The leader has become a liability

Anyone noticed that Johnson’s support has begun to wan at PMQs?

At one stage Tory MPs would shout support to the rafters every chance they got, but now many don’t bother turning up and the shouts of support seem forced and hollow.

Johnson isn’t delivering, and they are watching an opposition leader who is becoming more confident by the week, whose effortless delivery of attacking questions that hit home every time particularly now that he has a shadow cabinet he wants with the support he will get.

The wheels are looking decidedly wobbly. Johnson’s ineptitude, lies and failure to deliver policy without seemingly constant u-turns is wearing thin.

His time is coming.

A sign of the times- I posted the above last evening- and not a single person has come to say I was talking nonsense and Johnson will still be PM well into 2022 and next Elections.

Mr.Johnson will remain PM until such time as enough Conservative MPs send in their letter of no confidence to the 1922 committee.

If the U.K. appears to be coping/dealing with the Omicron numbers/hospitalisations I am not sure that they will be rushing to put the letters in. The middle of a pandemic is not an ideal time for a leadership challenge.

Oh well if you're all happy with a lying, cheating. thieving lump of lard .and I have missed out some of his assets, in case you wondered where the rest of the list went ,then it says as much about YOU as it does about him.
We however haven't voted for a Tory majority since 1955 and now that we've seen this horror show it will be the next century... if ever ... before it happens again ."Becoming a liability ? Looks like he has never been anything else !

I thought the PM gave a very strange answer when asked where he had been for the last 10 days.

What did he say, coastpath?

(I've been doing other things all day, just catching up now)

When asked where he has been for the last ten days he laughed and said, "I have been in this country".

I did see a carton about him being on holiday but didn’t understand what it meant.

Bercow, they will say, and yes, spot on he is

Is he there?

The foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, will spend Christmas at Chevening after winning a battle to take sole charge of the 115-room grace and favour mansion in Kent.
