62% says Boris Johnson was right to resign as an MP.

An ambiguous finding, many will think it’s right for him to resign because he’s a wrong’un not because they support his stand.

I wonder if our noble and fearless free press are happy with the part they played in Johnson's downfall? When Johnson told lies none of the usual suspects published 'chinny reckon' articles. When Johnson really overstepped the mark, not only was there deafening silence on the subject, but a plethora of 'look over there' articles were published instead. Who was it who led a not-very-bright, venal, grasping narcissist to believe he could do whatever he wanted without anything making it into the public domain?

For once, the fourth estate have done their job, if only by accident. Johnson was given plenty of rope. This is the end result.

I know the stupid cunt believes he should be untouchable anyway, but this belief was bolstered by those who are supposed to be watching and reporting.

Hopefully this The Sunday Times headline is true.

Looks like he's got a gig already, judging by this load of absolute bullshit. Then again, given the shitness of the writing, could be him or Nadine to be honest.

Boris Johnson cannot simply be cancelled or relegated into a long retirement. He is too big for that.

If we judge politicians by their market value post politics, Nick Clegg is Godzilla. Raking it in through newspaper columns is not a market rate but loss leaders from press barons banking on future influence.
Can only see Johnson’s after dinner speaking rate tumbling until he’s persuaded to dress up in a cock costume in an Ant and Dec gotcha.

Nobody thinks Theresa May is coming back, but she's a big earner, albeit she and her team put rather more work into speeches than Bozo does.

May will continue to attract a serious audience outside of edgy techfin, nutty US right wing think tanks and the lads at a sales conference.

I've seen some low bars in my time ..

I suppose the only thing you can say about May is, she is serious, she will cherry-pick and know her audience, whereas de Piffle thinks he can just rock up, umm and aahh, bit of a laff, say a few populist cliches, and thinks everyone loves him

Yeah, May is more your "Businessmen get prestige by inviting former Tory Prime Minister along for thoughts about something, with doubtless the chance for some lobbying because she still knows people". Lots of the same people like Bozo, but it's a different vibe.

This is quite the claim.

Though as some btl point out is was actually Chris Pincher who finished him.

I assumed that most thought bye bye wrong un.

But you're right it's ambiguous.

Ooh, difficult rules. Like not lying in Parliament all the time.

It easily transforms into a jello press headline

Majority believe Boris was right!

Have a read of this, from Sir Jacob. Warning: Have your sick bag close to hand.

SIR JACOB REES-MOGG: Boris is in pole position to return… as leader of the Conservatives

This is very good, cleverly merging lots of popular talking points.

Rules, like taxes, are for little people.

Johnson must be the worse advertisement for exercise ever. He always seems to be jogging or cycling. Imagine someone has just taken up jogging to lose weight and they're finding it hard, then they look at the state of him after (seemingly) years of regular exercise. The motivation would evaporate.
