"It’s on the bbc news website. I don’t think he answered anything. He looked like a five year/ old boy being humiliated in front of the whole family. " Is arrogance on the curriculum at Eton or is it bred into them? | |||

"Daily Express reporting that ed Miliband 'lost it'" I love it when this country is so obsessed with ww2 when we have rags whose propaganda wouldn’t be out of place in 1940 in Germany. | |||

"Daily Express reporting that ed Miliband 'lost it'" Whilst the Express has toned down its racist anti immigration anti Muslim ways it’s still a right wing rag for pensioners who actually believe the drivel it spouts! Let’s hope it’s lack of investment and crap online presence sees its demise sooner rather than later. The paper is only suitable for lining a budgerigar cage. | |||

"Did anyone see Boris get humiliated in parliament by Ed Miliband, he looked lost, broken and completely clueless. Even for him, that was embarrassing " Yep. He got properly shown up; and yet, to what end? The vote to have the right to break international law passed. That's the real tragedy here; not that our PM is a lying fuckwit, who cares nothing for integrity - it's that so many back him up. Like him, they are devoid of conscience, devoid of vision and beyond the reach of genuine consequence. One more thing; if 'No Deal' is going to allow us to "prosper mightily" - then why should anyone believe that the Government is trying to get a deal? | |||

Yes, it will have to but they can't override it; the HoC is sovereign. I suppose it's possible (if unlikely) the Lords will try and force force Boris to use the Parliament Act - which would be embarrassing for him too. Except he doesn't feel embarrassment, of course. | |||

All to no avail though, sadly. 
No-deal here we come. Crispin Odey must be rubbing his hands in glee.

Not so sure about Johnson. Even if, as you say, no rebellion forces him out. I think he just can't be bothered with the actual job of being PM. I really wouldn't be surprised if he resigns at the 1st opportunity. He'd also get loads of money just writing columns + books and being paid for speeches. Easy money for him. | |||

Yes, and passed up, this is where it ger stuck.. All laws passed into UK Law have to be accented by the un-elected group of cronies.. sometimes not such a bad thing. I gather they were trying to change this after numerous embarassing rejections prior to Brexit.. | |||

No he won’t, he will resign at some point in 2021, probably after the UK get a no deal. He doesn’t get paid enough to be the PM, he will be eager to cash in and make millions "To add to the millions he'll make from his disaster capitalist mates for delivering a no-deal Brexit, and the millions they've already stashed away from the fake contracts for PPE that they set up for themselves. No-one can predict with 100% certainty what will happen in the next few years. Not even Mystic Meg, and certainly not me, but if things turn bad after Brexit, then Labour will likely take a lead in the polls. Once that happens, Tory MPs will begin to get twitchy and Johnson will be on borrowed time. If Boris fails to turn that Labour lead around quickly then he will be finished as leader. The Tories do not tolerate poor leadership for long, whoever it is and a large majority won't protect him if he can't keep them loyal. Thatcher had a large majority too, but Michael Heseltine still challenged her and she was out soon after. Don't forget that changing the leader can't be done quickly, and the Tories will want a new one in place long before the election in 2024. Things could begin to look bad for Johnson before the end of 2021 unless a miracle happens, because Boris is actually a useless PM. Anyway the above is all supposition and depends upon Johnson wishing to stay on. Personally, I'm still convinced he'll resign before Easter 2021. | |||

