Oh the irony of Whitewave quoting Piers Morgan!!!

From yet another friend I heard how the rest of Europe look on Britain as laughing stock and I’m afraid our PM symbolises that. I really wish that were not the case, I would have been delighted for Boris to prove me wrong and do a decisive dignified statesmanlike job.

I thought he was taking paternity leave.

I did laugh at the “patsy” comment. I wonder which minister is currently highest on Boris’ shit list.

I n the fridge. Awkward questions coming up, where would he be ?

I expect they're practising different versions of the truth as we speak..

"I know! Let's say you didn't have it"

"No, that won't wash. How about we say you did have it and that's why?"

SPAD bingo! Should we start a book on which excuse is going to be trotted out?

Johnson must be so relieved that there is no PMQs this week.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 23-May-20 12:29:16

Who will be the “patsy” to take the questions this evening.

Here is a handy game to pass the time as they squirm and lie

Don't you dare hide again today @BorisJohnson - front the daily briefing & tell the British public why it was one rule for them & another for your chief adviser.
Or be damned by your cowardice.

If he has any integrity, he is sitting with his head in his hands, trying to do the right thing by the public.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 23-May-20 12:12:27

I would expect him certainly to turn up at the press conference this evening to defend or otherwise his spad. He is the only one who can sack DC.

Don’t read it then calender meanwhile I think the question is worth asking as long as the UK’s PM thinks it fine to disappear and not provide the leadership so badly needed.

Daisymae Sat 23-May-20 12:10:18

It does seem to be a real issue at the moment. Where is he???

Calendargirl Sat 23-May-20 12:07:12

There was a ‘Where’s Boris?’ thread on Wednesday.

Can this question not be tacked onto that one?

Gransnet threads seem to be rather repetitive and a bit boring lately.

GagaJo Sat 23-May-20 12:06:31

Couldn't agree more. Chaos outside. Some counts put the country's excess deaths at 55,000 now. The government's own count shows us heading towards 40,000. His KEY aide being defamed in the media.

Stone cold silence. Invisible.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 23-May-20 12:01:35

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.
