He broke the law with no shame,now he,s broken his government.A broken government = a broken country.

41% chancers, 59% pragmatists.

Hardly surprising, and good to know who are who.

Now they have to make progress on the EU/NI issue, and dry up the flood of illegal economic immigrants too, whilst getting the economy sorted, inflation under control, and convincing the Russians to discover morality and stop bullying their neighbours for fun & gain. (And if they can sort out the Chinese government's genocide attempts too, that would be a bonus.)

OG,
Sadly none of that will happen.
The PM and Government will be more concerned with survival and fighting their enemies. They will be totally distracted and unfocused.
The shitshow will continue but on steroids.

May's resignation had little to do with the confidence vote - it was her failure to get an acceptable Brexit deal & get it through Parliament that triggered her resignation.

Major's [i] *** [i] are still around then.

The longer Johnson hangs around, the better it is for Labour.
It's just a question of much of his bet, does Johnson think he's won with the other Bullingdon Buffoons, ie, that when at Eton, he probably bet his contemporaries that he could rise to the highest position in politics whilst taking the pi ss out of everyone and getting away with it. Keep him where he is and lots of his parliamentary colleagues will be out of work after the next election. Good for Labour!

^^^^ "how much of his bet"^^^^

Typo folks!

Writing is on the wall now.

As I said yesterday Johnson would cling to power with just one vote, he will have to be forced. I suspect this was the start of things and timed to be just prior to the two by-elections (he will loose) a the report. Add to that his policies (or that of his wifes) that are causing financial ruin for some unfettered illegal immigration, agro with the EU and a failure to make use of Brexit benefits will bee the end of him.

6 months tops.

Boris is now just "A dead man walking".

He could hardly keep the smirk off his face this morning at the cabinet meeting. I think he's suffering from a personality disorder, no one that detached from reality can be 'normal'.
