Boris at it again and the contest to replace the lying c***

[Tredman]

I'm not sure him going is a good thing in the long term, but seems like its closer:

Sunak not particularly defending him seems a clear candidacy pitch in waiting to me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well, yeah. Why hitch yourself to a lead balloon.

There is no good candidate to replace him, but he's 100% got to go ASAP. Anyone would be even 1% better, because he can't do anything properly. Terminally lazy, bereft of ideas, doesn't believe rules apply to him, gets his personal and work lives intractably mixed up, personal life is a catastrophe, a terrible speaker, permanently on the take, puts his personal finances and welfare above anything else, zero gravitas as he dresses like a tramp, got a David Brent "being funny and popular is more important than doing the job" attitude (like Brent, he's also neither funny nor popular), a habitual liar, a coward who runs away from problems, that cowardice means he promises one thing to one group and then does the opposite five minutes later, a complete lack of decency means he cannot discuss matters with other nations as he's permanently offensive and crass, surrounds himself with political weaklings and sycophants which means there's no block on his almost complete disastrous approach to any matter.

I'd argue he's even less fit to be Prime Minister than Dean Saunders is fit to be a football manager.

 

[Tredman]

My issue with him going is that anyone who replaces him is more likely to be re-elected in 2 years.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't think so.

Brexit hasn't even started to fully hit yet, we have an escalating cost of living crisis, a looming energy price crisis and a shit job market, with a housing market that is always on the edge of tipping over. Plus any other number of issues like NHS backlogs and poor funding, councils going bankrupt, etc etc etc.

You don't get another mandate for five years on top of 14 years with all that going on, not unless you have some kind of magician at the helm and they emphatically do not.

I think this would be more powerful if anyone knew what an #OODA was

From the Guardian...

Like many of Cummings’ tweets, it need translating. OODA is OODA loop, a US miliary concept highlighting the importance of the “observe, orient, decide, act” cycle.

 

[Keef]

Aah right, then you just drone strike the wrong person, civilians, schools and hospitals and say they were full of weapons, terrorists or something, gotcha.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Apparently Suegrey is going to interview Cummings (that'll be a nice afternoon for her, I'd leave it to one question namely "did you say this to the PM", get the answer and leave, fuck spending any more time with him than that)

Live scenes as PM calls urgent Cobra meeting:

[Del Woppio]

I've altered your post in my reply slightly.

As for the interview, I've just watched it back. The pre rehearsed bowing of the head and not looking up when asked about the night before Prince Philip's funeral is as cringeworthy as it gets. Maybe he was looking to the ground hoping that a hole would swallow him up.

It was a glimpse into the life of one of his wives when she finds out he's been cheating. Cunt's such a fucking charlatan

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

One particularly joyful thing from the Lords rejections last night. Those amendments were added to the Police Bill AFTER the Commons debate. So now the Lords have binned them off, they cannot be re-added to the bill and must form a new bill that receives Commons debate.

They are cunts. But they are thankfully also utterly incompetent cunts.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sounds like the required number of letters will be fired in after PMQs tomorrow. Should be good viewing in the Commons at lunchtime.

 

[Del Woppio]

No chance enough letters go in before the inquiry by soogrei

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’m seeing talk of Sir Graham Brady having a statement ready to go this morning.

 

[WolfMan]

Seems like it's a question of when not if now. I thought they'd keep him in post till around May and fuck him off then, pin a bit more of the coming covid/Brexit economic shit storm that's approaching on him

 

[Johnny75]

I thought they'd try and ride it out until after the Mid-term thrashing in May.

 

[WolfMan]

If the threshold of letters is reached, is it then a straight yes/no vote of all Conservative MP's with anything over 50% having no confidence triggering an automatic leadership contest?

 

[Tony Towner]

I thought they'd try and ride it out until after the Mid-term thrashing in May.

That's why it's coming from the back benches not the cabinet and the latter are pissed off with them. Nobody wants the gig yet

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I think Tory MPs have realised that continuing to back him now will do a lot of damage to them long term so they’d rather be seen to act sooner than later. Everyone without their head up their arse knows Johnson has lied to the Commons and now Sunak has put a little distance between himself and Johnson the writing is on the wall for him, so best to try and seize the initiative and get rid asap rather than see Johnson drag them down further.

 

[The Saturday Boy]

Will he survive a no-confidence vote by his own MPs? It is very possible. It’s one thing having enough support to trigger the vote, another to win it. You would assume every member of the cabinet would support him, even if it meant holding their noses…most, but not all, junior ministers will file in behind their bosses particularly when their minister has leadership ambitions of their own. I think that is why so many are “waiting for the report“. They know it is going to be critical and it doesn’t matter whether it holds Johnson wholly responsible, it won’t be difficult to spin it into a reason to vote against him. However, for many the ideal outcome is for Johnson to resign by his own volition…takes away any doubt.
