Good man. Thank you.
Just spotted the front cover quote;
"I hate this book" - Jeffrey Archer.
Made me proper laugh
This may well boil down to two shirtless Tory's in The Strangers Bar, arm wrestling for the role
This is definitely Johnson's "Get Big Dog Back In The Kennel" strategy coming into effect. By the time every declared candidate has been mauled by the press to the point where they withdraw from the contest, the only options left for the membership to choose between will be Boris Johnson and Chris Pincher.
Stop the world, I wanna get off.
Yep, this is one of the reasons he wanted to stay on. They are all a bunch of morons for letting him get his way again.
Jesus! Imagine if Johnson used his powers for good! We'd be living in a utopia.

It doesn't cover the prison period but don't let that put you off, his early life and his political career is gobsmacking.
Including the theft of a suit from a Canadian department store.
I've always waited for the movie.

Back to basics II for the Tories?
If only the issue was just Johnson for them, its not. They have a real problem, how many of them stood up against the Paterson scandal?
I need reminding....

Do Johnson and his wife actually have a home of their own at present? Did they keep her flat in south London (That of "Get off my ****ing laptop!" fame). Or did they sell it?

Someone on another forum brought up an interesting theory ---- Madge can't be around for much longer, if she goes before he's booted out he'll declare a constitutional crisis and demand to stay in position too ' steady the ship ' and hope that all the kerfuffle blows over - it won't...

Silly old bat
Her mother lived to 104, so hopefully she’ll last that long. She only has mobility problems at present.
From a constitutional point of view, the armed forces serve her, not the PM.
Nice theory but the monarchy really doesn't work like that. It's "The King is dead. Long live the King!" They have been effecting seamless transitions from one sovereign to the next for centuries. The moment the queen passes, her heir becomes monarch and it really is as simple as that. No drama, no constitutional crisis.

I don't like popcorn. Can anyone suggest something to nibble on over the next few weeks and to be clear, I'm not after a job in central office.

I'm still trying to remove the wallpaper.
Buckle in. This is going to be awesome.
Just a shame that there is a country that actually needs putting back together whilst they are all tearing each other to shreds in a blind fury of naked ambition and the people trying to prop up our crumbling public services and educate our kids are queuing up at food banks.

True , but given that a significant number of monarchists don't want Charlie on the throne that could throw a spanner in the works. She has been ill recently.
As I said ,it's only a theory but ticking it off the list is a defence against the slimeball..

Not seen such Bravery!
I bet the senior Tory nipple licking drink spiker that was never named isn't running for the leadership.
I think you can safely tick that theory off the list. Charles will be king, it will go smoothly and according to the long standing plans for the transference of power.

My wife doesn’t often make me laugh out loud, but tonight we have just been watching News at Ten, before getting our jimjams on, while the newsreader was rattling off the list of nonentities jockeying for the top job in No 10.
Getting up and heading for the bathroom, she said “I think I’ll put my name in” - made me really laugh that someone as unpolitically motivated could see the monstrosity of what’s going on. Having said that, I think she could do a job!
