Where's the P.M.? Shouldn't he be in view, not hiding away ?

though Johnson with no clothes is not a pleasant image. You're right on that one vegansrock.
Macron is far more preferable with no clothes on!

After a week of omnishambles in exam results, where everyone is blamed except those responsible, one wonders where the “buck stops”, if not at those in government. Johnson fans excuse him of everything - even doing sod all, lying , giving handouts to cronies. When will they see the emperor has no clothes? ( though Johnson with no clothes is not a pleasant image).

You and your fellow Johnson fans have always been a minority UG

In fact, he’s lied about so many things every now and again it jolts me when I remember something else he’s done.

Have people forgotten that Johnson lied to the Queen: amongst all his other lies? Is that now ok?

these days are long gone Urmstongran - do you actually believe Johnson would win now? Really?

He is oven-ready ! (and yes HE did promise an oven-ready DEAL)

Can I ask a question ..please ,Why would you want a PM who "cheers you up" and not one who can do a good job who might not be the life and sould of the party? I remember all this dour scot stuff when Gordon Brown was PM ,maybe he should have walked about with a stupid grin on his face ..IMAGE is not the most important part of being PM ...well not in my book.I didn't vote for G Brown so not backing my own choice

Boris won an 80 seat majority. I have a lot of fellow cheerleaders it seems.

Actually you’re the ones in the minority!

I would be cheered up by an honourable, diligent, honest PM, but not by this immoral, lazy, luar UG.Have you no sense of decency?

Is that a rhetorical question?

but she likes him ;) (why, how ? just can't imagine, but )

Liar

True. He does cheer many of us up (just maybe not on here).
But I’ll be cheered to see Brexit done. Boris will have kept his word so I’ll be happy.

After that?
Whatever. I lent him my vote.
?

Poor Ug will be desolated...
Why so?

Because, you very frequently say that Johnson cheers you up.

And you're going to need a good deal of cheering up when all hell breaks loose in the first few weeks of 2021...

Poor Ug will be desolated...
Why so?

I voted for Boris because he was the only one to promise to ‘Get Brexit Done’.

After 1 January 2021 he will have fulfilled his promise & my vote won’t have been wasted. I’m happy that David Frost is negotiating severance from the EU. He’s dubbed ‘the details man the details men go to’.

After it’s done I’m happy to have someone new in No. 10. People say Boris is lazy and he’ll step down. Actually I don’t think he will but we shall have to wait and see.

If I were Johnson, I wouldn't be accepting cups of tea from Gove

Cummings is employed by Johnson, but if Gove becomes PM, my guess would be that Cummings will stay. I suspect Cummings has been working for Gove all along anyway.

It certainly seems that way. What a lot of bastards they are.

Sunak or Gove.

Johnson is only deputy.

Cummings will remain as PM

I believe that Johnson is only there to be a figurehead to push Brexit thru, managed by Cummings, ERG group etc. He'll be gone when no deal Brexit goes thru (January-ish)

Poor Ug will be desolated...

I suspect that you and growstuff are correct.

Who will we get next, I wonder?

Jabberwok

Oh I give up! This conversation gets more idiotic by the minute! I'll leave you jokers to it! Love to know where all these holidays were, in the last 9 months of course!

Why is it idiotic to expect a leader to lead? Sorry, but I seem to have higher standards than you.

I agree with you.

Urmstongran

I like Boris.
He’s had Covid and deserves a summer week off like anybody else.
Plus, he didnt take paternity leave as the naysayers predicted he would when they called him lazy.

But you see this is a pattern that he has followed since being mayor. Johnson had always been known for being work shy and lazy, this recent absence is merely a continuation of that.
