Half joking half serious question.
If the SNP decided to no longer exist would they achieve all their party aims within 2 election cycles.
Dan Hodges reckons Boris won’t run. Hodges is a ball bag but he’s well connected.
I have to agree with this. Lots of bluster from Boris supporters about his remaining popularity but I suspect he will choose to bow out even though he says he would have won if he ran to save face.
Dan Hodges is almost always wrong about everything. If he says Boris won't run, then he's definitely running.
I think he'll run because his leaving speech was full of sour grapes.
Indeed. Everything we know about him suggests he'll run. The man is genuinely ill (and yes Boyd, also a cunt) and he will 100% believe that it's in the country's best interests for him to be back in power.
He won't run. He'll be fucking desperate to, inside. But he won't.
Just confused Laura Kuenssberg for Liz Truss on BBC News. RL can you confirm she also has Alchie baby face syndrome please?
Nah she's just a cunt.
It's gonna be sad when this breaks another board great.Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg tells the BBC Boris Johnson "will clearly stand" for the party leadership
Anybody know where some Catholics can source an unusual amount of gunpower?
'Stats for Lefties'. Probably follows 'Larry the Cat' and that absolute freak pretending to be Ken Clarke.
Bojos out.
Booooo.
He did exactly what I thought. Dropped out but let everyone know he had 100 backers.
Really thought he'd run, so chalk that one down in the wrong column. Prime Minister Rishi it is from tomorrow then. Doesn't even need to go to the members now, does it?
You should listen to your uncle Jimmy when it comes to this kind of arcane, petty bullshit.
Who would want to pretend to be Ken Clarke? Even Ken Clarke doesn't want to be Ken Clarke.Originally Posted by Lewis
Yep, fair's fair, you called it all along.
What a fanny.
He's done the honourable thing and put his country first. Totally selfless man and an inspiration to us all.
They just tweet banal centrist talking points and saddos lap it up because they think it's really him. It's more the idea that someone out there is trying to put themselves in the Ken Clarke headspace before tweeting that makes it particular lol.
'"Boris Johnson is..."'
*puffs on an imaginary cigar*
*swirls imaginary drink*
'Haha, yes. "Boris Johnson is not very good".'
The only accounts I dislike more than those are the likes of 'NHS Million' and similar ones that tweet things like: 'Jacob Rees-Mogg doesn't want you to know he's posh. It would be a shame if this picture of him being posh in a posh hat was liked and retweeted.'
Why come back from holiday just to pull out?
Just for the novelty. Pulling out isn't usually his style.
That’s like a tap-in from 2 yards for Ben.
What's the shortest anyone has ever gone from first being elected as an MP to being Prime Minister? Feels like Sunak must be quite close to that unless some chancer from antiquity managed to win a seat and an election as leader once upon a time. Ah no, thought he first got in in 2019 but seems it was actually 2015.
In recent times David Cameron (9 years) was the fastest. Can't imagine anyone (that I've heard of) from the past was much faster than that, they were always really old when they got in. Gladstone took 40 years and then had 4 stints. Keep going Bojo, there's still time.

There was a caller on LBC (lol I know) kicking off about Sunak because he's not British (ie. not white), but he was Boris' biggest fan who ironically was born in New York City. They challenged him on being obviously racist and he couldn't fathom it. Thick as mince and people like that have the same voting power I do. Fuck democracy.
You don't love England as much as we do.
Yeah there's a kind of "parody" account you get where it's just like
NOT Lizz Truss (SATIRE - FAKE ACCOUNT) - today I am going to do something stupid!!
I mean it ain't quite the day today is it? The one dork I'm following (some guy I went to school with) who is always liking and retweeting biting material like that is also constantly liking stuff from the terrible HIGNFY page, and stuff along the lines of "um, has everyone forgotten we're still in the middle of a pandemic?!?!" Oh and anti Brexit stuff. If I got too le tissier I could easily start to think it was a kind of false flag to turn me into a covid denying brexiteering fascist.
You're such a Lib Dem.
Well I dunno, I think pathetic centrist freaks are exactly the kind of people who like the content I've just described. If cosy blunt "satire" and thinking us having left the European Union is still one of the most pressing issues facing the UK in late 2022 isn't quintessentially lib dem I dunno what is.
This girl I work with and her partner both identify as being "very left wing" but both support the lib dems cus of their anti-brexit stance and i don't even need to check their grownups back in the room Twitter feeds to know it'll be full of wank like that.
Anyone who identfies as very left wing and isn't pro-Brexit missed the memo.
Including old Corbz, sadly.
What a sliding doors moment that was for the country. Doubt that alternative reality would have panned out any better though.
The worst thing those people do is lionise basically any European politician (and US Democrats) as being 'the grown-ups', as if these countries don't have the same bullshit going on or have corrupt/morally bankrupt political classes. Look at Germany ffs, spent the last 20 years enabling Putin.
I reckon much worse, as the Brexit people would have solidified into a sort of Tea Party force with a unifying grievance, in the way that the SNP did after losing the referendum.
I think my colleague and her partner, being sheltered middle class people who live in a cottage in the affluent bit of the Leicestershire countryside surrounded by other middle class crackers, think being left wing is just pronouns in signatures and using chopsticks in wagamama. I'm not saying I hate pronouns and chopsticks, but you know what I'm saying.
He'd have won in 2017 and been a working class hero for a bit before the Salisbury poisonings torpedoed him.
A manlet Prime Minister we're finished.
I give him a month.
He's 5ft 6, Maggie and Churchill were 5ft 5. It's the apex height range for prime ministerial greatness.
And his wife looks like when E.T. gets dressed up.
How will Tory voters cope with having to vote for someone who isn't white?
Putin is 5'6" and you're fine with him.
Was the autocue scrolling too slowly? He was very robotic in that. Seemed like he was waiting for it to scroll up to read what to say next.
It was also seemingly off to the side so he wasn't looking at the camera.
Apparently he wants all the toilets taken out of government buildings. Reverse colonised. Double finished.
It's Boris Johnson in a Rishi Sunak suit.
