Shortest serving, most damage done. Enjoy your legacy you evil muppet
Isn’t he 6ft+?
His tenure wasn’t endowed with particular length but by God he made quite the mess
Shares in high viz jacket manufacturers plumet.
Longest criminal record.
Pulling out was never his greatest strength
Quite impressive how much damage he caused in so little time. Utter wank stain.
It feels like Theresa May would’ve been shorter, felt like she was around for no time at all but it was actually over 3 years.
Really? Feels like about 5 years, whereas Theresa feels like she was in for about 6 months.
Granted he probably was prime minister at the absolute worst time – but the amount of damage he did on top of it all (while he and his party members filled their pockets) was pretty bad. He’s needed to go for a long time (he should never have been PM in the first place). But ending his reign crashing and burning, while being one of the shortest serving is nice at least.
No doubt he’ll go down as the worst prime minister in British history.
The real win for the world here, is that hopefully no one will ever see or hear Jacob Rees Mogg or Nadine Dorries ever again.
Channel 4 might even survive as it is.
Hearing the likes of Rory Stewart on the radio just now, feels like being pulled out of a horrible alternative reality.
How quickly it takes to forget what a normal politician is. Brexit really has ruined us – the team that came in off the back of it are way worse than anything we might have imagined possible a decade ago.
Boris is 5’9 so not particularly short. Are PM’s more likely to be tall than the general population?
How could Labour do this!
It still feels like an eternity
I can’t wait to watch this odious cunt’s life unravel in real-time.
I hope he’s divorced, penniless, lonely and irrelevant within a year or two. His brand too toxic even for the Tory rags who propped him up as he tries to support himself by being a fat, blonde Piers Morgan. Everyone is tired of his “rah, rah, pronouns, attack helicopter” one-note culture war shtick, there’s no way back for him as a columnist. He doesn’t have the draw to justify the £250k a year salary any more, they say.
No longer prime minister, his 30-something wife suddenly realises he’s an ugly, dishevelled racist, pushing 60 years old, who can’t even dress himself, never mind dress their children, and realises he has nothing to offer her.
Sensing a golden opportunity to throw him under the (big, red, has lies printed on the side) bus, he’s deselected as an MP. The party line is that they’ve “moved on” and their new three word slogan is “Put Britain Right”. Despite their obvious enablement of his muppetry, the other MPs are reluctant to be seen with him and will use him as a scapegoat in the media wherever their own competency is questioned. Nadine Dorries remains loyal.
Without power and influence, his “friends” Evgeny Lebedev and Lord Brownlow no longer pick up the phone when he’s on the grift for handouts to fund a depressingly more desperate spiral of begging. His WhatsApps get left on a single grey tick.
A brief sojourn to the after-dinner circuit ends when his single anecdote is circulated online, and it’s neither funny nor interesting. Having read it already, who wants to pay for it? He can’t get you a PPE contract now, why bother smiling and nodding through his insufferable bloviating? He didn’t even outlast Theresa May, how is he an inspirational leadership speaker? Just book Jim Davidson instead.
I hope his utter failure and destroyed reputation, all self-inflicted, keeps him up at night. I hope he finally has the tiny flash of self-awareness to realise he’s not as clever, popular or gifted as he thinks he is, and it eats at him, constantly. He has no real friends, no influence and no purpose in life, with nothing to occupy his time but reading his former favourable press picking at the fetid corpse of his premiership. In a rare moment of self-examination, he suddenly understands that people don’t actually like him.
And then maybe he’ll feel a tiny fraction of the despair he’s inflicted on millions in this country.
That’s crazy… I feel we’ve had a lifetime of shit from him.
Boris’s thoughts in 2010 about another short serving PM, Gordon Brown:
>The whole thing is unbelievable. As I write these words, Gordon Brown is still holed up in Downing Street. He is like some illegal settler in the Sinai desert, lashing himself to the radiator, or like David Brent haunting The Office in that excruciating episode when he refuses to acknowledge that he has been sacked. Isn’t there someone – the Queen’s Private Secretary, the nice policeman on the door of No 10 – whose job it is to tell him that the game is up?
