Renton

Tehn I'm going to break the habit of a lifetime and agree with Fish. Get a smart LED bulb and turn your landing into a disco.

It costs 0.1 PENCE to run a 60W LED bulb for an hour. Typical accountant, counting the pennies and ignoring the thousands of pounds your divorce will cost you.

Absolutely not. The only thing I'd like Johnson to swing on is a fucking noose. I absolutely detest the cunt and don't want him anywhere near the PM job.

This is true. But Johgnson will also continue to fuck things up also, there will be no clean sheet. Also curious to how the markets will react. Part of Johnson's appeal last time was that he spent a fortune on furlough etc. I think he will be much less appealing in atmosphere of extreme austerity.

But Sunak and Mordaunt both know the biggest risk is Johnson getting to 100, then it's curtains for them. My question is how they can reliably do the calculations in this short time frame. I think Johnson will get 100 like as they'd think he's the red wallers last hope. He isn't obviously. I also do think he might precipitate a GE pretty quickly. So many tories in the parliamentary hate him.

There is almost 0% of the tories winning an election now, seriously, relax about it. The only thing that is left is the size of their majority and in reality I think a small majority might be a good thing, might focus minds on the enemy more and require them to align more with minority progressive parties. But the main thing is, I personally just can't abide the thought of watching that cunt Johnson as PM for 2 years. I find Mordaunt and Sunak put me off me tea less.

The tories have shown it's not the size of th emajority that counts, its what you do with it. Which is why I'm so pissed off Labour won't take this golden opportunity to bring in constitutional reform and PR and stop this shit happening once and for all.

This was my point to Gloom. They have been playing endless "Bring Back Boris" vox pops almost to the exclusion of anything else, certainly to the 86% of the country who won't vote tory accroding to that latest poll. I'm trying to work out why they are doing this, but Gloom isn't playing ball any more.

Can you list these "moderates"? I can't think of any. Sunak and Hunt are technocrats, but they are far, far to the on the right on the overton window. But the key difference between these and Johnson is that they do not seek to destroy the institutions of the UK in the way he does. They are also relatively honest in their approach. I think you're almost falling into the "they're all the same" trap. That's bullshit, Johnson is our Trump. Labour will comfortably beat any of these candidates, I have 100% confidence in that, but Johnson will degrade and defile politics further given the chance, making it much harder for Labour to reverse the damage. I can't accept this is a good thing.

The last thing I want to see on my TV screen for the next 2 years is that gurning cunt spouting his bumbling lies over and over again. He'll rip the country apart and I'll lose my sanity.

Well aye. Tell you what though I am getting so sick of this tory psychodrama. It's like a shit drama that has now completely jumped the shark. Can we not just get politics back to being about boring men in grey suits running the country competently? Back to the days when politics wasn't really a thing? Putin can get fucked too.

I thought you just did it for free. You do support their editorial policy though. I was questioning why their vox pops were all tories today. They do this shit all the time.

There are virtually no tory moderates left, I can barely think of any, and the ERG will still have a massive influence on the party. Compare likely front benches. Then think what is happening economically etc. Johnson can do immense damage in 2 years, I sincerely hope he doesn't get the chance just to help your bedwetting tendencies.

I'm not convinced Sunak will tbh. But then he did just the last time. Honestly, if I had that type of money would I fuck do a single bit of work!

I'd be surprised if he doesn't keep his job as chancellor, assuming it's not Johnson or some other right wingnut that becomes PM.

They did that de facto last time anyway.

BBC news man, fucking hell. Going around the country exclusively interviewing tory voters and members. Endless vox pops of "Boris got Brexit done". Despite the fact the polls show the tories are barely in double figures. How man @Dr Gloom. This really isn't defendable, is it?

So it's probably Johnson then, but somebody MPs have already said they'd resign the whip if this happened and he's still got the standards enquiry thingy?

Also I think that Johnson being coronated would tip the balance for a VONC, and we'd have a GE pretty soon. So maybe not a bad thing.

On the radio there it was suggested the rules are being drawn up to disadvantage Johnson. Honestly, I really hope we don't end up with this cunt despite the potential hilarity. He's fucking dangerous.

Would Johnson get a majority of the parliamentary votes in that scenario? I thought when he resigned he had less than 50% support?

Honestly, if we get Johnson again I'll be fucking livid. But as Gemmill says, put it to the membership, and that's what we'll get.

It's all a joke to these cunts, as people are literally freezing and starving to death.

There can literally be nobody more divisive for the tory parliamentary party or the country than Johnson. Yet again these cunts are putting party before country. I don't think it will work though, I don't think anything will now. The economy is fucked for much longer than 2 years. If he does get coronated, I can only hope and pray that the end game is him to lose the election and lose his seat with it.
