Nearly 100 Tory MP’s vote against Government- hopefully this is the end for Johnson.. Johnson has amazed me since becoming PM. I badly misjudged him....it's like he turned everything he was before upside down. If he had presented himself as this Tory version of 'woke' thing that he's actually been he would never have become leader.....election winner or not. What gets at me more is that he doesn't seem to know his own party....if you take the greasy pole careerists out of the vote, because they are that breed who will basically vote for anything the government proposes, this shows how unhappy the Tories are. If a credible figure emerges to challenge him then I seriously think he's in danger....which is incredible because he's a nailed on winner against Labour......a party that puts men in dresses into women's toilets.

The guy is a fraud - to his friends and family he goes by his real name of Alexander and Boris is his stage persona with the rumpled hair and “bumbling clown” act. I am embarrassed to say that I voted Conservative at the last GE..

I have one car and these ‘posh people’ that had a party (or several, at our expense no doubt) were making the rules and telling the rest of us to stay apart from our loved ones while hundreds of their citizens were dying alone in hospital. If you don’t have a problem with that then fair enough but some of the stuff you do have a problem with in comparison suggests you need the take a good hard look at exactly what is important. Some ‘patriot’ you are if you aren’t bothered about your fellow citizens.

Sure, I take the point....but you went OTT over something that's a reality of the class system....Not that I agreed with the rules anyway...though I do take the hypocrisy point (if it happened in any significant way). As for me being a 'patriot'....that's a bit complicated now. I come from an Army family....Many families will have the military culturally ingrained into them. It was a normal part of how I was raised. However, while I've long since passed the age, purely on principle I wouldn't fight for what this country has become....No. I wouldn't recommend that any young conservative male of any stripe joins the military today....because they are defending a system that doesn't like them and demonises them. It's all been politicised and that polarization has consequences. Edited by Stirlingsays (14 Dec 2021 10.35pm)

Least we forget. It’s an incredibly difficult time to be PM the moment.

I see Shaun Bailey, the ex CONservative mayor candidate was at the party and had to resign today from his post, maybe the party where the rule breakers were told to leave by the back door? Never liked the bloke anyway," I used to be homeless and now the CONS have let me be their mayoral candidate", this party story just runs and runs.

We can vote them out, not what is taken often isn't returned if its still useful and that typically relates to the people having less of a say not more. Edited by BlueJay (15 Dec 2021 2.48am)

Edited by Stirlingsays (14 Dec 2021 10.35pm) So you bang on endlessly about ‘elites’ (whoever they may be) but when they actually totally take this p*ss out of us ‘that’s a reality of the class system’? Why do we have to accept that? Didn’t we vote Brexit to ‘take back control’ so that we didn’t have to tolerate this ‘them and us’ behaviour?
