Does anyone here believe, as I do, that Johnson is finished (and I am sure HE does know himself)

I’ve been saying it for years but each time he seems to get away with things that no other politician would. Attempt to prorogue parliament for eg. Jennifer Arcuri. The list is endless.

I feel it is certainly palpable, if not 'substantial'- yes.

Yes, I think he’s in his third act now, the public is falling out of his thrall, so his personal popularity ratings are reducing.
Here’s some evidence as requested by MayBeMaw.

He looks totally lost and dejected- with Biden, at the G5 Summit- the total lack of reaction to his kermit 'joke', and on, and on. And total lack of solutions to the HGV/food/petrol shortage.

Is that it then Kali2 ?
I was hoping for something much more substantial.

I still can't really believe he's PM - so who knows what the idiots will vote for next!

What signs?

I can't stand the blustering, lying, unkempt, libidinous git, but see no signs that he'll be finished soon.

I agree. I must admit some signs would cheer me up.

They're all as bad as each other, they could look at the back benches, that's doubtful though!

MayBeMaw Sat 25-Sept-21 19:24:43

No? Could you share what you think are “all the signs”.
What have you spotted?
Defeat in the Commons? ?
Back bench rebellion?

That would be so wonderful

Kali2 Sat 25-Sept-21 19:12:26

And THAT is a huge worry, for sure.

theworriedwell Sat 25-Sept-21 19:06:25

We can only hope but of course there is the worry of which idiot we get next.

grannyactivist Sat 25-Sept-21 19:04:59

Whether he stays or goes is in the hands of the Mail and the Telegraph I think - and right now there doesn’t seem to be an appetite to replace him. The Mail is no longer as supportive as it has been, but hasn’t yet started to openly support potential replacements and the Telegraph is clearly frustrated, but not enough to stick the knife in yet.

No.... havent noticed.

lemongrove Sat 25-Sept-21 18:48:36

No.

Kali2 Sat 25-Sept-21 18:48:07

All the signs are there, no?
