Should Boris resign

Hiding again. BJ has no shame.

ayse, all very convenient - I was just waiting for the 'Covid isolation' excuse. Of course he should go. Now I wait for the leadership challenge.

I’m looking in the bright side. Thanks to BJ, there is so much more public awareness now of the backhanders, working the system, doing your own thing etc. that has gone on for years in government, that future Prime Ministers and governments will have to be much more open about their dealings.
Well I can dream can’t I.
Instead they will carry on doing what they have been doing and the fans of the party in power will say excuse it saying, “At least she’s/he’s not as bad as BJ, or BJ did it first.”

Yes, he should resign. He is not irreplaceable. If the replacement also turns out to be an incompetent cowardly serial liar then they should resign, until they manage to find a party leader with a modicum of integrity.

^I don’t think he should resign. There’s absolutely no one to replace him.^

I really don't understand this attitude. There's nobody to replace him? You mean in all of Parliament there's nobody who would be an improvement on a lying, lazy, entitled layabout with no morals?

What does he have to do that might make you say yes, OK, somebody else might be better? Tell lies to the Queen? Tell his staff to let the bodies pile high in their thousands? Say ***k business?

Oh, wait...

Say something nice about harry and Meghan ? ?

If a family member tests positive and you are fully vaccinated you do not have to isolate
But it is obviously prudent to cut down on contact with others.
So I suppose he can’t win on that one

Family member - could be second cousin, once removed?

PM pulls out of visit after family member tests positive for Covid
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pulled out of a planned visit to Lancashire "due to a family member testing positive for coronavirus", Downing Street says.

Is he hiding yet again?

I don’t think he should resign. There’s absolutely no one to replace him. The House of Commons last night was like being in the theatre watching a very bad production! At one point I thought Keir Starmer was going to break into song!

We’ll never know if someone else would have handled it better, but I’m inclined to think not. Politicians are all cut from the same cloth.

Of course he should resign he can't be praised for the runout of the injection programme the scientists are to be praised for that, he should resign and lets find someone with some sort of moral compass,but that will be difficult as I'm sure some of the contenders for leadership would have been at the so called "work meeting" also.

Yes, and he’s not the only one who should.

Yes , should resign.
How can he lead the country when he can't even recognise a party when he sees one?

No!

You honestly think he's ran the country? He's a lazy lying scumbag

Seriously thread number four on the same topic ??

Of course he should resign. It's part of the Ministerial Code; a minister who misleads (i.e lies to) parliament should resign. He's spent two years lying to Parliament, not to mention lying to the country.

But Dickens is right

with the highly influential ERG group of backbenchers pulling the strings, apparently, I think it makes little difference whether he stays or goes to the electorate.

Several ERG are on the front bench.

I think maybe he should but I don't think he will.

I also think if he'd come clean right from the start, we might not even be discussing this now. He's not handled the fall out very well.

You ask what good has he done.. He has had to run the country in the middle of a pandemic, if you think that is an easy job you are mistaken

But he hasn't "run the country", has he? He's occupied Number 10 and Chequers, gone on holiday a lot and taken time to work on his book.

Yes, no question.

All the good? OK, vaccines - as he's quite keen to remind everyone.
No 2? ....
