Yes. Do bears shit in their own porridge?

According to Sky News (who had a journalist on the 'plane), Johnson was booed on the flight home.

For what it’s worth, here is my prediction : At 2pm on Monday, it will be announced that only Rishi Sunak has verifiably met the 100 nominations threshold, and he will therefore be declared the new leader of the Conservative Party, and our new PM. The Tories will have dodged the massive bullet of allowing the swivel-eyed nutjobs that gave us Truss to vote for a Boris Johnson comeback. Which is, from a Labour point of view, slightly disappointing, but hey-ho. I think we are past the “tipping point” now, whereby the majority of the electorate has already firmly resolved to get shot of this lousy government- whenever the elecion comes.

So, watch out for PM Sunak on Monday.

I did see a picture of Johnson being driven away from the airport wearing a suit. Who the feck goes on a holiday to the Caribbean wearing a suit? Was he auditioning for a job in the next serious of 'Death in Paradise'?

What are these Telegraph fuckwits smoking today? What reason would Sunak have to do a deal with Johnson? Make his life a misery would be a sensible move.

I suppose Sunak could make him Foreign Secretary or Britain's ambassador to the US and tell him to feck off for the next two years. Making in an ambassador would be a good way of ensuring he dodges the privileges committee.

Hmm, I thought I was pretty conniving, but even I never considered that angle.

Johnson’s unfit for any public office let alone the diplomatic service. Offering something so beneath him or let him fester on the backbenches (on holiday).

He's the last person you'd want as an ambassador. Undiplomatic, can't follow orders, prone to making shit up on the hoof. Cuddly funtime Boris is pretty much a solely British thing. Watch a clip of his "science" speech* at the UN and you'll see what the rest of the world thinks.

Now there's a vacancy thanks to prince Andrew, make him one of those ioke trade envoys and stick him on a flying Sunshine coach and sod him off to Saudi to flog guns (and floggers).

*The one with Prometheus and the Terminator. Fuck, did I just write that?

Would pay Mourdant to throw Johnson a line* if he stands down in favour of Le Penny as the stop the brown bloke unity candidate.

* It would be acceptable in Johnson’s case for Mourdant to renege on the deal and give Bozo nothing.

I read it as “we’re desperate to get de Pifflecunt back into government, but need to avoid the embarrassment of him not getting enough votes”

Sunak and Johnson aren’t being urged to strike a deal. Sunak is being pleaded with to throw Johnson a bone. Johnson has just come up horribly short after his and his fanclub’s bluster, and is now trying to bullshit his way into a face- and ego-saving position because he’s not going to make it to 100. And he’s not going to make 100 because he’s an awful shit.

Meanwhile, his fanclub have likely promised to wreak havoc unless he's given something substantial, preferably with a grace and favour home attached. Back to the foreign office for him?

How transparent was the "Yes we have a hundred" gambit.
They might as well have painted it on the side of a bus.

Pro tip:- Don't deliver this message through proven liars on behalf of a proven liar.

I’m hoping he gets to exactly 99, because his face when the deadline passes would be *chef’s kiss*

He has had more hundreds than Michael Van Gerwin.

Obviously, I don’t support Sunak as a politician. But he doesn’t deserve this horse shit.

The Tory party has a serious issue that I suspect is about to explode, and it’s not something Johnson or Truss ever had to deal with.

Yep.

Hunt gets it as well because of his wife. Shapps got it for no reason except he replaced Braverman.

GB News talking heads are doing this "globalist" shit.

The future Conservative party looks like:

Meanwhile, at ConservativeHome a tsunami of toys are jettisoned from the ERG / UKIP / Reform / BNP prams.


A hilarious subtext is a ruck between former pupils of Winchester (Whkehamists for some bizarre reason) and Eton in the comments.
