Boris

[Paigntonian]

I wouldn't be all surprised if he decided to go. He's had an awesomely difficult time and, having climbed the greasy pole, he's maybe achieved what he set out to do - getting to the top. He was very resentful that his Oxford mate Cameron got there first. He's also skint so the Blair option of making megabucks in a very short time must be appealing. As for his legacy, he can always say 'he get Brexit done', however vacuous that line. And if he were to go would most people think too badly of him? I think not.

the country didn't choose him but the party did. It would be madness to change leader now, hence we are stuck with him for good or ill.

[emmie]

i wouldn;t want to be in his shoes for love nor money

[douglas9401]

My Boris, right or wrong.

Jesus!

Emmie, of course the country chose him. The electorate knew who would be PM when they cast their vote.

[emmie]

look back to the post before douglas i said i am neither pro nor anti b

[naomi24]

//i wouldn;t want to be in his shoes for love nor money //

And neither would anyone else here, emmie... even Jesus.

[emmie]

did they. It could just as easily been Michael Gove.

[emmie]

i am glad im not in politics is all i can say.

[emmie]

you got Nicola douglas what you worried about

[Ken4155]

Whether or not anyone would want the job is totally irrelevant, imvho. Boris wanted it. Boris got it.

[emmie]

so he did,

[Theland]

With a good spin doctor his reputation will shine brightly.

[Ken4155]

Emmie, Michael Gove? At the election, when i voted, the leader of the Tory party was Boris Johnson.

[emmie]

so for now there is no changing leader.

[naomi24]

//Whether or not anyone would want the job is totally irrelevant, imvho. Boris wanted it. Boris got it. //

Just as well he did. The alternative was unthinkable.

[emmie]

all i know is cribbing about him and the mistakes isn't going to change anything - when the next election rolls around, vote labour

[emmie]

meanwhile the party could hold a vote of no confidence

[douglas9401]

Just imagine, if Johnson hadn't won he'd be the greatest leader we never had.

That should put all the whataboutery from the fan-girls in some kind of perspective.

[Ken4155]

When the next election rolls around, i'll do what i (and millions like me) always do. See who is offering me the best deal, then vote accordingly.

[emmie]

then hopefully labour don;t sell the country down the river - they want
more devolution not less.
