Cometh The Hour, Cometh The Man ?

[Khandro]

Isn't he the man for the job? a leading article in today's Telegraph suggests so, he left the government over Chequers showing resolve, his best qualities are charisma, clarity of philosophy and willingness to take risks. He is, like his hero Churchill, a singular man waiting to be called. Such politicians are often disliked for long periods of time, until their colleagues suddenly realise they were right all along and that, even if they are not necessarily wanted, they are needed. This feels more and more like the hour of Boris Johnson.
Do you agree?

[dunnitall]

Totally agree I have always liked him.

[Calicogirl]

I really do hope not :/

[bhg481]

His last-minute switch of sides at the referendum made me realise that his only interest is Boris. I will never trust him again.

[Calicogirl]

He's an out and out liar full stop. He tweeted he'd just voted in the local elections and urged everyone else to do the same, til it transpired that there were no local elections he could have voted in, then he deleted his tweet. Not only is he a liar and therefore untrustworthy, he's not even very good at it, and some people want that running the country?

[ToraToraTora]

Not my choice at the moment, though I'd prefer almost anyone to Agent COB.

[Old_Geezer]

He's certainly an option. And near the top of the list of those in a position to go for the job when available.

I suppose it's understandable that Churchill is his hero. Churchill had no scruples and was callous in his leadership. Are those the things that Boris wants to emulate?

[Ken4155]

I sincerely hope with all my heart that i am 100% correct in my assumption that he has missed that particular boat.

[Kromovaracun]

Cringe.

[douglas9401]

You have to wonder if Khandro is

a. Head of the Elect Boris organisation
and
b. Drunk.

[spathiphyllum]

I think Borris would make just a good PM as any other Tory MP.

[Calicogirl]

Yeah that's the problem Spath lol :)

[dannyk13]

I don't think Boris has enough support among the Tories for him to become their leader.

[ichkeria]

For him to have a chance he’d have to come through the Parliamentary party vote and I’d say there’s next to no chance of that unless the PP has disintegrated by then.
If the Tories have any sense they’ll somehow try to find a candidate to unite them. Johnson emphatically is not that person.

[Old_Geezer]

But there again, who has ? Or perhaps more relevant who has that's going to be an improvement on our present remainer PM ?

"Calicogirl 08.26" Spot on , " An out and out Liar"

[naomi24]

According to polls, which some assure us are a reliable indication of public opinion, quite curiously he comes out as both the best – and the worst - choice. Not to everyone’s taste perhaps – but rather unique and not easily ignored.

[spathiphyllum]

Anyone but Gove. I beg ANYONE but Gove. I'd rather another woman to be honest. Johnny Mercer wouldn't be too bad. Esther McVey would be aight?

[dannyk13]

I wouldn't be upset if Dominic Raab got the job, he seems to be a sensible type.

[Old_Geezer]

Well that is a bit extreme spath. Another woman ! Haven't they done enough to the Tory party and nation already ? Steady on there.
