Boris Johnson - next PM?

[Ziggy]

So it’s hardly a coincidence that the markets, having been stable since Hunt’s statement, have fallen again today on the news that Johnson is standing.

 

[ThePrisoner]

There's going to be an obscene media feeding frenzy when he lands in the UK in a few hours.

Pointless to keep thinking the country has hit rock bottom

This is a quite extraordinary and important piece by the editor of Conservative Home, Paul Goodman.

Conservative MPs, peers, donors, hacks and activists caper their way towards an open grave, with Johnson himself leading the procession. The dance possesses them; it has a momentum of its own; they are powerless to stop.

Conservative MP's logic.

A vote 6 years ago is still the will of the people, an election 3 years ago still provides a massive mandate but a letter of no confidence 6 weeks ago is something that can be forgotten about and reversed, we're being played for fools.

Indeed.

It’s amazing how powerful emotions take such a hold that they render generally intelligent people stupid and that they don’t realise it, or don’t care.

Critical thinking skills and their importance should be taught in schools with an emphasis equal to maths and English.

This all just part of Boris' pound shop Churchill tribute act. The period from July will be 'Boris - the wilderness years ..... sorry months'

No shame have they?

We literally will be a basket case of a country and zero credibility around the world other than Ukraine ‘a leader(!).
Markets reacted negatively because of his potentially joining the race …so incredibly irresponsible….

It's not a real newspaper now that I've looked, it's part of a satirical series.

MFC to be nationalised.. I’m scrapping trident and hs2 and we’re going straight back into Europe!

 

[Dragged up in W Banks]

Multiple political commentators with extensive contacts in Westminster are saying he will struggle to get the 100 signatures needed to join the race.

I think it’ll be between Sunak and Mordaunt.

No chance. They are both working for WEF. People are fed up with WEF - COVID, vaccines, eating insects, accepting illegals etc etc

Westminster were wrong. He has just surpassed the 100 signatures required to stand.

Westminster were wrong. He has just surpassed the 100 signatures required to stand.

He is claiming he has. Cos he’s never lied before to try and advance his own career has he.