He’s definitely one of the worst Prime Ministers of all time, so I say fair.
He’s staying on a little longer so he can say he was in office longer than May.
What an utter, utter shit stain. Worst PM this country has ever had, by an absolute country mile. Moral vacuum, liar, and a snake.
The list of people to take over as PM is utter dross, as well. Bunch of fusty old Tories who don’t give a shit about the country, its people, or those who are most vulnerable. Only interested in personal gain, and legacy. Politics isn’t about that, it’s about serving your country.
Desperate for either a Labour or Lib Dem government right now. We need higher taxes for those who can afford it. We need companies to stop taking advantage of workers. We need cheaper education. We need better social care. We need more opportunities for young people – especially for those from under privileged backgrounds. The Tories will NOT deliver these – not by a long shot.
Boris had personal visions/goals of becoming a third time serving PM apparently when he started.
Bwah ha ha ha ha 😂
And the worst one
The sad thing to come of this is you’ll get all of the braindead lifelong Tories that Boris managed to turn away willing to vote Tory again as if the whole party isn’t corrupt. Boris was always a problem, he was never THE problem.
He’s still the pm though
Top four SINCE THE POST-WAR PERIOD, if you read the article. Really arbitrary starting the list off at 1945.
Edit – if you are going to cut the list into arbitrary chunks, he’s the 2nd shortest in the 21st century, 6th shortest in the last hundred years, 7th shortest since 1900.
Also he’s not gone yet. Could still outlast May or even Callaghan if he gets his wish to stay until autumn.
And yet one wonders, how this catastrophy of a man, stayed in the position that long.
“Come on, everybody, this is history in the making. This is the ending of a chapter of a very thin book that nobody enjoyed reading.”
The issue really is that his cabinet was composed of people willing to enable him and delude themselves. Whether they believed it or not willing to enthusiastically celebrate us crashing off the world stage. This isn’t just an Alexander Johnson problem
I’m assuming that somewhere Theresa May is quietly laughing and revelling in the schadenfreude that Johnson, for all his scheming and manoeuvring, lasted for even less time in office than she did before he orchestrated her removal for his own personal ends.
What a euphoric feeling.
He’s still the PM, he resigned from being the conservative party leader
Wow, 2 years and 348 days and it’s the 4th shortest serving prime minister…To make things in perspective with my country, he would make it to the top 10 **LONGEST** serving prime minister of the Italian Republic:
Feels like he’s been PM for so much longer. Shows how painful his leadership has been.
And probably the worst ever as well.
Top three easily at least.
“Among top four” is a very convoluted way of saying “fourth”
Fun fact: Of the 7 Prime Ministers who have served during my lifetime (Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May and Johnson), a grand total of TWO have left No. 10 because they lost an election. Every single one of the rest of them fucked up and resigned in disgrace.
Pretty nuts if you think about it.
The fact two of the shortest PMs in British history were the last two Tory PMs who served consecutively speaks volumes for the state of our politics. That’s three Tory PMs in a row to resign. We should all put bets on how long the next one lasts.
Another reason why he doesn’t want to quit today is that he has served the same length of time as Neville Chamberlain. Now he is wanting another few months to outlast Teresa May.
He hasn’t resigned. Nothing he said constituted a resignation.
“And I want you to know that from now on until the new prime minister is in place, your interests will be served and the government of the country will be carried on.”
All this does is acknowledges that at some point in the future, the Party will select a new leader and a new PM will be in place.
He hasn’t gone yet. Maybe believe it when he’s officially told the Queen.

He’s actually 22nd shortest if you count back to Walpole [on the full list of PMs.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prime_ministers_of_the_United_Kingdom_by_length_of_tenure).. but that wouldn’t make such a good headline.
Edit – if you are going to cut the list into arbitrary chunks, he’s the 2nd shortest in the 21st century, 6th shortest in the last hundred years, 7th shortest since 1900.
