They're going to be struggling for willing and able candidates to defend him soon.
'The Brains' Truss and Car Crash Dorries only make things worse, Mogg is pretty much banned from making serious media appearances whilst most of the other serious ones aren't going anywhere near putting their necks out to defend him.

It won't matter who they put out as whoever it is won't get a word in when that ignorant sod Kay Burley at sky news consistently interrupts and talks over the interviewee.

A bit of honesty and integrity will make a pleasant change though.

Hope he stays in the job. It's incredibly entertaining and if his career up to now is any guide we can expect more of the same. He's just taking the whole lot down with him now.

Johnson's career progression is, sacked, promoted, sacked., promoted etc. If they sack him as PM then I can only see Secretary General of the UN as a next step. Although I think he would be far more suited to President of FIFA or head of the IOC.

Your right but you won't get that from her, she's too big a mate of that Andy Burnham

If he did there would be far more honesty and integrity in both sports.

Raab again, apparently. I look forward to watching his faux-surprise-indignation-switch-briefly-to-placatory-look-like-a-taxidermied-frog act later on, when I have some time.

Yes so do I, the man is clearly talented, I also like the way he comes across as the essence of a gentleman when showing patience in abundance when Kay Burley shows her ignorance in trying to off put him when he veers from her script.

He has showed remarkable patience, on that we can agree. To and beyond the point of masochism, imo. In the defence of a man who demoted him not so long ago. There’s being humble and then there’s being active in your own humiliation.

Hypothetically would it be better to have no integrity or no pride, if you could only have one or the other? I think the former would make you a worse person but the latter would be an even less tolerable existence.

I love the parallel world the hard right live in. Burley is as right wing as they come (if it wasn't already obvious, you can tell because she's also frankly a bit dim)

And good with the illegal parties - kept her job though

The last time I checked she did not make the rules and admitted her guilt unlike the man with the granddad tie on today. I wonder why the world laughs at us when that is the best we can turn out is that.

We are officially the laughing stock of the world thanks to that stuttering oaf

Sending him off to the Ukraine to "help" with diplomacy is akin to giving an arsonist a box of matches and some petrol.
It looked more like trying to get a different picture on the front pages of the papers.

Vodka run. It's s**t cheap out there.

How is somebody trying to help diplomatically akin to giving an arsonist a box of matches and some petrol? your choice of a euphemism is once again well off the mark.

Come on Chis, I'm sure that you can work out where we're at here.
Boris off on his diplomatic mission isn't a good idea, just as giving matches and petrol to an arsonist isn't wise wither, unless you need something burning down.

Basically, Bojo is not the man for a diplomatic crisis or, any crisis.

To simplify it sending de Pfeffel on a diplomatic mission dangerous to others and giving an arsonist matches and petrol also dangerous to others. This is because in both cases the individuals are flawed and incapable of controlling their actions.

We are reaching the stage where the last person out of number 10 to turn out the lights and yes I know what I am referencing.

You are not a very competent part time shrink!!!!

Arson is a deliberate criminal act by someone who is capable of controlling their actions.
Pyromania on the other hand..........

That is your view but arsonists by definition cannot control their actions. To set fire to a property for example can be done for many reasons, insurance fraud, anti social behaviour but these are usually one off where an arsonist lights a fire for their own gratification and tend to be repeat offenders. I hope I haven’t shrunk your ego, at least you avoided opening with a double negative this time.

I see we've reached the "the dictionary definition of a psychopath doesn't quite match the Prime Minister's actions" stage of the Tory Defence League's strategy.
