>I saw that preposterous old tit David Mellor running towards a TV camera to claim Johnson’s downfall was a tragedy “worthy of Shakespeare”, which makes you realise the writer Shakespeare could have been if only he’d realised making Falstaff king would have been the banter option, and the best way not to Get Agincourt Done. Watching Johnson fail to play Henry V for the past three years has been like watching the lift-music version of Laurence Olivier have a crack at the role. The sort of prime minister that makes people leave reviews like “Amazon, why is it not possible to give zero stars?” …
The bad news is that all of them aren’t on the way out(government)
Grant Schemey Shapps? Or will he be going by Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath or Sebastian Fox?
A shorter version of it is, yes!
If nothing else I think whoever comes in won’t have such a bizarre cult of personality yo shield themselves with when they behave like the colossal fuck ups they are
Johnson unpopular generally but with the die hard brexit cultists he still carries weight because he’s always been the one who legitimised brexit. It’s impossible for these people to admit how foolishly gamed they were despite all the evidence of their eyes and ears. The 2019 got elected on brexit and I they will want a puritan.
Let’s also not forget that the departure of Boris has dropped the Tories under 30% in the polls. Party may think another ideologue is in their best interests.
There are very few credible candidates regardless, and relying on people that are ideological puritans towards a stupid, damaging populist endeavour has taken a lot of the grey matter out of the party. The successful candidate might be the one most ridiculously hardline on brexit. Never forget – this is the Brexit party or the UKIP version of the Tories – they appointed a spectacularly unfit PM in Boris and it took far more to oust him than it should. Any serious cabinet would have turfed him over Cummings and his defence of him. They eye test garden party was the point where you could tell the Tories had utterly lost connection with any kind of truth or reality or interest in taking the public seriously.
Country needs an election and a Labour majority. And a media watchdog.
LOL Don’t they mean the bad news is the Conservatives are still in charge
It’ll be more of the same because 75% of this countries issues stem from brexit… And the next tory leader (or Labour leader for that part) will not admit that, nor will the public.
You can’t begin to fix this countries issues if your not willing to talk about the cause and why we have the problem..
