  • And couldn't give a toss. It's all about Johnson and what he wants.

  • Johnson the law breaker never has been fit for purpose. The worst and most ridiculed PM since Chamberlin now to be followed by either a back stabber or a Thatcher wannabee.

    but not to worry because they (in Downing Street) and their chums are doing just fine.

Cost of living crisis? It's the cost of lockdown crisis.

 

Funny how the likes of Sturgeon who were pushing for harder and harder lockdown measures are now at the front of the queue to complain that the proverbial financial chickens of such lockdowns are coming home to roost. Hopefully the little attention seeker is put back in her box for another year. People have enough problems without having to listen to her trying to cash in the crisis that was caused by policies she was pushing.

Lockdown is well over.

 

Your personal problems with Sturgeon are once again noted.

So you want Boris Jonhson to come back and Govern the Country ?

I can sort of understand that , didnt you want Boris to remain as PM and not to resign in the first place ?

   Even if you want Boris as P.M. , he has now resigned from the position and his successor is being sought .

   So until a new PM is in place , we just have to wait for that to happen

Nonsense.

 

Johnson is still Prime Minister.

 

He’s hung on to the post, but doesn’t want the responsibility.

 

People are suffering, the Tories are doing nothing to help.

 

It’s a failure that is getting noticed.

The process of changing Tory leader is currently in place .

That is what you wanted , don't complain when you get the things you wanted .

  You wanted Boris gone , he is going and the process is in place to replace him .

   Don't complain, it is what you wanted

He chose to remain PM. If he didn't want to do anything, he should have stepped down.

And in the meantime he should either do something to earn his 13 Grand a month or else p!ss off now and hand over to Raab.

No. He has said he will resign. There's a difference.

Lockdown is over but the financial repercussions are just beginning.

What "successful, proud and content majority" are you talking about? The ones in Thailand on their index linked pensions? 

And explain how I am a traitor, unless you wish to clarify your implication that I am such a traitor. Or that the Scots or Irish are?

Well what do you know, who would have ever thought the head of the CBI and myself would be of accord

 

”Danker urged Johnson to meet his two potential successors, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, to thrash out “the principles given they disagree on the mechanics” so the new prime minister is able to implement their plan on 5 September as “people are going to start making decisions now about their finances and life choices”

Boris has been on holiday abroad and he is also selling his London house.

   He does have a life away from work and cannot be expected to be on call 24/7 .

  Considering he got fined when he went into his office over Christmas, its not surprising to hear that he's in no hurry to get back into the office . Holiday abroad , selling his house . 

Who would be in a hurry to get back from a foreign holiday and listen to Sunak and Truss squabbling about taxes ?

You cannot seriously be advocating that as a reason for johnson to avoid the responsibilities of his role. 
 

Laughable and ludicrous once more.

At 13 Thousand Pounds a month, yes he can. Or else move his useless carcass from Downing Street and let Raab take over.

The ministers in Parliament have made it quite clear that his presence in Parliament isnt wanted .

  Would you go back to work if all your colleagues made it clear that they didn't want you in the office ?

I have a feeling that some people want him back in Number 10 , just so they can yell abuse at him , call him names and tell him how to run the Country .

   He should do this, dont do that .

Some people seem to missing their punchbag

Johnson is still Prime Minister, he’s not yet gone, he still holds the powers and still has the responsibilities of Prime Minister.

 

No amount of mental contortions on your part change that fact.

He’s still in a umber 10, he’s still the Prime minister.

 

Quit gaslighting.

You dont seem to understand the situation .

Parliament is currently on their summer holidays , all the M.Ps are on holiday , Truss and Sunak are going around the U.K canvassing for support .

   What is Boris supposed to do ?

Go and sit in Parliament on his own ?

Go and sit in number ten and watch Truss and Sunak on the news ?

Johnson is PM, he has the power and duties of PM.

 

Wriggle away.
