove him?

[brassnecked]

A Marstons Bailiff

[honeybee13]

Very good. What's the serious answer though, does anyone know?

[brassnecked]

Probably the Police that protect No 10 might be able to remove him

[honeybee13]

Good point,  BN. I wonder if he would count as a squatter?  

 

I just hope it doesn't rely on 'good chaps' behaviour because the PM doesn't mind breaking conventions.

they seem to be doing more protecting Johnsons criminality and abuses, than protecting No 10 from criminals and abuse

 

Sequence

1. Tories oust him

2. Johnson calls an election

3. Johnson tries to change rules

He might be a Trespasser within the meaning of the Police and Crime Bill, so can be dragged off to jail as if was a Traveller in a layby.  Of course they wouldn't do that no matter how sorely tempted one of those Police Officer's was.

[tobyjugg2]

The officers on the ground might have been sorely tempted, but there seems to be amble evidence that the senior officers at the met are in Johnsons (via his supporters promoters) pockets ..

... unlikely to be the other way around although those 'seniors' are undoubtedly 'in the same club' as it were.
