The response to the backstop question is so frustrating. Problem is most people in the country don't watch this and see what he is actually like. They'll see snippets of him and his new dog and vote for him.

That'd probably be a blessing after 5 more years of Priti Patel.
Comedy hour - that's why he's proroguing parliament - he has no idea what to do or to say - just talk bollox and hope no deal happens. If only he had a strong opponent.
Hoping Skinner as some choice words for him.
"Plus, your mums are fat. So there."
I don't think he's answered a single question.
Yeah it’s happening.
More pertinent is if this is actually the desired outcome as @sun_tzu has outlined, to force through the intended consequences.
Am I being dramatic or is this the most chaotic day in our country's politics in any of our lifetimes?
"I'm working on a deal". Thank goodness for that.
He's preparing a bid.
Indicative Votes day was fairly chaotic!
And it will seem to be the calmest and most sensible day of the week by the time parliament closes early next week
Build up to Iraq war was quite nuts too.
Well we no longer need to wonder what it'd be like if we had Trump at the dispatch box
BJ is absolutely terrible answering questions under pressure. I thought he’d be so much better.
He is definitely not suited to be a dictator.

I thought Johnson would be better at the dispatch box than this. He's on the back foot the whole time.
Johnson called the other parties a 'junta' earlier today.

When he does answer a question it is so vague.
It took three of them to cobble together that story and lift a quote from the Mirror
Is she an Inter fan?
Be interesting to see if the poll reflected the real feelings, considering the small number actually polled (15000 over 112 areas is barely a 100 people per area).
The issue with polls regarding the EU referendum, is that they have been consistently wrong.
Not surprising when the most Tory of Torys is the current Lib Dem leader. She makes the likes of Gove and Hunt look like Choir Boys.
I think referendum result day was more chaotic - Cameron going, pound plummeting, move against Corbyn etc. Though today it all feels more tangible.
Out of interest, if BJ loses election and leader of Conservatives position, who would their next leader be?!
Presumably many leading moderates would be deselected so not in parliament.

Yep pretty much.
Gove? Unless they opt for a younger Conservative to try and shift the image of the Conservative Party, like Cameron in 2005.
This is like Transfer deadline day... still holding out for one last dramatic Chuka move before it closes...
This is the only other day I feel is in the conversation. Today has plenty left before it ends.
He might send Theresa May and Philip Hammond to train with the reserves.
Can’t see that, as by then Tory BrExit plans would have been proven to be unpalatable to electorate, so why would they appoint such a prominent brexiter? Problem is most moderates would also be deselected to the party would be royally screwed!
They're being held hostage by Farage and UKIP so I don't see them going for a progressive anytime soon.
All we need is some old fart being interviewed out his car.
Corbyn has a bicycle.
