Even I, as a Tory hater, thought Theresa had some integrity.

I’ve just read an article where a journalist has called Starmer a
cast iron chateau bottled yawn
I think I’d rather take the brick bats hurled at Boris than be thought of in this light ?
After all, you stop listening to people if they’re boring, don’t you ?

I bet he has been given quite a few dark warnings from his own side, but will no doubt continue for quite a while.Depending on how this next year goes for him, he could even go into the next GE!

I’m with lemon grove in believing Johnson will continue as PM and Tory leader for a while yet. But - you’re correct white wave, they aren’t happy with him. The Conservatives are ruthless once they decide to get rid.
One thing in Johnson’s favour, is he isn’t female. Look at their treatment of Thatcher. As for the cruelty, humiliation meted out to Theresa May, words fail. She had some integrity , Johnson has none

There was hardly anyone there this week.....on all sides.No front bench support either for Conservatives or Labour, where were they all?
I think Johnson will be there for a while yet....don’t get your hopes up Whitewave ?

WW2: 'has become a liability'??? Some of us have always seen him that way (a complete clown, embarrassment, joke etc.) and failed to comprehend how anyone could like him.

I noticed even the news appear to be showing PMQs...something itv certainly hasn't been doing in a long time.

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.
