Is this the end of Boris certainly be very interesting to see the out come.
Javid too. Does anyone think Boris will resign? I doubt it.
Good riddance if that's the way they feel. Sunak hasn't done much to help the cost of living crisis other than for folks on benefits. The NHS isn't doing too well either that's Javid's department. Still don't see anyone better than Boris for the PM.
Who will be next ? those who want to be PM I'd guess.

That's why they've resigned.
They both know what difficult times these are & they both know that they can't please everyone so they're baling out in order to protect their own standings.
I agree with you Diasi Javid got wind of Rishi resigning and got in first. Just hope Boris has good replacements for the pair of them who were not doing a good job. I do not think Boris going any where soon so I hope Rishi enjoys himself on the back bench because Boris not packing his bags.
Interesting times.
I believe Boris had a replacement ready and waiting to replace Rishi. Order of the day will be to cut taxes and sort out the cost of living. Boris really is a fighter and will remain He is safe for 6 month I believe
Maybe.

Or maybe not.
Bookies have him odds on to go this year.
Betfair Exchange has Mr Johnson at 20/21 to leave office in 2022. For those who think he'll be off next year, the odds are currently 7/2. You can get 5/2 if you think he will last to 2024 or later.

I personally wouldn't bet on him lasting this month.
The sooner he's gone the better. He'll try and hang on somehow for the summer recess of parliament. If he's got rid of this week, the break can be used for the next 'leadership election' within the party. A replacement would then be making their first appearance at the annual Conference in October. Then having a decent chance to wipe clean the stain of his/hers predecessor's malfeasance from the Red Wall etc; and recover some trust from the next two years, before the general election.
Shamefully the combination of this frightful man's ego and wife's ideological domination, compel him to occupy office. Even as the sound of the carpenter's hammered nails, building his gallows resonate everywhere.
For the Nation, its like eagerly waiting for the result of the successful flush that finally banishes the persistent floater to the one way underworld beyond the U bend ...

A double whammy, what a surprise ! One comedian is now in the mire for saying " Balancing out the fact that I can't stand Javid or Sunak with the fact that I love to see a rich white man brought down by asians " fortunately said comedian is himself Asian.

Oh well it doesn't count that way round, Ho,Ho,Ho very funny joke etc.
Floater Johnson.
The comment means nowt but rereading Cass's appraisal when this thread got updated made me smile again. I wonder if they'll need a stick to get the job done.
Cassandra .. You have a lovely way with words..
I don't feel anything for Boris anymore.. He is becoming a bore.. He is pushing the top job into the hands of the Opposition.. God forbid we end up with a Labour government.. Especially with Tony Blair sniffing around..
I was furious at Gove stabbing Boris in the back with the result that we were saddled with Teresa May - and I see Gove is at it again, but this time with far more justification. Big problem is that I can't see who is a suitable replacement.

David Frost, David Davis, Jacob Rees-Mogg. I think the first named is the choice after next and David Davis as a sort of one term holding leader.
All the other 'flyers' Truss, Wallace, Hunt etc are Remainers, no good in Red Wall land, they've already had two liars in May and Johnson.
God forbid we get a bloody 'Remainer'.

What we need is a snap General Election which gives us a majority Labour Government.
Then after a couple of weeks we'll have:
Dual fuel energy bills capped at £50 per month.
Petrol at 45p a litre.
State Pension minimum weekly rate of £450.
Income tax at 2p in the £
VAT scrapped.
I guess its over and out for Boris, but who can take his place ? The only reason I will vote for conservative party again because we have an excellent MP.
BJ now refuses to go. Trump mark2

I'd be happy with any of those three - but I doubt that they have a cat in hell's chance - Davis Davis and JRM are to much like real Conservatives to be popular in the current party dominated by woke remainers, whilst Frost would need to bye-election to be eligible in current thinking - but I'd love to be proved wrong

Now that's nearer to a handbrake turn than a U turn Hugh. Have you considered standing for PM yourself? :grin:

July 07, 2022, 09:01:35 AMIt won't affect many of us, but the NI threshold has gone up considerably. That will help some of the lowest paid workers. I'm OK with that.

You forgot, student fees scrapped, income tax threshold raised to £20k, PIP payments raised to whatever your happy with in yourself and the Durham Police chief knighted twice.
Can this be correct ?
Rishi's wife took taxpayer's money during the pandemic to furlough staff for a company that doesn't pay tax in the UK whilst she was a non-dom non UK tax payer?
If so Alex this should scupper his plans for the leadership. Don't like him anyway, backstabbing little worm.

I'm past being surprised by any such stories. It is all within the range of expected behaviours to me. I hope it sinks him. The man who has increased taxes to the highest level in decades while claiming to be lowering them.
