Peculiar behaviour.
It be like he just wants to delay for a long a possible the date when the blob finally leaves Downing Street in floods of tears.
>Mr Johnson has been frantically phoning around waiverers promising them ministerial jobs in a July reshuffle.
Great boyo for promising people the earth
Sixth(?!) anniversary of the Brexit result. Seems suitably poetic if that’s his Ides of March.
The Times is claiming Graham Brady is going to count the letters on Monday, with a potential confidence vote on Wednesday, so who’s wrong?
How much will it cost to change the wall papers at no 11 ?????
Labour don’t want the Tories to lose Boris.
This is bad news for your prospects winning the next election.
Their party WILL play the blank slate card, and bounce back in the polls.
Cross your fingers he clings on.
Doesn’t matter who is in charge it won’t be for the better anyway. Every one of them keep fucking up.
Nineteen days more, nineteen days too many. If it happens.
Can’t he fire them all who opposed him to get his house or party in order?
Hey that’s when my exams finish! What an exciting day to look forward to.
