The Politics Thread

Interviewed on the BBC. Apparently all governments midterm lose by-elections.

Which is basically translated as ‘move on you fucking plebby serfs. Nothing to see here’.
He's an expert at rationalising failure and abducting any personal responsibility. With what is going to kick off over the summer and beyond he is putting himself very, very high on the list of worst PM's of all time and there will be an argument to rank him as the very worst.
 
The Tories won't like the pasting they have taken in the by-elections. Their chairman has resigned this morning as well. Hopefully they will get rid of Johnson soon.

Let's be honest, he wouldn't have resigned if they had won those by-elections and he would have continued to support Johnson and all the nasty Tory policies.

His resignation was just a move based on self-preservation and personal ambition once the cretin is finally removed.

Not a chance, Boris has just pass the "Vote of no confidence" pantomime a few weeks ago so that will give him 12 months as the next general election wont be till 2024 (May) He wont make the same mistake Teresa May made and call a snap general election as he saw what happened to May.... own goal and was left spending millions in Northern Ireland to stay in power.

The 1922 committee will be looking at Boris in May 2023 and get a groundswell of support or apathy in the ranks before letting the buffoon take them into the next election.

Boris will need some new catch phrases before that happens as "Done Deal & Oven Ready" when dealing with Brexit now translate to "We were done and Half Baked" The "Levelling Up" seems to have gone quiet recently with more Labour politicians using it to point out that nothing has been levelled and only the cost of living has gone up.

,"How so? Under the modern conventions of the 1922, a Tory leader is, as Johnson believes, safe for a year having survived a vote. But in reality, the executive of the 1922 can vote to hold another vote of no confidence whenever they like."
The above is taken from the New Statesman and if a majority of MPs on the 1922Committee want him gone they can call another vote of no confidence at any time.
 
In reality if he is a liability they dont have to do anything for another year.
No pressure, if in 12 months the economy is still in a shit state and buds of recovery were showing they would replace him like a shot, new broom ect....

When it was Theresa May - who was an incompetent foreign sec and equally incompetent PM - JRM and his crew wanted the rules changed.
