Is there no end to Johnson's high self regard and vanity?

Honesty?
Trustworthiness?
Reliability?

I would welcome Boris back as PM in a heartbeat. But then some of us are not leftie zombies, can think for ourselves and don't get brainwashed by the press as readily as those of you who were jibby jabbed and fell for the daily drip of anti-Boris stories. Boris at least tried to stand up against the enemies of this country.

By all means, be a right wing supporter. I'm not but I understand others don't share my belief systems. But if you prefer Boris over Rishi, it's clearly nothing to do with his ability as a politician, statemanship or ability and more to do with the colour of his skin.

I expect that grammygrammy would also welcome Trump back as president.

Or it has just occurred to me *GrammyGrammy^ do you just mean the media that does not agree with your views? tut, tut, arrogance.

What a good Christian life has lives and has lived- a great example for those who believe 'Christian' values are the only way to live a good life.

There will be no border down the Irish Sea. There will be no nuclear war. Just saying.

Both are completely self serving and lacking in ethics and decency...

Good morning Nadine,

Boris Johnson is not the most important thing that’s happening today, but from these posts anyone would think he is. I hope Rishi Sunak is able to deliver a satisfactory solution to the Northern Ireland problem. If he isn’t, we had an example of what could be in store for us all with the awful shooting of a Northern Irish policeman last week. I fervently hope he recovers, poor man.

Is anybody saying that Boris Johnson is the most important thing that’s happening today maddyone?
There’s natural concern that he deems himself capable of applying for one of the most influential roles in Europe though, and a degree of incredulity that some of the electorate are still taken in by him despite what’s happened during and since his stint as PM of this country.

He’s a Roman Catholic now isn’t he?
I believe that there is a vacancy at The Vatican

Good morning Nadine,

people are proper crabby on here today!

Jibby jabbed

Is that local to you?

He is a total cassock…

pascal Boris was baptised a catholic. A claim millions in this country can make, who like him had their catholic moment at birth and have ignored it ever since. However his wife is a catholic, and since the church is very forgiving, it will perform religious ceremonies for thise whose attachment to the church is tenuous. As a Prime Minister/Ex Prime Minister it has some clout and 10 Downig street may be in the cathedral parish.

But none of that, all show, makes him a practising catholic - and he isn't.

Anyone know the folk song 'The Vicar of Bray' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vicar_of_Bray_(song)

Monica it was me, not pascal who made the Johnson/ RC comment.
I was being somewhat tongue in cheek as I remember well the ensuing hoo ha around his marriage to Carrie.
I know that he isn’t a Catholic, just as well he does!
I doubt if he has one ounce of the spirit of the teachings of Jesus Christ

I think you are being unfair regarding him not being a proper Catholic as its clear he doesn't use contraception

Oh that truly cracked me up, thanks JJ

I have huge sympathy for anyone who has a strong faith, Christian or otherwise- but if they then turn out to be the biggest Johnson the lying, fornicating, devious, traitor Johnson, then ...

I'll rest my case.

FP I think that you may have missed my point.
I don’t think that Johnson has ever professed to ‘have a strong faith’.
I don’t think that even he is that hypocritical.
He’s a self serving pragmatist (at best)

Janejudge You err, I do not know a catholic, including myself who hasn't or doesn't use contraception.

Sorry my post was following GrammyGrammy's.

In the meantime

Johnson’s seemingly mild critique of Sunak’s approach serves as a signal to his supporters on the back benches not to support the deal, which leaves him uncertain of his numbers. Keir Starmer has pledged Labour’s support should any resultant deal come to the Commons chamber, but Sunak is understandably wary of trying to pass a vote with Labour support given his mutinous backbenchers.

Boris Johnson, then, is being outrageous even by his own standards – setting Rishi Sunak up to fail as he tries to fix a problem that Johnson created. Worse still, it is an issue of critical importance to maintaining peace in Northern Ireland and restoring its devolved power-sharing administration.

We know that Johnson is incapable of change, and we should not expect him to change at his advanced age – but some of those supporting him can still feel shame, and should do so at this, a new low for an ex-prime minister who long since left the moral gutter behind in his fall.'
