What's going on? In the space of 3 minutes it's 1.33 Sunak and Boris the Buffoon is out to 4.8. Did traders read my last comment? :lol:
Boris won’t be running as Harriet Harmon has been given damming evidence about Boris and telling pork pies to Parliament. He will be suspended and a by election called. Rumour is he will resign as an MP before then and do the US speech circuit full time. He already was paid £300,000 2 weeks ago for a 45 minute speech over there. So, he won’t go poor anytime soon.

You only need to watch one football match and you're already behind the news. :lol:

I'd love to see him become PM again and beat Truss's 44-day record but if it doesn't happen, at least he'll be thoroughly humiliated and his holiday's wrecked. :D

Johnson was forced to sit right at the back of the aircraft because nobody wanted to be near him. :D

If it's legit it demonstrates what a dick that guy is. He should had the final wors in large type, but he's so dim he started writing his placard without assessing how much space he had available.
Crank, although I agree with the sentiment. Or was he critiquing BBC NEWS?

Chris Mason on BBC.
"Within moments of those around Boris Johnson claiming they have hit the threshold of 100 MPs backing the former prime minister, scepticism from other Conservative MPs.

"Hogwash", "absolute garbage", "clearly nonsense" are among the phrases being used.

Why?

Well, the publicly-declared number of backers is much, much lower and — bluntly — his track record when it comes to truth is patchy."

I can imagine some MPs will support the buffoon if they know he'll get 100 nominations. But they don't want to be tarnished with being a buffoon supporter for nothing if he doesn't make the cut.

A BBC Political Editor should not be sending out tweets like that imo

Why? I't's precisely what has been reported on the Live BBC stream. Or have I misunderstood (quite likely)?
BJ's team briefing that BJ has his 100 lined up is then described as hogwash and that is then reported. What's the problem?

Because it's not credible based on public declarations, clearly someone in the Boris camp has been in his ear, if he said from a Boris insider I might give him a pass.

And now the market has maybe agreed that the claim is BS because a Rishi plunge has just occurred.

It looks like the buffoon's lies are coming home to roost. MPs are put off selecting a PM that will immediately have to start giving evidence to a committee investigating his own dishonesty. :D
