I think he will go if senior party figures believe that he has become a liability in terms of votes. Right now all we have are some light weighs throwing their toys around.

It’s been discussed on here many times but there is a serious lack of depth to the party with regard to who would be a decent replacement. I also agree that the Boris buffoonery has been part of his charm and ultimately his popularity however, he is hoping that the same approach will see him escape from annoying the public and I think he is gravely mistaken.

The current crisis can be attributed to China. Don't forget it was they who unleashed Covid19 on the planet and inflated fuel prices through their consumption. Yet we still go on importing all their goods because we are a nation of profiteering middle men not innovators and manufacturers. Prices must keep rising to protect the profit margins for middle men.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Not saying this is better or worse than our approach. Though of course with energy companies making record profits and households paying record bills it does pose questions about the influence that corporations wield. Good luck seeing these prices return to normal even if the markets stabilise and oil prices drop.

Boris needs to go for simply an appalling sense of leadership. Attending those gatherings was imbecilic, even if you can make some weasel arguments about them just about being within the letter of the law. Contrast that with the Queen for the funeral of her husband who was offered a chance to have the rules bent but instead chose to stick to the ones that everybody had to abide by.

Absolute, 100%, 22 Caret leadership. Even ardent Republicans are using her by way of an example of how leadership should be done.

Johnson is an absolute fraud. And simply not fit for office.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

Johnson is there to win elections.

I don't really have an issue with your attitude towards him as he isn't really a Tory anyway....turned out to be some green liberal, who apart from Brexit, was worst than May....and wow, that takes some doing.

But it's usually not great to do what the left want....and the left want Johnson gone because all the incoming contenders have a charisma vacuum similar to their leader.....with two boring figureheads we are back to May/Corbyn and they will win back a lot of those red wall seats.

Also, the media are gung ho for proving their power over the political process so that also bothers me.....they hold information on figures and wait until it most benefits them.....I don't like rewarding that either.

So personally I'm a bit conflicted on it.....can't stand Johnson but I don't play my opponent's game.
