Well I mean it's only the leader of the country, I'd imagine it's quite important

Swap one bent politican for another bent politican. The only difference will be the next one won't be so blatant as boris.
At least with bojo he doesn't hide the fact hes a bit of a numpty

Bent and incompetent is probably the most accurate. it doesn't matter who is in charge, they all say one thing and do another, they all give with one hand and take back with the other, they all write cheques they can't cash, all while pretending to be thinking of the people's best interests when they are actually doing things for their own advantage

Unfortunately for us Johnson is both bent and incompetent
And has promoted rather poor MPs to cabinet to trynto cement his position.

Whatever happens I hope we can move back to boring professionals running the country. Not HIGNFY panellists and jungle contestants.

Everything just seems so dumbed down. Like Pantomime villains stirring up the masses.

Regardless of the outcome of this vote the noose will be around his neck from now until he goes or wins another election. If they loose in the two bi-elections it will tighten again.

However ultimately those who vote to keep him in, are more than likely doing so for their own personal gain rather then the wishes of their constituents.... which ties nicely back into the bent and incompetent statement

Exactly. Imagine going to war with a former comedian as the nation's leader. That'd never work

2 minds about that one. He's very popular on the international front with his media savvy and Instagram etc. On the other side
Hes.in power 2 years and at war with Russia.

With 73% of the vote, I'd say he's quite popular at home aswell

Thatcher and Theresa May both did the honourable thing and stepped down after similar 'wins'...

But Boris and the 'honourable thing' ... ? Well given every thing he's done and said so far....

Agreed.
The issue though is now out of Johnson's hands in reality, like it was for those you mentioned.
Power and then influence are what the Tory backers expect for their millions of £££'s in donations and lobbying costs. You can't have one without the former being guaranteed. Johnson now is a risk for those powerful people/organisations.

Yeah we don't let them in swimming or cycling races round here

Joking aside, did I or did I not warn you about the imminent ‘sportspeople'?
I'll not judge anyone for laughing at the time

He's Teflon. He'll survive, whatever the cost to the Party or the Nation. Not only that, but he's a Tory version of Putin. Say no more!

Fun fact: 30 minutes before the results of the VONC vote yesterday, the government scrapped its plans for an HS2 link to the West Coast Main Line. Guess whose constituency it would have run through, and who was dead set against it?

Graham Brady, Chair of the 1922 committee.

Dead man (Boris) or dead nation walking.

Take your pick

Call a GE now, Boris, if you are so sure that this country loves you.
