He's fummin'

Johnson will feel entitled to be the candidate in the first safe Tory seat by-election. By then he’ll be a yesterday man told to do one, hopefully.

Lord Dave is probably putting the feelers out touting his egg cup sized gravitas for an above party politics role. Fuck off back to your shed.

Still not seeing how he could come back, with his lifetime ban from parliament.

I don't think he has been banned for life. He body-swerved his punishment first time around by quitting rather than face a recall petition, but this is a new parliament. He could theoretically return via a by election.

He also has a vested interest in undermining Starmer as soon as possible, because the possibility that he wouldn’t be in trouble from even the mildest Covid corruption inquiry is absolutely zero.

He had his parliamentary pass withdrawn. If he were elected at a by-election, I am unsure what action this Parliament could take. It would be a big call to bar an elected member from taking their seat.

Just look at the state of this.



The fucking state...

He dresses like shit while Carrie’s come as a decorative toilet roll holder.

I recall his legendary bouts against Giant Haystacks.

Looks like he's been sleeping in them.

This came up in my Facebook Memories:

There's no way he'd be happy as a backbench MP and no leader would give him the chance of building a powerbase.

I've had one eye on the ongoing "Next Tory Leader" Psychodrama.

I've not seen a single comment suggesting "Bring back Boris".
Not even from the "Bring back Boris" pre-election types.

It's all about Braverman, Badenoch, Jenrick, Tugendhat.

Some statements of the fucking obvious about the Olympics (did you know, he was mayor of an Olympic host city once?) followed by some claim that Labour is anti-sport, which seems to mean getting private schools to pay some fucking tax.

Labour's anti-sport because non-competitive sports days or something. Which wasn't the same thing as banning competitive sport, but anyway.

Ian Botham used to bang on about this stuff, and said it was bad because there was a competitive world out there. But why sport? Why not competitive chess too? Develop mental strength. Ian might have performed better against the West Indies with that.

Johnson lecturing on laziness just takes the fucking cake.

He’s not still trying to bask in the reflection of 2012 Olympics is he?
Which he played no part in securing and probably didn’t even support (Red Ken spending your taxes on a vanity project).

The counter-argument was that academic subjects were tested and examined. They didn't take place in front of the whole school, though.

Yeah, and by the 80s teachers weren't supposed to laugh at you if you couldn't do quadratic equations.

If the last Labour Government was anti competitive sport why did they make money available to schools for inter school competitions which the 2010 Conservative led government then abolished? My wife is Head if PE at a state secondary school and used that money. Despite the last government’s best efforts there is still competitive school sport and it certainly was not banned by Labour. The usual myth peddling going on.
