Interview reported Boris actually said he'd "stuffed up"
the most ONLY honest comment he's made...
Believe he needs to get back to UK and unstuff things!

I’d be perfectly happy for him to stay away hopefully for ever, but that would mean inflicting him on someone else?

Bea65 Sat 25-Jun-22 12:27:10

"tanith" hmm should we worry about inflicting him on someone elsegrin but in all seriousness ..society is crumbling and I'm getting grumpier by the day!

I would happily contribute towards a one-way ticket anywhere.

There is too much for him to "unstuff" why bother to return to start?

MissAdventure Sat 25-Jun-22 13:21:04

It's a shame he himself doesn't get stuffed.

Is he still in Rwanda?
Do we know how long it will take for him to be processed before he's allowed into the UK?

Casdon Sat 25-Jun-22 13:25:34

This is him. Not even the Turkey is real.

MissAdventure Sat 25-Jun-22 13:26:31

Should he be flying, as he has just had a procedure done on his bugle?

DiamondLily Sat 25-Jun-22 13:35:27

Can't we do a deal with Rwanda?

They keep Johnson, his wife and most of the cabinet, and we keep the migrants?

It'll be cheaper and less aggravation...?

JaneJudge Sat 25-Jun-22 13:41:57

maybe they processing his paperwork in Rwanda to see if he can legitimately return to the uk

Never mind his bugle I think he's been stuffing his face - looks fatter and jowlier than ever.

Bea65 Sat 25-Jun-22 14:30:11

[Riverwalk] ooh thats harsh..wink

MissAdventure Sat 25-Jun-22 14:32:28

I thought his dose of covid had taught him the error of his ways regarding being overweight?

I guess that subsidised menu in the house of commons is just too tempting.

Johnson is not actually admitting that he has stuffed things up just that voters are tired of hearing about it.
Once again the government is telling us what our priorities are. We are being brainwashed and we should take note of how many times it is happening.
Anyone remember Obi - Wan Kenobi saying these are not the droids you are looking for.?
I see that he has brought support for Ukraine into his reason for staying. At last, he has latched onto something he can’t be criticised for. We will be hearing a lot about that.

Witzend Sat 25-Jun-22 16:52:58

More a case of Boris Is Stuffed, I should have thought.

Bea65 Sat 25-Jun-22 17:07:54

[Witzend] agree..

growstuff Sat 25-Jun-22 17:17:52

I'm confused.

I haven't seen any interview with Johnson, but the Guardian is reporting:

Johnson, asked by reporters if questions over his leadership were settled, said: “Yes.” He then added: “What’s driving people nuts is this endless churn of stuff about things that I’m meant to have stuffed up or whatever about my colleagues, their view of me, my character, the leadership, Tory blah blah.”

In other words, he's denying that he "stuffed up".

[growstuff] Sky interview ..he admitted he's "stuffed up"

silverlining48 Sat 25-Jun-22 18:06:29

He was interviewed this morning by Michal Hussein on the Today programme 8.10 slot which ran on longer than usually allowed. He harrumphed and huffed and answered every question with how well he has done which included Getting Brexit done, which of course is unfinished business.
He has not been interviewed by bbc in years, think he refuses.

It’s not what Boris thinks that matters, he can waffle all he wants, his own MPs that matter, because if a 24000 majority can be overturned nobody is safe, not even him!.
