Boris , Resignation?.

[gulliver1]

What do you think of the Boris Resignation speech ?.

[rowanwitch]

Not impressed, ok to say that sort of thing from a position of impotence, he will be another one who will grumble away on the back benches Until he is forgotten

[gulliver1]

Geoffrey Howe , made a far far better job of bringing down Thatcher with his speech, than Boris did with his attempt to bring down May.

[gulliver1]

Think his greatest fan was IDS, the look on Smiths face said it all . Like a schoolboy worshipping a football star.

[rowanwitch]

Back then politics was far more fun, proper beasts at each other's throats

[Old_Geezer]

It was fine. Measured in criticism of the pandering to the EU/remainers instead of pursuing the vision that the PM outlined, whilst not being over the top.

[youngmafbog]

Sounds about right OG.

If he had been more of a 'beast' then the papers, and no doubt you gull, would have been all over him for that.

YMB, Always liked the Worzel Gummige show, never fails to make me laugh

[douglas9401]

I imagine most of it will turn out to be lies, as usual.

[Gromit]

Boris is a good writer, but has never been great at speaking. His speech was just what I expected, a bit of a let down.

[gulliver1]

Think he thought he was making a speech at the Bullingdon Club.

[Bazile]

So is that the end of Boris the wonder boy?

School report
Unfortunately the promise shown at the start never materialised into anything

[dannyk13]

I doubt that we've heard the last of him.

[Arrods]

Oh gawd Danny - you don't mean 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' or, even better(?) Strictly Come Dancing.

[dannyk13]

I was thinking more of from the back benches.

[naomi24]

Arrods, he isn't leaving parliament. He'll remain an MP ... and danny is right. We haven't heard the last of him.

[Arrods]

Danny, oh Danny - it was a joke! (OK, my OH always said I had an odd sense of humour.)

[Arrods]

Naomi - ditto!

[gulliver1]

Arrods, I can just imagine Boris on Come Dancing. LOL.

[gulliver1]

Didn't know they did Strictly Come Dancing, from the back benches.

[naomi24]

Arrods, ah, right. A joke. On a gullliver thread, that figures. ;o)