Popularity is subjective, one day your loved the next day your hated and up and down it goes. The real poll is when an election happens because people will tell you what they actually think. Which happened in December.
Boris will be here for the long run, nobody has the power to stop him and frankly they never will with that majority.
Nobody expected Covid to happen, but it does prove one thing, the electorate are short sighted and have very short memories. So when 2024 happens the TP will win again with Boris.
No he won’t, he will resign at some point in 2021, probably after the UK get a no deal. He doesn’t get paid enough to be the PM, he will be eager to cash in and make millions
To add to the millions he'll make from his disaster capitalist mates for delivering a no-deal Brexit, and the millions they've already stashed away from the fake contracts for PPE that they set up for themselves.
No-one can predict with 100% certainty what will happen in the next few years. Not even Mystic Meg, and certainly not me, but if things turn bad after Brexit, then Labour will likely take a lead in the polls. Once that happens, Tory MPs will begin to get twitchy and Johnson will be on borrowed time.
If Boris fails to turn that Labour lead around quickly then he will be finished as leader. The Tories do not tolerate poor leadership for long, whoever it is and a large majority won't protect him if he can't keep them loyal. Thatcher had a large majority too, but Michael Heseltine still challenged her and she was out soon after.
Don't forget that changing the leader can't be done quickly, and the Tories will want a new one in place long before the election in 2024. Things could begin to look bad for Johnson before the end of 2021 unless a miracle happens, because Boris is actually a useless PM.
Anyway the above is all supposition and depends upon Johnson wishing to stay on. Personally, I'm still convinced he'll resign before Easter 2021."Given what Joe Biden's just had to say, it'll be interesting to see how Boris reacts. If Joe actually gets the Presidency- by no means certain - that's going to be very inconvenient for the Tories. | |||

"Did anyone see Boris get humiliated in parliament by Ed Miliband, he looked lost, broken and completely clueless.

Johnson is another matter. His popularity has sunk during this pandemic and is low even among party members. He may have won them the last election, but Thatcher won three and that didn't save her. The Tories are ruthless with their underperforming leaders. Then there's Johnson himself. Getting to be Prime Minister was his ambition, which he has now achieved, and his place in political history is assured. But he simply hasn't got the temperament or work ethic for the job, and he knows it. He can now make millions on the after dinner circuit, without any of the stress and late nights/early mornings that come with the PMs job. I also suspect that he won't want to be around long enough to take the blame if Brexit does go tits up, and rumours of his planned resignation are already circulating.

Virtually no-one supports Johnson now. His approval rating is laughably low. It slumped after the Cummings affair and has been falling ever since. Even the Daily Mail were calling him out a few weeks ago. There's no need to take my word for it either. Look up his approval rating if you wish.

"polls go up, polls go down, most voters are very forgiving, and will overlook most things which many on the opposite side would be screaming about. Even going so far to defend the actions their chosen party. Just because someone is doing badly now, doesnt necessarily mean it will reflect in a GE where the future direction of the country is on the table. That is the only poll what counts, who runs this country, and clearly Boris and his party are the choice of millions of voters. How many times have they said its going to happen and it never occurs, so I don’t pay heed to what intrim poll say anymore, they deal with what if’s, not actual results of who will actually. | |||

How many times have they said its going to happen and it never occurs, so I don’t pay heed to what intrim poll say anymore, they deal with what if’s, not actual results of who will actually.
Voters weren't very forgiving when Gordon brown was captured referring to a bigoted old woman as a bigot..
Boris Johnson trashes the country , lies etc but his voters stick with him...
English voters have a soft spot for a posh accent."we prefer local accents in the north lol | |||

