As Rome remains ablaze metaphorically of course).

Even the CBI want issues addressed immediately but now he’s back from his jollies in Slovenia I wonder what other japes he’s got lined up for his last 4 weeks that’ll take precedence over the crises facing the country?
What a legacy he’s leaving eh?

[naomi24]

The reason he can’t intervene is explained in your link - and I posted a link elsewhere explaining the role of a ‘caretaker’ prime minister - but I don’t suppose you took the trouble to read that either. Your excitement gets the better of you.

[FatticusInch]

Ah, excuses excuses, as per.
I’m sure he could have go At something though, couldn’t he?
Or has he still got the hump with Rishi in the same way that you have?

Posted a link elsewhere? I don’t follow your every post as you do mine, dear! Lol

[davebro]

if measures need to go through parliament they will have to wait till they get back from their jollies.

[FatticusInch]

From the link.

The statement was met by a wave of challenges from MPs and business leaders on Monday afternoon.
The CBI, which represents
thousands of British businesses, urged the prime minister to "end
the August power vacuum" by bringing together the two
leadership candidates to agree a way forward.

So it is excuses then, from you and him? What are the odds? Lol.

[naomi24]

Excuses, excuses. You were your usual vocal self on the other thread. You just didn’t bother to read the link - just as you haven’t bothered to read your own here. Heaven forbid that anything should detract from your purpose.

Here you are. Read … and learn.

Clearly on a par Naomi. :))

[naomi24]

Haaa! As always. ;o)

[FatticusInch]

Lol, it’s a link to ‘could, what-ifs and maybes’.
This is a PM who tore up and watered down the ministerial code so anything is within his remit.
From your link.

The Cabinet secretary Simon Case may also check any rash or untoward actions. However, given his current record in Downing Street, which included overseeing the illegal lockdown parties in which he was pictured with Mr Johnson, his authority has been undermined. Sir David described Mr Case's experience of working alongside the prime minister as akin to “being a bystander at a car crash”.

Also.

“We are in slightly uncharted waters because there are no rules about a transition like this as there are only conventions,” he said.

A caretaker prime minister “should not be taking major decisions about future policy”, he told the BBC, but that could prove problematic given the war in Ukraine and a looming economic crisis.”

So they’ll try and push ahead with the Rwanda deportations but won’t heed a call from MP’s and the CBI in an attempt to help the citizens of this country?

As I said, what a pathetic legacy.

yeah fatticus - fantastic
I thought : if he doesnt want to be Prime Minister (*) then why doesnt he just sodd off and leave the door open ( of NO 10 that is!) for someone who does

(*) doesnt want to be PM - yeah good one, - interior deco done free, week end holidayhome - free parties, getting your pals into the Old Baggaz Home ( House of Lords that is!)

[FatticusInch]

Also, from The Guardian.

//Johnson declined the former Labour prime minister Gordon Brown’s suggestion of a cost of living summit between No 10, Truss and Sunak as he returned from a holiday in Slovenia. No 10 refused to say who had paid for the prime minister’s break.//

Not weaselling another freebie from a party donor was he? Or was it one of his Russian friends this time(again?)
Mrs Churnukin might enlighten us shortly?
Hope he didn’t lose his security detail this time! Lol

[naomi24]

You didn’t like what he did but, quite bizarrely, you want him to carry on doing it. Come on fatticusinch, confess. You’re missing him already. :o)))

[Peter Pedant]

// Clearly on a par with Naomi. :))//

god she will have you for stalking toagie

yeah Fatticus - laugh of the day - (Naomi trying to make sense, no not that, ) laugh of the day - Boris sticking to convention.... ho ho ho

In fact, Boris making up a convention on the lam and then saying he will stick to it ( for a few days...until something better comes along)

ah, via mundi, as Boris would probably quip
ὁδός κοσμου...

[Peter Pedant]

// and I posted a link elsewhere explaining the role of a ‘caretaker’ prime minister //

Naomi explaining why Boris 'has' to follow rules - - did I just read that?

Boris luckily has recovered his devil may care, do-what-I-like attitude and has further explained that this is the first time ( first time for what Boris?) we have had a caretaker and so ....there are no rules

Lying to cover for a predatory sex pest? You’re right, I didn’t like that he did that so why would I want him to do it again?
If he’s going to hang on to the bitter end he might have one last final go at ‘delivering for the British people’ or bog off like he ought to have done, we don’t need him taking to the air again with the RAF for sh1tts and giggles.

Lol, not as much as the dummy-spitter who won’t play ‘Let us all be happy Tories together’ when ToraToraTora wants a Truss-fest and you petulantly refuse to indulge him! PMSL

[naomi24]

A creek with a distinct absence of a paddle. Oh dear. :o)

//A creek with a distinct absence of a paddle. Oh dear. :o)//

Indeed, a rather fitting epithet to summarise the Johnson administration.

[naomi24]

Haaaa! Poor old fatticusinch. I bet you never thought you’d be wanting him to step in again - and so soon too. Your poorly foot must be really sore now. Never mind. :o)

[FatticusInch]

Lol, ToraToraTora is busy again tonight!
