Should Boris do the decent thing and resign?

I totally agree with you, how relieved I am to live in Wales Helenlouise3. Not everybody agrees with Mark Drakeford’s politics but there is no whiff of personal scandal about him. Fundamentally he has principles and he cares, he is trying to do his best and the population appreciate that I think.

Despite our many problems sometimes I'm so glad that I live in Wales. Should Boris resign -yes most definitely. I really don't understand how anyone would want to keep him at the helm. He's a disgrace. How many more debacles do we have to listen to?

Don't believe everything you read. The media have been out to get him from the onset. Whoever replaces him will simply be their next target. Too many trials by media for my liking, wish they could just move on.....

Bloody hell. Another one

Having written my piece above I have noticed your comment dolphindaisy and cannot agree at all with what you say. Keir Starmer has done arguably far worse than anything Bumbling Boris has. As head of CPS he had the opportunity to stop some of the awful damage that Jimmy Savile inflicted but chose not to. That should be a big blot on his character.

Kier Starmer was head of CPS when it was decided to ignore complaints against Jimmy Saville by several women. I prefer Boris

Not this again. I can't even be bothered to tell you just how wrong you are. When I read posts like yours I realise why we have the government we have.

Boris will never resign, he wouldn’t know how to behave decently or how to tell the truth. He has spent his life surrounded by old Etonians who only know success and huge wealth and supporting each other old chap.
He is a lying toe rag and has the matter of authorising to bring back an animal charity worker and a lot of dogs from Afghanistan in preference to bringing back British passport holders, 3 Downing Street parties, having Carries friend to stay over Christmas which of course the rest of us were not allowed to do and now a new baby to go on Paternity leave with. No wonder he doesn’t have time to hang up his suits or comb his hair. He is a horrible despicable man and I hope that other Conservatives turn on him. I feel really let down and angry about how he behaves.

He and his corrupt cronies should go immediately and be replaced by the WI, so they can teach the imbeciles how to behave with honor, integrity and decency.

We are lumbered with him until he's ready to go.

All those saying you we would rather have Boris Johnson as PM than Keir Starmer, what you are really saying is you prefer to have a lazy, lying, cheating, uncaring, individual as PM rather than a decent, honest, trustworthy individual who went into politics to try and improve things for the many not just his wealthy cronies.

Boris doing the decent thing? That's an oxymoron - he wouldn't recognise decent if it bit him!

Sorry I disagree with those who think Boris should resign. I think he's doing o.k. under the circumstances. He got Brexit done. It must be hard for any prime minister especially as he had covid to contend with as well. He needs to reel in his cabinet though and let them know who's boss. I dread to think what would happen if we had a labour government.

Well we know what it's like to have a Conservative Government, and in my opinion, it's been a total disaster. There's more to governing the country than getting Brexit done (and that's been disastrously handled too!).

Sadgrandma, if Hunt is the most sensible - we're in trouble!

How does anybody think we vote for a PM ?? We never have ! It is the leader of the party which has the majority of seats who becomes PM !
MPs vote for their leader as do party members ! I can only vote for a local candidate unless I become a member of a political party !!
I have never voted for a PM !!!

With the latest Omnicom scare, I don't think now is the right time for such an upheaval since a new PM would want to re-shuffle their cabinet when everyone should be concentrating on the job in hand. I doubt he would ever resign anyway , but he will be chucked out before too long anyway. I agree with Lupin that Jeremy Hunt would do a good job. He seems to be the most sensible one.

Part of the trouble is no-one wants to take over it is such a poisoned chalice at the mo. And, in my view, there is almost no-one in government who would be better - they are all despicable.

An 80 seat majority could be a reason he doesn't resign and why his party may think twice about booting him out - they must have known what he was like before electing him as leader. I bet the Labour party were thanking their lucky stars they weren't in go ernment when Covid arrived, how might they have dealt with it- thankfully we'll never know.

Yes, I agree too, Kali and Cali. I think he’d make a really good leader given the chance.

I truly think Keir Starmer would be brilliant.

I agree.

The problem is that he is "Steady Eddie" and perhaps lacks charisma.
It shouldn't be a consideration but unfortunately it is.

Ian Blackford is a hypocrite who broke the rules himself last year so I cannot listen to a word he says about anything.

He didn't break the rules though, did he?

I truly think Keir Starmer would be brilliant.

There have been complaints about Boris Johnson and the Conservative party since they came to power.
Who do you think would do a better job?

Just back from the chiropodist. She said that there hasn’t been a single person today who has not brought the subject up and who isn’t totally disgusted by Johnson and his ilk .
