Who next for Tory Leader/PM?

Having watched the interview where Johnson discusses making model buses out of wine boxes it is possible he:

 

1. Has no inner voice or filter and his just spewing forth a stream of consciousness

2. He’s high as a kite on illicit drugs

or powerful  prescription medication

 

He can’t run our country

Boris did a good job when he was Mayor of London.

 

It's not uncommon for a Prime Minister to have a hobby. Sir Winston Churchill liked painting, Sir Edward Heath enjoyed sailing and Sir John Major played cricket.  I think the do or die attitude towards implementing the democratic EU referendum result went down well with the Tory members.

If memory serves, Boris, as foreign secretary, signed off the back stop.

 

Part of me wants him to get it. That same part of me wants him to bring farage into negotiations, then watch as they both fail so spectacularly that their brand of divisive, populist is banished for decades.

 

If hunt gets it - I think he will - it's just more soulless, useless grey ineptitude and 3 more years of going nowhere.

100% agree

Just seen Steve Baker on Twitter saying he's seriously considering it. I think he'd get my vote if he makes the last two.

You a Tory party member then ?

Boris is living proof that irrespective of how much grey matter you have an Eton education, lots of money and the right connections can get you anywhere, as long as there are lots of forelock tuggers willing to be impressed I suppose.

 

Reminds of an episode of Fawlty Towers where super snob Basil is impressed by a fake conman Lord

Looking at all the crap this couple are getting, it was a very smart move for them to record it and lodge a copy of the recording with a trusted newspaper.

Clutching at straws now aren't you?

 

Concern for a couple arguing late at night:

Ring the police - good idea.

Record the argument - very good idea in case it turns very nasty or the police want proof.

 

Police visit, all is OK, neighbours are reassured - yet they go running to the Guardian - not cool.

 

And it transpires they're left supporting remainers who feel proud to have given Boris the finger.    I love how they've been bitten by the very media they were hoping would bring down Boris.

How embarrassing. I’ll be kinder and gentler  to you in future.

These aren’t multiple occupancy houses with stud partition walls stuck up to house benefit claimants. They are large Victorian houses where the whole of each floor is a self contained flat. The only conversion is to put an internal front door on each landing to separate each dwelling.

 

As I said earlier, they are incredibly soundproof and unless you have a window open, you can’t hear anyone else’s business and they can’t hear yours.

Wrong.  I lived in a converted Victorian house.  Very solid walls so you can hear little from adjoining rooms.

 

But you can hear noise on the landings, the stairwells and flats above and below.

I believe one of the comments made during the argument was about red wine spilled on a sofa so very unlikely that they were on a landing or a stairwell.

 

I have previously said that he looks as though he is having some kind of a breakdown but the suggestion that he could be on some form of medication has it’s merit. There was a suggestion on Newsnight last night that the real reason that Johnson is refusing to say when  the ‘happy couple’ photo was taken was not because it wasn’t taken after the row, but actually dates from a time when he was was still supposed to be happily married to his wife. 😵

What a cynical thing to say

Maybe, but not only is Johnson known for trading in wives for younger models but is also known for having long term affairs while still married and then lying about it.

 

Let’s not forget that he was sacked as a junior minister in 2004 for lying about his four year affair with Petronella Wyatt. This is 2019 and people can see whoever they like, but it is the cover ups and lying that make people uneasy. This leadership election is predicated on one single issue. Who do you believe when they say we are leaving the EU in October, so the issue of trust is an important one.

Hope you're not suggesting Boris is a wrong'un, ? A cad even ? Think of his positive parts ?
