I think that Johnson's behaviour would be less predictive of anything in the future than any other senior politician's. He doesn't care about lying or breaching other social norms and he has no detectable legislative programme to complete.

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
Was on top of a london bus when i learned of the twin departures.
Stopped off at one of my favourite spoons to celebrate with a fine strong porter from oakham.
He can't survive this.
Wot's he gonna do, pull a more spectacular lie out of the hat?
People of all stripes now see him as the liar he is I think.
Character will out.
Hope someone wins some dosh on a bet.
The rest of us can just raise a glass.

The Executive Committee can change the rules very easily and quickly:Psamathe wrote: ↑5 Jul 2022, 7:49pm Something on the Radio the other day was that if 1922 guy gets letters from more than 50% of MPs they don't need wait 12 months and don't need another vote. That many letters is enough to do it on its own. I don't know that procedures/constitution so I'm just repeating what I heard the other day (and I can't remember who said it).

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
Fine by me.
I bet he's already redrafting his resignation speech where he tries to present himself as going with honour, all that guff about what a privilege it has been to lead this great nation etc.
He will i am sure go down as the most dishonest PM in modern history.
Bliar must be having a quiet chuckle tonight.

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
I think we need another big resignation from the Cabinet to seal it, and so far they are just expressing loyalty. That could be a ploy to gain advantage in an upcoming leadership battle because, traditionally, the one who wields the knife on the incumbent does badly in the following leadership race.

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
PMQs could be fun tomorrow (6 July) although it's always possible that Boris Johnson might decide to jet off somewhere like Ukraine.
Assuming he's there as scheduled, then the dynamics should give some insight eg who packs the benches surrounding him, always assuming they do. The Opposition benches will surely be jubilant and if last week's predictions are correct, there could be members crossing the floor.

Can't pretend to have read all the thread, but it is of course mistitled.
The problem has never been his brain.

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
Highlight's Johnson's grammar shortcomings. When he recently said he's be PM until 2030 he missed out the colon and meant "until 20:30"

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
I notice with some amusement that all the cabinet ministers sticking to their posts, like something unpleasant on the sole of yer shoe... are the ones with the nasty nicknames! Examples: Doughnut Dorries, The Minister for the Nineteenth Century, Ugli Patel, Dizzie Lizzie - and of best of all - Five Is Raab. hahahahaha I expect they'll all be out with the bathwater...

Health and chancellor major positions in any times of course.
More so in these extraordinary times.
