Apart from PMQs when he is more or less forced to turn up to be humiliated, where is he the rest of the time?

This country totally lacks leadership.

Johnson should take this evenings press thing.

Everyone is taking the flak for him it is ridiculous

Whitewavemark2 Sun 24-May-20 14:08:26

Still no sign.

The country is in crises over covid.

All this nonsense over an expendable spad. What on earth are they thinking about.

Johnson isn’t even beginning to earn his salary.

It's rare, but I totally agree with you, whitewave smile

Shapps has categorically stated on Sky News that Cummings only went to Durham the once so if it's proven beyond doubt that he has been up several times it won't look very good on him.

MissAdventure Sun 24-May-20 15:07:57

They'll just deny it.
No shame at all.

According to the Daily Fail website some Tory MPs have broken ranks and said that DC has to go. He will be out soon as others take courage and join them. Sajid Javid must be having a wee celebration!

One thing that Boris is good at is avoiding Questions from the media. He managed it when standing as leader of the conservative party, and also with Brexit. There was always some other Stooge/minister standing in for him. He is weak and ineffectual and not up to the job, in my humble opinion.

Blimey Johnson is gracing us with his presence at 5pm.

He must think things are getting out of hand, or more likely everyone has refused to take the flak for him at the press conference.

Looks like he is still clinging on to Cummings

MayBee70 Sun 24-May-20 16:19:07

Have they let him out of the fridge then? Or will he have one handy...

Niobe Sun 24-May-20 16:21:42

Yes, today's briefing should be interesting. Of course Cummings will have given Johnson his instructions as to what he is allowed to say.

GillT57 Sun 24-May-20 16:26:32

Johnson is proof of 'Be careful what you wish for'. He is inept, a proven liar, philanderer, so why on earth are we expecting him to suddenly become a decent human being? I had to laugh at something I read on FB earlier; ^asking Johnson to work without Cummins is like asking Emu to work without Rod Hull^ grin

Buntie123 Sun 24-May-20 17:49:45

well that press conference tonight was a total sham !

GagaJo Sun 24-May-20 19:39:01

Oh Gill, that’s great. Exactly!

LadyGracie Sun 24-May-20 20:30:26

If he is feeling anything like my DD after suffering the virus and pneumonia he’s probably still recovering or trying too.

Curlywhirly Sun 24-May-20 20:40:14

LadyGracie well he's obviously feeling much better, he was pictured jogging the other day, so must be on the mend.

He is obviously not fit enough to have engaged his moral compass - if he ever had one.

EllanVannin Mon 25-May-20 18:51:42

I don't think BJ is fully fit at all. In some pics he looks as though he's been dug up.
The odd interviews he's had he was heavily made up as most of them are under lights and cameras, but the man is still unwell. His blubber doesn't help either.

It takes weeks to get over this virus and in some cases, months so I wouldn't be expecting much output from him for a while.

MayBee70 Mon 25-May-20 19:27:57

He’s not fit, full stop. Today’s daily briefing is car crash. The man is an embarrassment.

MissAdventure Mon 25-May-20 19:29:01

Oh dear, boris.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 25-May-20 19:36:21

Johnson looks a busted flush to me.

varian Mon 25-May-20 19:37:35

The man has always been an embarrassment. I remember him as Mayor of London making a toe-curling embarrassing speech at the end of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

It is beyond embarrassing that he is now our PM.

Just one of the reasons that the UK is now a laughing stock around the world.

MissAdventure Mon 25-May-20 19:37:57

I don't think they are going to be drawn into any more discussion.

We're expected to pretend to believe all this codswallop.

varian Mon 25-May-20 19:40:27

I expect some fools will be taken in, but most folk will see it for what it is.
