It got worse:
Westminster Politics
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Don’t think he realises he was elected by small number of old men living in the south of England.
Just when you thought the UK couldn't become more of a laughing stock.
I am joking, but who was the last PM to be assassinated? What about a double-header?
Are they going to make us the 51st state?
I think it'll just be grim. He'll continue making an ass of himself and (some) people will continue liking him for reasons completely beyond my comprehension. The realisation hes a total clown will just never arrive to anyone who hasn't copped it yet.
I agree. He is our Trump and both are dangerous.
War with Iran anybody. Nothing like a war to get some people excited.
Some of the PM's we have had. That length of time is amazing.
Heard this one before, many times, if Labour were tabling it, presumably it wouldn't be at the time of the Tories' choosing.
The surprise is it's after the UK have left the EU .
My brain's just an endless unhinged rant about Cameron, May and our racist fecking media orgs (beeb very much included) for causing/enabling this.
I'll get to being scared and depressed about it soon enough but I'm just on disgust at the moment.

We know he's a clown and a racist. Now that he's PM he can't hide from his gaffes and repugnant views. He'll either surprise us all or be run out of office.
Anyone else think Boris Johnson will bring back May's deal for another vote?
Yep. With the tiniest changes, if the EU wants to humour us. Without even that, if they don't.
It's the only way to leave with an agreement. Hopefully people will stop calling it May's deal and call it the Withdrawal Agreement.
I think it could get passed this time, and Boris will call an election in November
Hopefully the start of the fall of the Tories.
Or more accurately again calling it "the financial settlement to commence trade negotiations".
It's very much May's deal though because it was negotiated within her rigidly fixed red lines. Another PM with a more flexible approach could have negotiated something much different.
I expect to see that stance quickly reversed when she's faced with a prospect of a Tory + TBP coalition for no deal Brexit in the event of a general election.
Damaging as the last coalition was for the Lib Dems and sceptical as they might be about entering a new one, they might actually deliver on their flagship policy this time round. Which will increase rather than decrease their popularity.
And assurance of citizens rights and that the UK won't break the GFA. It is only a stepping stone to the next phase after all
As per above I don't see what else could be different, the rest of it comes later after phase 1 is completed. May had no choice if the UK weren't to stay in the CU or SM, those are the red lines as they are Corbyn's and if you kept the SM and CU there's no point in leaving.
I've got New Model Army's "51st state" ringing in my ears.
I think it's all hilarious.
Doesn't matter who's in charge, country has been a joke for a long time.
Might aswell go down memorably and hilariously.
I don't think he will do too bad a job anyway, atleast he has the balls to change things up.

It's exactly that attitude that has got us into the position we are in.
In what possible way do you think etonian elistest right winger Boris Johnson might "change things up" for the better of this country?
You can't go with 'it's kind of funny how bad he is' and 'he's good actually'. You have to pick one.
I'm not convinced parliament will ever agree on anything, they haven't so far.
It seems that Swinson has shown her true colours - and shitty ones they are too
Demands a 2nd Referendum on BREXIT as ' Democracy ' and then categorically rules out a 2nd Referendum on Scottish Independence as ' Democracy '

Quickly replacing Ms Thornberry as my Two-faced-twat of the moment.

If anyone believes that those cnuts wouldn't get into bed with the Tories again.... Unicorns... for sale
I know we all knew it was going to happen but I am still rather baffled that some of you are managing to care about Jo Swinson on the eve of Boris becoming PM.
I'm not having a go. All credit for seeing the bigger picture. But I'm really not with you here.

No reason to just ignore the other 649 Charlatans, Liars, Dickheads, Loonies, Parasites, Fraudsters, etc, etc....
Yup they quit their principles some time ago and now just want to remain relevant on whatever horse rides
Lib Dems was once considered to the left of Labour .Amazing what sharing power can do to a party.
The main reason was under a more liberal Conservative party that believed in making something of yourself. Aspiration, hard work!
I always found the Labour Party, particularly under Corbyn, a party of the magic money tree.
When? When Brown was PM?
Yep, because the Tories have never done anything like magicking up a £1bn bribe to the DUP...
