Billy no mates - how embarrassing is our PM?

I thought it was very funny. Am not a “Boris hater”, think he’s to be pitied in many ways.

I’m afraid I don’t agree. Our country is to be pitied for having such a pathetic Prime Minister.

How was Macron adjusting his tie when, according to GN, nobody was talking to him ?

Well I fail to see how he can be popular with Putin and Zelensky Petera! That doesn’t add up.

Urmstongran

Well, whatever the judgement on our “seat of the pants PM” - ending the week as best friends with Ukraine and Kremlin rubber stamped enemy no.1 is pretty decent.

Of course the Kremlin have called him enemy no. 1.

Putin may be unhinged but he's not stupid; he wants Johnson to be in charge here.

Lucca you’re another one who’s missed the joke against Boris. Macron was adjusting Boris’ tie for him?
Oh never mind it’s never funny f you have to explain a joke.

Lucca

And his change with the wind character gives you no cause for concern ?

Had to laugh last night when a friend of mine said “Macron adjusting his tie. A bit more pressure and he could have done us all a favour.”

Hilarious

Channelling your inner Farage?

You’ve misunderstood WWMk2‼️
Macron was adjusting Boris’ tie. That’s why I laughed and thought the comment would amuse the Boris haters.
No - I’m not channelling my inner Farage...

I thought exactly the same when I saw the photo of the NATO leaders yesterday. Placing Boris next to Macron was a sartorially cruel gesture, he looked like a bag of last weeks washing, whereas Macron was pin neat and alert. Appearance and body language really do matter.

From what I have seen M. Macron not only knows how to adjust a tie so as to not look like our scarecrow PM, but he more than most seems to have some access to Putin's ear. Your friend seems to be choosing a good guy as the enemy Urmstongran.

I saw a clip on the news - all the delegates were standing in tiers for the photo shoot. That done they broke ranks to talk to others. Johnson was left standing on his own and obviously not knowing what to do with himself. A bit like being at a party where you don't know many people and they ignore you.

Quick look at Zelenskyy's twitter. Fullsome thanks for Johnson. And for Trudeau, the PM of Greece and the PM of Egypt.

I don't think Johnson's as uniquely popular as he'd like you to believe he is. ?

Lucca, I know someone too. The dogs got visas weeks before the actual humans in the family

I think it tragic that at this critical time for the whole world we have such a person as Johnson in charge.
He hasn’t exactly got a sparkling track record to date, and if we assume that previous conduct is a reliable indicator of future competency I think we should be weeping.

And his change with the wind character gives you no cause for concern ?

This is all true is it ??

I thought that article was singularly unfunny sorry.
Boris is a disgrace, not a buffoon, an untrustworthy self centred individual,who changes allegiance to suit. Remainer….then Brexiteer, Friend of oligarchs, Lebedev to mention but one, now claiming to be the no1 support of Ukraine.
Saying we will welcome Ukrainian refugees while doing nothing to make Priti Patel et al make the process remotely easy. And I know for a fact how hard it is. I have a young relative who with two other friends has arranged to rescue three families. (They’ve driven to Poland to collect them) She was so disgusted with how incredibly hard it was (super intelligent girl with high flying career) she has emailed every single influential person she can think of to complain.good on her. I’d bet Johnson hasn’t a clue how it works/doesn’t work.

He is a shocker isn't he?! Trouble is I genuinely believe he thinks he's doing a good job. Would that the next GE was much sooner. However, May results should be revelatory. Trouble is I can't see a desirable replacement. Yes, I used to say a predictable 'anyone' but, having looked at the prospectives, I'm unimpressed.

What Ur.mstongran said.

I didn’t think it was Boris.
It was Ms Grant in her article today??

Going back to the comments made by @westendgirl regarding last night's Question Time. The programme just highlights how biased the BBC is.

The questions chosen and majority of panel were chosen to deprecate the government. Any PM would have had the utmost difficulty dealing with Brexit, global pandemic, now Ukraine.

When a panel member stated that our current national debt is costing over £80 billion to finance each year, no-one seemed interested, just continued condemning everything they do.
