Seems like Boris made the choice of giving a known groper/molester a top job and they have lost confidence in his decision making and they feel that its time for a change .

    

Well that, bi election pommelings, constant lies and general incompetence.

 

But who’d have thought it’d be someone else’s sexual misbehavior that brought down Johnson?!

What is "the truth" that the U.K public need to be told about Brexit ?

Need to be told that the break with there trading neighbors  was a mistake

The known homosexual MP Mr Price is just an excuse . The loss of the byelections is the loss of confidence for the back stabbing Tory ministers

How did you get that information ?

Have you spoken to the M.P's who resigned ?

There is no doubt that both major Parties have MPs who are morally unfit for the role. The fundamental difference seems to be that Labour expel them from the Party (e.g. Webbe), whereas the Tories elect them Leader (e.g....I'll leave to your imagination).

Webbe was expelled from Labour for threatening to send naked photos to Children and also threatening to throw acid over someone and getting jailed  , that's rather different to groping someone

Not at all upset.

 

The damage is done.

 

We are just getting to the good bit, nobody does an internecine knife fight like the Tories.

 

 

Thats a bit like going to watch a football match and cheering on both teams .

Celebrate if Boris stays and also celebrate  if he Goes 

 

[baboon]

36 resignations and counting....

[Chomper Higgot]

More dirt coming out about Pincher.

 

He’s going to have to resign his seat (pun intended).

 

Another bi-election, what glee!

To explain it in terms of your chosen metaphor:

 

I don’t care if the Tory team continue to score home goals or set about fouling each other.

 

Do long as they are all given the red card.

These are business decisions and them doing what they think is best .

Its not about "fouling" or" back-stabbing" .

These people don't just jump in one corner and stand in that corner defending their side out of loyalty to their cause .

Due to Borises decisions, they don't want to be associated with him and so are resigning .

   They aren't in the trenches fighting the enemy .

Its a good thing that Politicians make intelligent choices , rather than just blindly supporting one person

That’s going down really well with a pint of Pedigree, thanks for the humour.

There seems to be a problem with intelligence these days .

Any given subject people from the left match into their corner and people from the right march into their corner and they just throw pelters at each other and no intelligent discussion

Johnson has sacked Michael Gove for telling him uncomfortable truths.

 

Has this poor excuse for a man no shred of decency:

Well they won't stick with him so, sooner or later, we will find out how much of a gift.

Looking from the outside and as an outsider I think it would be a huge change if the UK would get someone as the PM who tells them the truth. Including the truth about the miserable Brexit situation. Even if they try, there is no good solution. And who wants a job to tell the truth and frustrate everybody and pi#$# off maybe 50% of the voters. It's a horrible job in a bad situation. Who in his right mind would want such a job?

And that is probably the reason why another dimwit will get the job.

I hope you are not from the USA, because if you are, I think you will receive a few broadsides over that post.....????

Well done Boris. Gove is a snake and has stitched him up in the past. A sign of strong leadership to remove him.

 

I thought Boris would be gone by now, seems he's really digging his heels in. Must be annoying a few people ????.

It doesn't seem like a good enough reason to me to bring down a PM who won an 80 seat majority and is more likely just another bandwagon for the people who are still salty about Brexit to jump on.  I had never heard of this MP prior to this week.   How is it that the deviants in the Labour Party (of which there are some pretty famous ones) do not bring down Starmer?

Final total of resignations in one day - 44!

 

The highest number of resignations in one day that any PM has ever suffered.

No, I am definitely not from that strange land of the free.

The UK is bad enough but the USA seems to be hopeless for the foreseeable future. 

I live since decades in Thailand and that is what I call home.

Hardly a sign of strong leadership given that Johnson appointed Gove in the first place.

Slightly annoying but mainly embarrassing for Johnson, the Tory party and the UK. So far as I'm concerned, the longer Johnson embarrasses himself and the Tories the better: They both deserve it. Unfortunately, it's the embarrassment caused to the country that's the problem.

Actually, sacking someone that you appointed is indeed a sign of strength. I have personal experience of people refusing to sack people since they appointed them and don't wish to admit they were wrong. That's weak.

 

As for embarrassing the country, just be glad we don't have Starmer, Rayner, Abbott, Lammy representing us. Now THAT would be embarrassing.

Shame is the operative word. To hang on - seemingly at all costs - when your ministerial colleagues are telling you to go. Shows what a self-centred opportunist Johnson is.

 

Also a shame for Johnson. Just missed out on his half-century.

Proved by the fact that he won the vote of confidence a couple of weeks ago.

So Johnson is the embodiment of a strong leader?

 

No matter how poor the opposition is, they cannot possibly bring as much embarrassment to the country as this current government. 

[Chomper Higgot]

Johnson’s sense of entitlement shows up again.

 

Clinging on, firing those who give him advice he doesn’t want to hear.

 

As some have mentioned, an 80 seat majority, and yet he still couldn’t hold his government together.

 

The scores of people who have resigned have spoken openly about Johnson’s lack of truth, trust and decency.

 

What a disgraceful excuse for a ‘leader’.

The man has no shame.
