And another.

I’d been wondering why the Tories, as a party renowned for dispatching leaders perceived to have become a liability (see Thatcher, IDS) without compunction or hesitation, seem to dragging their feet in getting shot of Bodger.

I think it's a lack of a clear cut successor for the party to rally behind. For Thatcher they had Heseltine, for IDS there was Michael Howard. As you say, it's far from certain who would be Johnson's replacement.

This: He has so surrounded himself with incompetents that there's no clear successor.

I'm easily amused at this time of the evening.

I understand this a poncey foreign beer favoured by the metropolitan elite

I'm now hearing that, in the photo, Johnson is seen talking to Rishi Sunak, who yesterday was telling us all that he'd been to no parties. If this photo is as described, it means both the current PM and the favourite to succeed him, broke the law and lied about it.
I bet Liz Truss is praying the MET don't have the shots of her photocopying her tits at the Christmas do.

Is ‘wanker’ Photoshopped?

[Oboogie]

Nah, it's our great misfortune that the wanker's real.

Yes.

No, Boris was really there.

Steve Barclay is the new chief of staff. That's the second MP appointed to a jon not done by an MP before.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Another fucking solicitor.

And Guto Harri, last seem taking the knee of GB News, is coming in.

[Youngian]

I understand Harri is a loyal friend and possibly Bozo’s only one.
Steve Barclay doesn’t blip any radars for me and I’m one of his constituents. Must have been the 28th choice.

IIRC, Harri used to be a decent, engaging, and incisive journalist.

What happened? Was it the King's shilling that turned him in to a toilet?

He's already been around the Gbeebies U-bend.

Appearances are so very often deceptive. The leopard doesn't change his shorts...

[Malcolm Armsteen]

This is shopped.

From this original.

Part of me wonders if this is a cunning ploy to have extra leverage - you stay in your job until I say so, or your constituency gets shafted for funds.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I don't know if they're doing that- William Wragg rather shut that down.

I'm amazed somebody from the Northern Independence- Breakthrough Party would be circulating bollocks.
