Johnson’s lurch to the right adds to momentum for leadership vote

  1. I honestly think Boris would survive a leadership challenge. The Conservative Party isn’t exactly full of decent & honourable MPs, too many of them blindly support him no matter what he does.

  2. Johnson hasn’t lurched to the right. He’s always been the same. He was an amoral demagogue when the fascist Tories thought he was the best person their party had to be prime minister and he’s an amoral demagogue now. There’s been no lurching, except under the influence.

    im baffled

    >With Johnson’s future in the balance, No 10 has begun launching a number of rightwing, nationalistic policies in recent weeks. These include the return of imperial measures, plans to override the Northern Ireland protocol, a hint about expanding grammar schools, a review of fracking, and repeated promises to tear up more EU regulation.

    i hadnt heard mention of the grammar schools, but otherwise its hardly classical right wing, and hardly a “lurch”. most tories seem upset about his lurch to the left.

  4. I hate hate boris but part of me feels that he is now beyond the pale for enough voters that were an election due, he would suffer badly- hard to shake the character he has traded on so long

    A new more ‘centrist’ tory might pull back some of the lost tory voters unhappy about voting left but too queasy about Bojo to keep backing tories

    That said- who the hell could do it

  5. >One backbench critic of the PM said MPs from the 2019 intake were “gathering their courage” to put in letters before next Monday, but were worrying about repercussions if No 10 were to identify them after an unsuccessful coup.

    No mention of what’s best for the country, you’ll notice, just 100% self-interest. Will this help me and my career personally, that’s the only thing any of them give a shit about.

    Classic Tories.

  6. Hmm, ~~when~~ if he does get ousted I wonder what decisions Prime Minister Truss will be making in a years time…dUN DUN DUUUUUUURN.

  7. You are just as trash as the US. Kinda embarrassing since you think you should have worked this out considering your longer history
