Well Nadine is behind him

Didn't hear a single word of contrition or regret about how he got to this point, just a snivelling woe is me pity party and he's still there, remind me, I've got some vague recollection of him lecturing us on leave meaning leave not so long ago

Who will be the next PM?
 
Who do you think it will be? And who would you like it to be? And, who would fill you full of dread ?

Liz Truss
Jeremy Hunt*

Liz Truss and most of the rest.


*I don't like him either but it's just damage limitation.


Sorry, missed the above.

Can we have the thread title updated to be more reflective of the changing subject ?

Thank you…..

I’m not joining in with the silly comments. When a sensible discussion commences, no doubt I will give my views. But until then, that’s all I’m commenting on just now. You’ll eventually get all that hate and vitriol out of your systems. One hopes.

TBH I think all anyone wants is for you to give some account of your absolute faith that Boris would weather this storm, in the light of the events of the past 36 hours. For some reason you felt confident to make ever more assertive and absolute predictions about his survival (someone quoted a selection of them earlier), even as everyone else - including some very long, long-term Conservative voters like me - could see the writing was on the wall and it was only a matter of when, not if.

It looks increasingly like you felt obliged to dig your heels in just because someone disagreed with you and not because your view was grounded in any attempt at analysis of the situation.

Boris resigns to spend less time with his children.

This is a fair analysis and pov from Chris, & OB can freely choose to answer at his own leisure but I don’t want to see goading type posts or “I told you so” from others.
