  1. This, of course, is the same PM who insisted he had to stay in office after announcing his political demise because there was important work to do and a war on.

  2. If there were a warning a Tory donor would be impacted, you can bet your life on it that they would be all over it…

  3. Safe hands for the Economy

    The party of Law and Order

    Protecting the NHS

    Getting Brexit Done

    Mission accomplished.

  4. Don’t ask for a pay rise, get a second job or just work harder to pay your huge electricity bill, while we all sod off on our jollies for two and a half months.

    Have a great winter, love the zombie government.

  5. I’ve lost track. Is the same PM that brought his own government to collapse in the midst of a crisis a few weeks ago that’s just off on a jolly? I didn’t just dream that, did I? That happened right?

  6. So much winning. So much sovereignty. A completely self-inflicted recession. A uniquely British recession. I guess The Daily Fail is salivating?

  7. i’m sure there’s plenty of fridges that need their insides checking, other than that it does take a lot of his energy banging the nanny and counting his money.

  8. Feel like it will be soon time to jump ship and leave this dump of a country…the question is, which other dump do I move to

  9. Is this the old definition of recession on the new ‘what ever is happening under the Biden administration isn’t a recession’ definition of recession?

  10. If he could get away with it old Boris would f*#k your nan so not surprised he does the opposite of what’s required.

  11. I can just about forgive them a holiday in August. But what is absolutely beyond the pale is just how nonchalant they are about the economic crisis we’re in.

    Obviously I know they couldn’t give a shit about the British people, but the fact they’re not even pretending….. I dunno man, seems extra insulting.

  12. This is what happens when we elect self serving millionaires. There’s a day of reckoning coming in UK politics one day when the old fashioned, out of touch boomer generation has gone.

  13. Saying “The UK might be hit by a recession” is like the watchers on the Titanic saying that there could be icebergs 30 minutes after they’ve already hit one.

  14. Why is this a headline? He’s irrelevant now. Is the implication here that there would not be a recession if he were at Number 10 today?

    The quality of British journalism has gone to the dogs.

  15. Feels like Borris is yet again taking from the book of Trump. When shit goes bad, he goes off to a golf course.

  16. What do they mean “to be” didn’t we just have negative grown twice in a row? We are IN a recession bro…

    House/rent prices are going nuts, major companies are halting recruitment, energy bills through the roof, food gone up in price, fuel is just crazy still. On top of all that, Brexit continues to fuck us over and the Tories continue to make it worse for everyone except themselves.

  17. When is Johnson not on holiday and could it not wait until he’s out of office next month?

    Fucking dick head.
