  1. If you have a Tory MP, please email them immediately demanding they push for his resignation. Only pressure from their voters is likely to make them shift this giant, selfish, noxious lying blob of self-inflated, hubristic, cock-wombling inadequacy.

    ​

    Edit: a word.

  2. Aye, “it’s all a bit suspect like” but all governments are like that now.
    What do we do “fuck all” we are as much to blame.

  3. They *still* want him to resign? I know it’s just me, but putting it like that sounds like it’s saying that the report found that he wasn’t a vile, lying, cowardly piece of shit

  4. Boils my blood that this is what it finally takes for people to get upset. Tories have been lining their pockets, selling our institutions and fucking the poor for as long as I’ve remembered, but lying about a party is where they draw the line. Not to mention the blowback is all on PM Johnson (he’s not “Boris” the friendly oaf) and ignoring the whole corrupt den of leeches that watched it happen and laugh behind our backs

  5. Only 63%?

    Says everything wrong with this country and it’s population.

    Should be 80-90% as a minimum.

  6. Frankly getting to resign is too good for him, he should be made to spend the rest of his days in shame but that will never happen because he still has rich mates that will no doubt give him an advisory job the day he leaves office

  7. He won’t and 63% of the British are too lazy to do anything about it, you made your bed and now you can sleep in it.

  8. I am so happy the country is seeing the bumbling fool for what he really is. Shame it took this for his voters to realise it.

  9. Shame all the focus is on Boris and not the entire Tory party as they are all as bad.

    It will be yet another, blame everything on Boris and place a “new” PM who’s just as corrupt and claim the party is a “reinvented party” all helped along by the media, it’s the very same fucking con they have played on the public since Thatcher

  10. I receive the occasional yougov poll, but these days I only get selected for the ones about what I watch on TV and what brands of chocolate I know.

    I think its algorithm learned fairly early on that I tend to (strongly) disagree with what this lot is doing so it’s leaving me out of juicy polls like this, I can’t remember the last time I got one.

    Obviously unsubstantiated, but I’d bet the real number is much higher.

  11. Lol they’re gonna dump everything on Boris to keep clinging to power and distracting from the financial damage to the lower classes

  12. Replace him with who? With another one who broke the lockdown rules?

    If anything we need a General election to get these people out of power.

  13. Only 63%?!

    I get that a lot of people have right-wing politics, whether it’s Tory or UKIP/BXP. Flipping heck I even get that many people consider Brexit to be a good thing and Boris Johnson delivered it for them. What I cannot get my head around is that for 37% of the population all of this is somehow more important than truth and responsibility. How many of these people will use the term ‘Bliar’ or talk about Labour and Iraq as if that somehow absolved Boris of his lies?

  14. Something to remember here is Boris wasn’t at those parties on his own. There’s a lot of MPs that knowingly went to those social gatherings who’ll still be on the bench when this is all over

  15. Well we have until 2024 before the next general election – how long will this anger last?

    Also, how many of these people will still vote Tory if Boris is ejected?

  16. I don’t think a resignation is enough. I honestly don’t even believe that the resignation of everyone who attended one of these parties is enough.

    People voted for Johnson, not the tory party, and they did it because he was funny and told everyone that Brexit would be a massive success, if only *he* was in charge of it. They voted for him because he “told it like it was” or “said what everyone was thinking”, meaning “it’s nice to have a prime minister who’s as bigoted as I am.” People voted for him because they thought he was the sort of guy you could have a pint with, when in reality he’d never even deign to visit the sort of pub most people would go to.

    A resignation just means that we have a new tory PM, likely politically aligned with Johnson, without the stink of this controversy over them. They’ll push through the harmful policies, maybe with a bone thrown our way like scrapping the NI increase to convince us that they’re different. Give it two years and they’ll shift the blame for the bad economy and whatever other problems we have as a country onto labour. You can see it now with Johnson’s whole “We vaccinate, they vacillate” rhetoric, as if Starmer has any power with the majority Johnson has. If he was working with such a large majority I’m sure Starmer would “vaccinate” too, likely without openly breaking the rules.

    If he’s going to resign, I’d hope we get a general election. Preferably, he’d hold one before resigning, and then at least we can kick him out. I still don’t like Starmer for bringing Labour to the right of the Labour which energized so many people to join and kicking Corbyn out of the party, but I’ll vote for him out of a lack of options. It’s far easier to swing left from his position than from Johnson’s, and I don’t see any other party getting a majority, especially given that the SNP have been winning pretty much all of Scotland for the past decade or so, depriving Labour of a lot of safe seats while doing nothing to touch the safe Tory ones.

    I think Starmer can win because, while he’s not energizing people, the establishment aren’t trying to paint him as simultaneously a doddering old fool, a terrorist sympathizer, and a terrifying communist threat to everything that makes Britain great. He even got invited to write a column for The S*n, who’ll no doubt support him and claim that they were instrumental in his win. I just wish that Labour could go as far left as they want, because there’s this perception that only centrist policies can win while the tories can go as far to the right as they want. There’s also this common idea that no other party can win, and while I’m obviously happy that the Scottish can have such overwhelmingly socialist policies thanks to the SNP, it sucks that the only political party that fits the sort of country I want to live in is one that has no benefit for me, while I live in a country where the government has never represented my interests.

  17. Not really sure if I want him to resign. The longer he clings on the more damage he does to conservative chance of victory at next election, is the way that I see it. Opposition victory in 2024 looked like a pipe dream back in 2019, now it looks much more feasible thanks to Boris and co. It’s a once in a generation chance to get a change of governing party, I don’t want to see this opportunity squandered.

  18. Only 38% of tory voters think he should resign. Not members but voters. Disgraceful twats.

    It really is tribalism for these idiots. Pick a sports team and ride till you die, whatever the cost.

  19. This cunt lied to get us out of Europe, that then got him the job as PM and just carried on the lies when in power. He won’t go and he won’t change.

    I’m sure the media will defend him somehow to convince the gullible masses to keep him. Then he’ll get us into a war with Russia… that no one wants apart from his friends that will get Millions or Billions in some sort of contract.

    Just to reiterate. He is a Cunt