"Did anyone see Boris get humiliated in parliament by Ed Miliband, he looked lost, broken and completely clueless. Even for him, that was embarrassing 80 Majority, the PM can perform badly every time when at the dispatch box for the next several years it doesn’t matter the TP can pretty much run a bad government, and nobody can say anything. Probably. If Johnson pisses off enough of his own party, though, he's done. Normally I would agree with that viewpoint. Things are different this time around, with such a majority it has provided a buffer from Tory rebellions and plots to oust him. We need to face the harsh reality he’s here for the long run and again I emphasise this point there is nothing anyone can do about it The tories may be here for a while, they may even win the next election, but a lot depends upon how they handle the fallout from the upcoming no-deal Brexit and whether Labour see any resurgence under Keir Starmer. Johnson is another matter. His popularity has sunk during this pandemic and is low even among party members. He may have won them the last election, but Thatcher won three and that didn't save her. The Tories are ruthless with their underperforming leaders. Then there's Johnson himself. Getting to be Prime Minister was his ambition, which he has now achieved, and his place in political history is assured. But he simply hasn't got the temperament or work ethic for the job, and he knows it. He can now make millions on the after dinner circuit, without any of the stress and late nights/early mornings that come with the PMs job. I also suspect that he won't want to be around long enough to take the blame if Brexit does go tits up, and rumours of his planned resignation are already circulating. He's served his purpose now, won the election and got Brexit done and I will be very surprised if he's still in the job this time next year. Spot on,
Rumours can be wrong, after all it appears that there is a greater centralisation of power in number 10 which is indicating there will be no resignation.
Popularity is subjective, one day your loved the next day your hated and up and down it goes. The real poll is when an election happens because people will tell you what they actually think. Which happened in December.
Boris will be here for the long run, nobody has the power to stop him and frankly they never will with that majority.
Nobody expected Covid to happen, but it does prove one thing, the electorate are short sighted and have very short memories. So when 2024 happens the TP will win again with Boris.
No he won’t, he will resign at some point in 2021, probably after the UK get a no deal. He doesn’t get paid enough to be the PM, he will be eager to cash in and make millions
To add to the millions he'll make from his disaster capitalist mates for delivering a no-deal Brexit, and the millions they've already stashed away from the fake contracts for PPE that they set up for themselves.
No-one can predict with 100% certainty what will happen in the next few years. Not even Mystic Meg, and certainly not me, but if things turn bad after Brexit, then Labour will likely take a lead in the polls. Once that happens, Tory MPs will begin to get twitchy and Johnson will be on borrowed time.
If Boris fails to turn that Labour lead around quickly then he will be finished as leader. The Tories do not tolerate poor leadership for long, whoever it is and a large majority won't protect him if he can't keep them loyal. Thatcher had a large majority too, but Michael Heseltine still challenged her and she was out soon after.
Don't forget that changing the leader can't be done quickly, and the Tories will want a new one in place long before the election in 2024. Things could begin to look bad for Johnson before the end of 2021 unless a miracle happens, because Boris is actually a useless PM.
Anyway the above is all supposition and depends upon Johnson wishing to stay on. Personally, I'm still convinced he'll resign before Easter 2021.
Given what Joe Biden's just had to say, it'll be interesting to see how Boris reacts.
If Joe actually gets the Presidency- by no means certain - that's going to be very inconvenient for the Tories.
I am unconvinced at the moment, there are too many people who still support the TP, even more support boris,even after the things that have happened. It is harder to convince anyone to shift their position when it comes to who they vote for.
That is how the TP have been successful in holding on to power for so long, far longer than they deserve. People believe the stories about their opponents and run to keep them power.
Virtually no-one supports Johnson now. His approval rating is laughably low. It slumped after the Cummings affair and has been falling ever since. Even the Daily Mail were calling him out a few weeks ago. There's no need to take my word for it either. Look up his approval rating if you wish.
polls go up, polls go down, most voters are very forgiving, and will overlook most things which many on the opposite side would be screaming about. Even going so far to defend the actions their chosen party.

Polls however are influenced by events, and for Johnson's approval rating to go up he needs some good news, and unfortunately for him, there isn't much good news appearing on the horizon. The opposite in fact, and the back bench Tories are already getting restless. We'll find out soon enough whether Johnson survives the fallout from Covid and Brexit, if he even wishes to, but unless anything dramatic happens in his favour, I'm sticking with my prediction that he'll be gone by this time next year. As for the Tory party winning the next election? Impossible for anyone to predict at the moment, but whether they do or don't, I doubt if Boris Johnson will still be PM in 2024. | |||

I personally think they would still vote for him if it meant keeping labour out. | |||

Boris Johnson trashes the country , lies etc but his voters stick with him..."Yeah that’s the “outrage about anything labour do” method, if it’s labour then it’s an outrage, if it’s the TP then it’s ok, because we all know they are like that already. It’s been very effective for the past several years. Bedroom tax? It’s ok because it’s the TP, if the LP were to do that it would be moral outrage “making old and sick people pay for an extra room” there would have been a campaign by the DM to stop it. I still stick by view this all will blow over For Boris this year will disappear and his base with continue to support him just like the rest of the north which handed him the win in December. | |||
