> What ho, you disgusting rabble! Look here, it would be frightfully inconvenient for us if we had to account for our actions. So doff your cap and go back to making our donors lots of money. Pip, pip!

Getting their support in early?
You know Boris could have been found snorting coke from the arse crack of a dead prostitute and they still wouldn’t remove him.
They’re not wrong – a convicted criminal would be the perfect leader for this bunch of shitheads. That said, it makes him wholly unfit to hold the office of prime minister or be a member of parliament, and on those grounds he should resign and exile himself in shame, if he’s capable of such a thing.
It should be public knowledge, the names of those public servants, and public sector employees, paid by the taxpayer, who broke the law, and have been fined. There is no other reason not to release the names other than to protect the guilty. They are not some random individual who were caught speeding. These people run the country.
The majority of his 65,000 constituents have written to him to specifically express they want an apology from the PM, but not a resignation? Sure, Simon.
The C & P response I got from my Tory MP definitely didn’t suggest that the majority of people wanted Boris to stay.
Margaret Thatcher was replaced during the first Gulf War. Herbert Asquith during the First World War. Neville Chamberlain during the Second World War, though it turns out he was terminally ill and died a few months later.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, terrible as it is, should not be a defence for replacing Mr Johnson with someone less incapable.
Ah Simon Hart, my local candidate and utter shitshow, not afraid to resort to harassment (through his lackeys) and other illegal actions to get what he wants. Every time there’s an election, his boards go up in places he doesn’t have permission to put them – take them down, and he just replaces them.
He’s a corrupt PoS, no doubt why he fits in so well with the current government.
Oh no! However will our military cope in Ukraine if Johnson is ousted in the middle of… wait? What’s that you say?… we’re not at war? Right now it’s just logistics and Johnson has no pressing wartime responsibilities?… it’s all just a convenient topic they bring up because they want to dodge responsibility for partygate?…
Well, fuck!
Outrageous. ‘Self indulgent leadership contest’ OR lying, crime committing, brexit enabling, russian money taking, wife cheating, child denying, pen stealing shit swazzle should stay in power cos he’s promised me things
“self-indulgent”?
So we just let a criminal continue to run our country?
Getting rid of Johnson before an election only helps the Tories. The opposition should be encouraging Johnson to stay!
Don’t let them swap out their toxic leader before an election like they’ve done with Cameron and May.
If only the no-shows actually turned up to vote 🙁
“We didn’t do it.”
“If anyone did it, they shouldn’t have done.”
“Alright but there’s no evidence.”
“Alright but we didn’t know we shouldn’t have done it.”
“We’re going to investigate ourselves to see if we did it.”
“Nothing to see here. Oh, thanks Vlad.”
“Even if we did it, we’re not going.”
No time to remove someone who is detrimental to the country? We can focus on more than one issue at a time or at least we should be able to. We need to stop forgetting what happened last week and remind the government who they serve.
“Loyal Tory says issues with party should be ignored”.
That’s been going on for a while but they didn’t move to oust him in the end.
The idea that Boris shouldn’t be ousted because of the war in Ukraine is utterly ridiculous. If anything it makes getting rid of Boris even more important because surely it highlights what a functioning democracy “should” look like. Something the world needs reminding of more than ever. Imagine being an average Russian looking at the current action of their megalomaniac leader and then looking over at the UK and watching ours being peacefully removed for misleading parliament. For the once Britain actually has the chance to do something noble and consistent with our so called democratic values. Don’t blow it.
Yes it is the fucking time, we don’t want shitty, weak, corrupt leaders in power while war rages on the European continent for fuck sake.
What do you need a leadership contest for? Isn’t this what the deputy PM is for, a backup in case you need a quick replacement? Then the Conservatives can sort out their mess on their own time.
Now is exactly the time. By ignoring leaders breaking the rule of law you get people like Putin in power.
I think times like now are the most critical to analyse if our leaders are up to the task.
No problem, keeping Boris means we’ll vote the Tories out when the election comes around 👍
I do believe we have a Dictator in charge of the Country along with his Toady Generals.
This Tory government is screwing us they are bullies and corrupt charlatans with a plan to destroy all that the people have fought and died for to make us doff our caps again. Fuck them.
