I guess it was only a matter of time.
Boris Johnson finally announced his resignation today admitting ‘no-one is indispensable’ – but is lining up a ‘unity Cabinet’ as he battles to stay in Downing Street for months longer.
In a statement in Downing Street, the PM tried to sound an upbeat tone as he confirmed his MPs ‘clearly’ want a change and his time in office will come to an end when a new Tory leader is installed.
Standing at the traditional podium and watched by wife Carrie, baby Romy and close aides, Mr Johnson said the situation was ‘painful’ and branded the move to oust him ‘eccentric’.
So now what? I still can’t help feeling that he largely brought this on himself. He gave his enemies the sticks with which to beat him.
Ooh this is exciting, maybe an actual Conservative will replace him. We do still have some don’t we?
Good luck at finding one with a solid chance at the leadership.
Mind you, Thatcher came out of nowhere in a time of weak and vacillating politicians, so maybe there is a smidgeon of nope.
Name either of them
If you were in any way connected with The Government now is the time to go.
There are so many turds doing a slow motion approach to the big fan.
In charge of NHS? An avalanche of heart problems, immune deficiancy, fertility problems, unwanted abortions, etc. etc.
Home secretary? Well, what can one say?
Chancellor of Exchequer, with both trouser pockets hanging inside out like the rude elephant imitation.
In charge of energy and its reduction. Beware what you wish for. Put on an extra jumper?
Education? Duh?
And on, and on, and on.
Any “Conservative” who wants to take this on will be ready to take the money and run.
I’m sad. This was a relentless establishment and msm remainer and never BoJo war to defenestrate Johnson. He is far from perfect, but the traitors aiming to replace him are much worse
A eulogy
Farewell, Headmaster
He was very much the architect of his own downfall. His immediate response to a difficult situation is to lie and obfuscate going right back to the Darius Guppy scandal. He gave them all the tools they needed. My sympathy is limited.
At his core Boris is dishonest. His first instinct in any difficult situation, even mildy difficult,seems to be to lie. That is what has brought him down. He also has, or had some sort of charisma that caused people to vote for him but when that started to fade the people who had been willing to overlook his dishonesty at last did the right thing in removing him.
The Pincher affair in itself is not very important, but it is the last straw; the last straw of so many straws.
I voted Leave, and volunteered on Vote Leave stalls and did a lot of leafletting in 2016. I am a very firm Brexiteer, and I am delighted at Johnson’s removal.
Exactly the same here. Worked under Dominic Cummings at Vote Leave for Scotland. It was always made clear that both BoJo and Micheal Gove were the only serious beasts in the BRExit campaign, but Michael Gove’s backstabbing at the end led to Remoaner Treason May becoming PM instead of BoJo, so the BRExit we got was incomplete, weak and watery.
He could have made things right after 2019, but instead with got WEF Covid, Lockdowns and Net Zero eco lunacy (aided and abetted by his mistress come wife).
So yes, severely disappointed at BoJo, but given his track record of lies, evasion and weakness, probably not that surprising. I’m sad to see him go, but he wasn’t doing anyone any good as PM, so time to roll the dice and see if we get someone better.
I’m not immediately inspired by any of them, to be honest.
We knew Johnson lies/obfuscates in 2019 and elected him anyway. He was hounded out by relentless msm & establishment campaign
Better to know he does this than the snakes like Gove, Starmer who are cast as honest
Rather good
