Boris Back by Christmas! ?

I didn’t say that it ‘was so’
I was actually shocked that they said it, hence the I added.

I give up

I wish she’d worn un underskirt so it wasn’t so clingy
Me too.

This photo was quite poignant. Wilfred's joyful little skip!
I admire Boris and Carrie for not shoving their children into the limelight.

In his speech yesterday he thanked Dilyn, and even name checked Larry, but he didn’t thank or mention Carrie

Not by name, but he thanked the staff for looking after him and his family

Perhaps he and Carrie have no "occasional difficulties" worth mentioning Fanny!!!
I'm sure he would have run his speech past Carrie,maybe they even crafted it on holiday in Greece or wherever. Maybe she didn't want a mention?

‘The consensus is that it was the epitome of bad taste’

It is a beautiful dress, and she carries it perfectly.
BUT it has a slit all the way down to waist exposing her back, and is totally unsuitable to go and meet the Queen- that is the issue with it.

This is all daft!
I'm sure the Queen has seen lots of unsuitable backs and shoulders in her time!

I reckon they were up all night celebrating their freedom and that was the dress she wore in the evening. Good for them. A new beginning.

Not for an official and very important meeting for a PM to resign, no she has not. The dress is beautiful, the judgement about the suitability for the occasion, is just not.

It did look rather celebratory ?

I'm no expert on etiquette but perhaps you don't turn your back to face her when you have an audience with her Majesty? Then she'd never have known!

Pity you chose photos of a far more tasteful ensemble worn by a far more elegant young lady with which to illustrate your point...

Pity the whole, somewhat serious thread, degenerates into criticism of other posters even!

Just caught up with all the ding dong about the dress.. my thoughts for what they are worth are that though it was a lovely dress it was totally unsuitable for the occasion and she should have worn an underskirt and made he her hair a bit tidy. To be honest she looked liked she had just got in from a night out. So will I now get all the how horrid comments?

I beg your pardon?

You didn't make your point at all with the example you chose.

FWIW I thought Carrie's dress was not particularly nice and was inappropriate to the occasion. It exemplified the contempt with which the pair of them hold the PM's office and the people of the UK. See through and vulgar...

I have to say that I don't understand why not particularly talented freeloader Carrie isn't subjected to the same virulent dislike that was handed out to Cherie Blair...

I thought the dress was beautiful but totally unsuitable for the occasion. I suppose she doesn’t care about that now though, and was putting two fingers up at everyone.

Oh heavens, yes, poor Cherie. She did have the most dreadful time of things.

I didn’t say I didn’t like the dress, more then sort of thing you’d wear for cocktails than 7.30 am news briefing. Actually thinking about it, I didn’t like it but my opinion is neither here nor there but I’m allowed to discuss it. Maybe it’s shallow and we don’t comment on all the mens identical suits and ties, because ? They are boring maybe

It's time the toxic media in our country stopped they will never get behind any PM in any party its shameful

Boris might be back, in my opinion. I think he wants another crack at the top job (like Churchill). But hopefully next time without a pandemic and Brexit will be steaming ahead (thanks to Truss & her Cabinet choices). He will be young enough.

What might happen is Truss does her best but gets beaten by Starmer at the next GE. Labour gets 5 years in power (having done a deal with the Lib Dems on the fielding of candidates in certain constituencies) and perhaps then, if the timing seems right and the Tories decide they want a popular, charismatic person at their helm to take them into the next GE (I’m talking 7 years away here) then Boris just might be their choice.

We will have to wait and see!

I think that Truss has the Daily Mail’s vociferous cheerleading to thank for her victory.
They have been promoting her like mad her for weeks.
I’ve never known anything like it before.
Johnson also had the backing of the Mail, the Telegraph and, arguably, The Times.

60 members of his own government resigned - 60 - do you think it's because they're Guardian readers?

I watch a lot of TV from a certain other leading European nation. There is no wokery, there is a strong solid identity of what they are doing and where they are going. Even their camera angles and arty shots are better than ours. Why? Because they work together and have a proud national identity. We just seem to splinter, splinter, splinter, regroup, scrutinise, re scrutinise. A sorry state of affairs.
