It was a graceless, petulant and self-aggrandising speech, but, you know, leopards & spots.

Absolutely. Spot on!

How can he carry on till Autumn?

Even if it is technically legal, it isn't a tenable option, surely?

Twiceasnice calm down, dear, the Tories are still in charge.

What has Tony Blair got to do with any of this?

TwiceAsNice Thu 07-Jul-22 12:54:16

He did get brexit some others didn’t. I think they all cocked up the pandemic and labour would have us still locked up wearing a mask! He is flawed on a lot of things( as was Tony Blair) but I fear for Ukraine now he’s gone because the rest of Europe couldn’t care less. Be careful what you wish for it’s just going to get worse. Starmer doesn’t stand up for anything!

It WAS the herd instinct. Blooming unpredictive script.

He never apologised and said it wasn’t a the herd instinct wot did it. hmm

It's painful not to be able to see through so many projects myself," Mr Johnson adds. "But as we've seen at Westminster the herd instinct is powerful."When the herd moves, it moves."

Johnson says he was elected with the biggest majority since 1987 and the biggest share of the vote since 1979. He is proud of what he has done, he says. He mentions Brexit and getting the country through the pandemic and delivering the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe. And Britian has led the way in supporting Ukraine, he says

too self-serving ?

He's obviously annoyed, but what else was he going to say?

Doodledog Thu 07-Jul-22 12:37:44

That wasn't bad. Short, to the point, and not to self-serving.

I wonder who wrote it? grin

Did anyone hear the word 'resign'. Did anyone hear any indication of humility whatsoever, or any indication of his understanding why he's now in this position?
Only he could continue to big himself up in such a statement. Delusional to the bitter end!
