    Quite funny when he walks into this meeting they've got lined up for him and summarily sacks everyone on the spot/has them marched out of the building.

    Yeah, this is unprecedented, certainly in my lifetime.

    When people have gone outside of an election previously they rarely wanted to but knew there was no way back. Seems Boris can’t quite grasp that part of it. Chuck in a botched vote of no confidence and the system, such that it is, falls to shit.

    The idea that he could call a general election is where things get proper lol.

    Yep, really poor form. Would love to see Boris fire him tonight. Might as well string out the spectacle until the 1922 committee rip up the rule book.

    Does the Prime Minister actually have any power himself without the support of his cabinet? He can't really go freewheeling in the style of a rogue POTUS, can he?

    This reminds me of the dying days of WCW. Bischoff in then he’s out. Now it’s Russo then he’s out then he’s back as a consultant. No, it’s neither of them, it’s now Kevin Nash. Now it’s Terry Taylor and Dusty Rhodes.

    Ultimately, no cunt knows who’s actually doing what.

    Fucking kill this shit, Vince McMahon style.

    Could he appoint loads of cabinet positions to himself / the last few loyalists? There must be precedent from the 1700s or something.

    I was thinking to myself, if there is some political no hoper MP who fancies a run at being Chancellor [and all the opportunities that stem therefrom in the aftermath of not being it anymore], then this is their time to seize the nettle. Bowl in, cut loads of taxes, do loads of other populist stuff, saunter out the greatest chancellor in history [after 3 days].

    Would any PM have survived a Brext - Covid double whammy? I mean he's clearly shit but he has been dealt an extremely shitty hand, I bet he's gutted he didn't just wait for another few years for the job to become available again.

    He's negotiated those two things pretty ok - the reason he's gone is because he's a dickhead.

    He's not in this situation because of either of those situations. People accept that it has been an exceptionally difficult few years.

    He is fucked because he is completely incapable of telling the truth.

    I feel like if Covid never happens, "partygate" obviously never happens and his dickheadedness wouldn't have come to the fore as much. Covid probably cost Trump too.

    The electorate were on the whole quite satisfied with COVID and Brexit. If we were in an alternate timeline where they weren’t a thing I still think Boris would find another catalyst to disgrace himself with. He’s just a serial liar who in hindsight represented the worst road we could have gone down.

    Were people satisfied with covid? The vaccine rollout, sure. But the first six months of the pandemic were absolutely disgraceful. I don’t think people did accept the PPE scandals, test & trace not working and locking down too late.

    I think they did (outside left wing media who hate him anyway). It was only the illicit parties when his numbers nosedived across the board.

    Yeah.

    The 'right answers' on covid weren't any better than what was cobbled together.

    Straight out utilitarian mass death was actually the best option, but they bottled that, well, sort of.

    My observation was that all the way through the pandemic people just thought 'Well, maybe they got things wrong, but it was a shit job to have and we all would have got things wrong too'.

    The only times they got hammered in the polls were the two instances - Barnard Castle and parties - when those in power were not following the rules that they had imposed on everyone else.

    Not in my opinion. He was a disgrace at every step but I realise I, and we here, aren’t representative of the nation (remember rich old people make up a huge chunk of the electorate); the amount of mental gymnastics that went on to validate him shows he had the popular support until not that long ago.

    He's done okay in the eye of the public. The main counter is, it was all a shit show could anyone really have done better?

    However now the toff buffoon act, that got him in, has worn out it's 'charm' and gone full circle. The public now can't stand the person.

    He's both arrogant enough to think he's going down with the ship and stupid enough to not realise that he's actually the Iceberg.

    I would say that this is the plan to rescue the rest of them and save the next election, but he doesn't have it in him.

    They're making CHANGING THE RULES into some big deal, which it isn't really. The current rules work on the assumption that the people concerned can read the writing on the wall, so, if they don't, they need to be tweaked according to circumstances.
