Past tense: WAS.

I can confirm that Johnson is the worst prime minister so far. Truss was bad, but didn't remain in the big chair long enough to show us what she's really capable of.

Johnson is the worst prime minister, with the added bonus of being one of the worst human beings as well.

When they announced on the 6 o'clock news that Johnson's resignations honours list had finally been I said to my wife that it probably meant the report of privileges committee was extremely damming, and it clearly was given that he has resigned to pre-empt being kicked out of parliament.

There are rumours that several other Johnson loyalists will resign over the weekend but I'm not sure what they hope to achieve. It could be an attempt to trigger a leadership election in which Braverman or another head banger seeks to replace Rishi or it could just be a sign that many Tory MPs realise that the gig is up and they are rushing to land jobs outside of parliament prior to a drumming at the next election.

Johnson is worst because what he does is 100% deliberate, 100% of the time, with a single goal - his own betterment. Truss was just an utter imbecile clattering about like a horse trying to work a go-kart.

[kreuzberger]

It is hardly gild-edged but, nonetheless, this presents Sunak with the opportunity to bin Johnson's honours list.

I doubt that he will do that though. With no mandate in any proper sense of the word, he is too witheringly weak and too feart of Johnson and his press.

While no-one knows what he's up to, anyone outside his fanboy circle knows that he'll do what's best for him. I wonder if this is a way of repositioning himself to the Trumpites; the people's man done down by the Establishment. He could see his allies in Parliament diminishing so maybe he's looking to build new support outside. It wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility for him to be seeing a potential vacancy in the MAGA leadership.

Is this the time to create distinct categories for "most damaging" and "most fractally wrong".

Truss punched a huge hole in the economy, but Johnson's watch normalised lying, cheating and stealing on an industrial scale.


With Truss, I'm developing the idea that Britannia Unchained was a prank gone wrong.
Four of the authors were in on the prank - in it for the money and publicity.
Truss was too dim to read the room.
But very few outside her thinktanks are promoting "Liz was misunderstood, if only she'd had an additional year".

By contrast the Boris fan club is alive and well across all kinds of media.
Oblivious to the man's corrupting influence.
"Boris did nothing wrong, they'd all got it in for him".

We have a winner. This was the guy that Bozo sent out the night before he resigned to announce tax cuts. Despite the carnage, he was the bounciest I've seen anyone since Mr Claypole in Rentaghost.

Well he’s right we’ll hear more from Boris, but it’s likely to be a non-stop stream of denial and bluster as the covid inquiry rips him a veritable smorgasbord of new arseholes.

And another by-election. This MP was tipped to get a peerage, same as Dorries was, but didn't. I'm sort of with British Alba.

What a lovely word............Hubris

[Tubby Isaacs]

Looking at the local elections from 2022, the old Selby district has become part of the new North Yorkshire council.

Helpfully, wiki list separate results for each district. The Tories led in Selby by only 4.9%. Their position has got worse since then, I think. No Lib Dems seem to have stood, unless I'm missing something. There are also 3 wards from Harrogate, of which one was won by the Greens by a big margin, one the Tories won over the Greens by about half the margin, and one which I can't trace because I think the name has changed.

I hope that the key word here will be nemesis...

I would think this is the last of the resignations, but who knows? A couple more might, with an eye on "posterity" (ie a job on GB News) might fancy going too.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Ha ha ha ha. Just shut your face.

[Bones McCoy]

Nigel Adams (Today's resignation) will be forgotten like third astronaut Michael Collins.


GB news will have to schedule 15 minute shows to accommodate all the resignees.

I can't help myself

[Crabcakes]

This. Every word of this whole thread. Any fool still defending Johnson should be made to listen to this, then point out where the falsehoods allegedly are.
