I think we need to stage an intervention at this point. It seems Whitehall is smashed all the time.

You surely didn’t think this was the behaviour of people who are normally sober?

Come on Max. Who would have a beer with Keith if it wasn’t work?

The scenario where Johnson survives is fairly simple. The Gray report, which Johnson’s allies are busy building up, is an anticlimax, refusing to say whether the prime minister should resign or opine on whether or not he broke the rules (Sue Gray’s remit is more to establish the facts than to pass judgment).

Sounds familiar…

It literally doesn’t. There’s one forum member, maybe a second at a push, spinning a narrative here.

If you care to address my post in full I’ve quoted it below. Otherwise I’ll leave you to provide the late night comedy.

“Hate” quite frequently in relation to Johnson. As if it’s impossible that, devoid of emotion, anyone has simply reached the conclusion that he’s exceeded his usefulness (if indeed, he ever had any at all).

He’s not a Conservative in any traditional sense. His unification of the party related to one issue, and one only. One that he seized the opportunity of after famously penning two articles such was his lack of conviction for either side of the argument.

A populist is only useful to the extent they remain popular. And the mask has well and truly slipped

They’ve apologised, but perhaps they are waiting for the findings of the Sue Grey Enquiry before they tell us what they are apologising for, as they don’t want to pre-judge?

You go around in circles, jfman, that was answered ages ago. Boris clarified that he wrote two articles to clarify in his mind which was the better of the two options, and that’s when he realised that Brexit would be best for Britain.

Boris’s popularity has taken a nosedive, but he will bounce back again. He always does.
