This is the fascinating thing as nobody is coordinating the 'anti-Johnson' vote making it impossible to get a handle on how things currently stand. If we assume the number of letters is just above the threshold required and those who submitted them go on to vote 'no confidence' tonight - that's...
For me, this is his biggest problem.
I don't believe there are 'ring leaders' nor is there a proposed alternative leader for him to focus on. It seems to be organic - just a general and growing 'feeling' of dissatisfaction that Johnson has become utterly toxic with the proportion of the...
Ordinarily I would say a sitting PM would win this as most leadership votes revolve around internal splits and divisions.
But I reckon there is palpable sense of dismay in the country with Johnson’s leadership that MPs won’t have been able to ignore over the long weekend. I genuinely think he...
Chris Mason on BBC news just saying he’s spent the day on the phone to Conservative parliamentarians from Cabinet level downwards and his analysis from those calls is that Johnson is “in considerable danger”
Boris is probably still inside an outside broadcast truck, having been sent there on Saturday evening and told to ask for a long stand for his microphone.
I’ve no idea if the organisers - like the Headmaster of a minor prep school on Prize Giving Day - have decided to keep the idiot child out of sight as much as possible.
Or if Johnson himself has decided it is best for him if he keeps a low profile. He is utterly toxic and he is well aware that...
No. It just means we’d have to elect the useless ****er every few years and frankly, given the grind of electing 650 MPs every 5 years, plus local elections etc, who can be arsed with that?
Imagine NSC. Then imagine only being permitted to post in the Bear Pit? That’s what life would be like...
Good post and one that chimes precisely with my experience of the 4-day weekend. Just a pleasant, convivial and relaxed atmosphere with non of the over-the-top alcohol fuelled jingoism that seems to accompany England doing well in a tournament, for example. No reports of any trouble or fights...
100th Junior ParkRun for my 10yo son this morning. My12 yo daughter clocked up her 100th JPR two weeks ago. Both regularly finish in the top 3 now and hopefully a habit for life has been formed. Thanks to all ParkRun volunteers :bowdown:
I thought the gag itself was a bit weak but I guess the power of it is the fact that he made it, rather than in the quality of it.
He should have said something like “welcome to the Platinum Jubilee party! Or ‘work event’ if that makes things easier for you.”
Not sure if George Ezra singing “green green grass, blue blue sky; you’d better throw a party on the day that I die” is massively appropriate for an event in honour of a 96 year old woman. :facepalm:
