In the Sunday morning papers saying he’s wanting to stand for a third term.

I’am sure the 140 MP’s who voted against him are ecstatic. 😮

As for the rest of us. 😫

He should never be referred to as Boris.

He's a slimy politician and should always be called Johnson, or de Pfeffel, or Lying Bastard or ................

Poster on here the other day saying Simon Sadler shouldn't be referred to as SS or Sadler but we should call Simon or Mr Sadler as that’s who he is.

I Was just being nice to a fellow human being. 😀

The maddest thing I read was how he's interpreted losing the two by-elections as a sign that people have had enough of all the nonsense and want him to get on with the job. How the fuck does he come to that conclusion? People voting in droves against the party he leads is somehow in his head a refreshed mandate...
 
I suppose you could argue he’s not a quitter, he obviously believes he can turn it around if he stays, and he knows there’s no obvious candidate to replace him now that Rishi is off the table.

Have to disagree. It’s simply the fact that sociopaths never think they’ve done anything wrong.

Can get 3/1 on Betfair - Keith being replaced this year.

Starmer may well have to step down quite soon if we are to believe media bods and their views on what Durham police will do.
Is it a coincidence that Burnham today pens a piece in the Observer about what Labour should be doing? Maybe, maybe not. Burnham asking for a council house building programme and for Labour to back PR. I'd support both of those ideas. Interesting times.

I think he's a wonderful and inspiring leader of this country!!!!!

However, Boris isn't even his first name - it's Alexander. In his teens he asked to be called Boris just for effect.

I feel de Pfeffel or Lying Bastard are much more accurate and reflective of the character of the man. And don't forget he says he can't change, so that's how it's going to be.

No one wants to quit the gravy train.

When you seriously want to use a donor's money on £150,000 on a tree house for your one year old, when the red wall voters can't afford properties of that value, you're completely out of touch with your power base.

Regarding Starmer staying or going, I think it’s a win : win situation for The Labour Party. Andy Burnham ideally would need to have a seat in Parliament but it has been done before. If Lying Bastard refuses to quit then that will only help in the demise of the Con Party. Tactical voting will put them to the sword in my view.

So is a brick, so not really an endorsement

If a brick was the alternative at the next election I’d vote for the brick.
Starmer is useless in taking Johnson to task but i think that’s a lot to do with him trying not to give the press any ammunition to have a go at him, something most Labour leaders have to endure.
Burnham is a much better orator but I think certain elements of the press would twist his words out of context at every opportunity. The Tory party themselves are well aware of the danger he poses and have tried unsuccessfully to discredit him.

Correct that Starmer is useless in taking Johnson to task, but the reason is that he has no alternative ideas or policies he wants to commit to. He says no return to Europe, but big swathes of his party are pushing for it. He says Labour doesn't back the rail strike while many of his shadow ministers are on the picket line. He tells us that the Tories are not doing enough to help those suffering from rising prices and that his party would do much more, but won't say how he would pay for it. He hasn't really got anything significant to say about Ukraine. Being in opposition is easy; you don't need to do anything except disagree with the govt and that's pretty much all Keir does. What he thinks about price rises, war in Eastern Europe, wage increases etc is irrelevant because his views have no effect on anything.
 
Boris is using Thatchers playbook, her Fauklands is his Ukraine, her miners strike is his rail strike, her stand against unions will result in his summer of discontent.

Why do Labour have to justify every penny spent while the Tories spend billions on contracts for their mates and key donors with not a word said?
 
This Pincher problem might just be the pivotal moment. Tory MPs, like the rest of us, are now weary of the ongoing, one after another, scandals and may decide that now is the time.
 
He didn’t know there were any parties taking place in number 10, but hundreds did, he did know several allegations of sexual misconduct against Chris Pincher had been made, but most MPs did. Does he live in a bunker?
