A new parliamentary year, same old car crash

You’ll soon get the “poor ickle Bowis he’s doing his best, he has been unwell, he’ll be up all night changing nappies ( yeah right) , he has no need to attend meetings or reading documents as other people do it for him, he’s popular and cheers people up” brigade calling everyone moaners, haters or some other negative name calling.

I still think they and Murdoch (and possibly Cummings) are angling for PM Gove I agree. One part of me thinks god help us with the slippery Gove and his sidekick in charge, but then again I do wonder if it would be a good thing. Nobody, but nobody can find Gove in anyway appealing or 'cute' in the way that many people seem to think applies to Johnson who seems to be able to do no wrong in some people's eyes, people have even gone as far as telling us that we should give him a break due to his having been poorly with covid19. Well, and this may come as a suprise to some of you, I don't like Johnson, have always thought he wasn't up to the job through lack of competence, sheer laziness, lies, inability or unwillingness to research anything etc., etc., and I don't think that covid19 has made him any worse, he was bloody awful before it.

If Johnson resigns as PM does that mean he loses the party leadership too?

If he does lose the leadership, wouldn't that mean a leadership contest and would Gove be guaranteed to win it?

Or does Johnson just trot along to the Queen and say he's throwing in the towel and his mate Gove would make a fine successor PM?

Whatever happens, something has got to change.

It can’t go on like this surely! 4 more years - bloody hell!

It’s always been about Gove. Johnson is just a puppet. Gloves relationship with Cummings seems to be quite complicated but it goes back a long way. It would be nice to think that it’s the electorate who decide who is going to lead this country, not Murdoch and Cummings wouldn’t it.

His own supporters are aready setting up for his departure.

Isabel Oakeshott gave a blistering attack on Channel 4 a couple of days ago and even the Tory press has criticised him.

Johnson was dreadful at PMQ , fudge , sidetracking ,unable to keep to a point.It was like watching a beyond the sell by date comedian in an end of the pier show.Ready for retirement ?

Comment.

It won’t be long before Johnson runs away from PMQs

@Keir_Starmer
is completely wiping the floor with
@BorisJohnson
at #PMQs. Utterly destroying him in one of the most powerful, forensic & articulate performances I have ever seen. Starmer has reduced Johnson to a whimpering school boy

Missed it as I nodded off buy DH has just told me Johnson was a disgrace. I’m sure it will be on Facebook soon.

It is.

At least he was sort of prepared for one of the questions. He knew that Starmer would bring up his U turn on meeting the Covid bereaved families. But he couldn't get it right claiming that the group were in litigation with the government. Which they are not. They've asked for an enquiry. That is not 'litigation'.

What a disgraceful exhibition it was...

This is why Johnson and Cummings are going to abolish PMQ's. They know that Johnson can't cope with it.

Johnson is a bumbler and a blusterer. IMHO he couldn't give a straight answer to a straight question if his life depended on it.

I see that Hancock u-turned during PMQs. At midnight last night restrictions were lifted in Manchester area. At midday they were re-imposed.

How anyone can keep up with government policy is beyond me

just appalling - he is done for.

Didn’t (obvs)
