Which sycophant will they roll out this morning to try and defend Johnson's crumbling cabal?

Which sycophant will they roll out this morning to try and defend Johnson's crumbling cabal?

It'll either be Grant Shapps or an empty chair on Radio 4 this morning, I reckon.

The chair would talk more sense of course.

A wonderfully worded letter of resignation. At last, a man with principles.

Shapps? More like schnapps they're going to need.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Lib Dems win Tiverton and Honiton.

Sensational result with a swing of nearly 30%.

Yes. Very much so but I can’t get my head round 16,393 people voting for Johnson’s Government. It’s just bizarre.

House prices. NOTHING else matters.

Oh, and keeping those nasty Ukrainian refugees out!

We'll be getting Priti Vacant this morning instead.

There’s a core Thatcherite mentality with a modern take in this country. Johnson’s et al behaviour isn’t a factor for these people.

Nuffin wrong with that, other than to p*ss us all off and live in hope that she sees the light.
Nah, that ain’t gonna happen.

Priti and her compassion and kindness.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Very true, Johnson will carry on being Johnson, he won't change an act that has got him this far. The cans will be kicked down the road and he will try to blunder on and hope something turns up as a distraction.

I'm convinced he has a " Trading Places " style bet on with a chum from Eton... " £5 says I will last a full term as Prime Minister despite being the most corrupt, selfish and useless leader ever.....and they can't get rid of me ! "

I'll take that bet on Bojo, you silly old buffoon, how stupid do you think the electorate are

BBC Breakfast is very funny at the moment.

Raab was down to replace Dowden on the show but he won’t be speaking to the BBC now. They can’t find anyone from the Government to interview!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Big Dog ain’t going nowhere.

“The prime minister is giving his first response to the two by-election defeats his party suffered overnight.

He says he will "listen" to voters but pledges to "keep going".

"I've got to listen to what people are saying, in particular to the difficulties people are facing over the cost of living," news agency PA quotes him as saying.”

He thinks it’s the cost of living that has done for the Tories in both seats.

He needs to keep doing what he's doing and have the confidence to take the energy into a general election, soon.

He's praying it's going to kick off in Lithuania so he can go for a few jollys over there while the UK continues to fall further into the cesspit he has created

Unfortunately for the Tory party Big Dog suffers with a severe and chronic case of hubris and always thinks he is prancing around wearing a best dog in show rosette.

However as [MENTION=14365]Thunder Bolt[/MENTION] said:

"People are fed up with corruption, lying and blatant law breaking."

Which is far more on the money. I'd also say, now Brexit is done (kind of), Big Dog has served his purpose for a lot of people and whilst it was useful to have to have him around a few years ago, his unsavoury and unfit character is all he has to show.

My feeling, although apparently the political commentators appear to say the opposite, is that Dowden has been thrown under the bendy bus to save the PM’s skin.

Dowden, is (was) co-chair of the Conservative party, so it seems like a big thing, but I would hazard a guess that the majority of the public couldn’t have picked him out in a Nevermind The Buzzcocks line up before this morning. So for Boris he serves the purpose well, big name takes the rap, but nobody really knows or cares about him! Time to move on!*






* here’s a peerage for your work for the Conservative party, Mr Dowden.

I have to disagree, I believe that Oliver Dowden is severely pissed off with the way that Johnson is running the Government and can take no more. His letter subtly suggests that to me.
I hope that some others in the Cabinet, fed up with having to lie and defend the indefensible, will now show that they have the balls to tell Johnson his time is up and rid the country of this dreadful PM.

The sycophantic members (and there are quite a few) will need to offer their resignations as well, if we are to finally remove this cancer.

In fairness, there are probably 16,393 people in that part of the country who consider themselves 'better off' under a Tory govt, ie. they think they've got £1 extra in their pocket at the end of the month. That's what Tories do, that's what people who tinker with voting tory do - Partygate is a sideshow, the poor and needy? Well that's their own fault isn't it. Same old.
