UK General Election 2024 (or 25)

[Derek27]

Johnson's still in the Caribbean! I don't think the lazy git could even be bothered to come over here unless he's secured the support of 100 bum-lickers!

He flew back to the UK today when truss resigned.

[Derek27]

Johnson's down to 3.85, but I've emptied and cleaned my 100-litre water butt, so I can use that as a vomit bucket if his price gets much shorter.

He's like a son you don't see for 10 years, until you snuff it, and then he flies back for the will!

I've heard he's not likely to throw his hat in the ring unless he's confident of 100 bum-lickers, otherwise it would be a humiliation.

I would have thought it would be humiliating enough just dashing back here and realising the doesn't have support, but I guess his price moved in as a result of his return.

He's still very popular especially with the party membership. If he gets the 100 nominations I imagine he would be neck and neck with Sunak. And Sunak only got 43% of votes against Truss. I'm all green now so will sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

I would expect a lot of Truss voters to realise they got it badly wrong, especially when Sunak predicted the fantasy economics and has more credibility that that bumbling idiot. But perhaps I'm overestimating the Tory members.

Someone should nominate the lettuce for PM - it has a cool head and good green credentials. I also noticed one reporter asking whether Truss getting the boot was sexism!!! If you are an idiot, you're an idiort reglardless of your sex - Johnson was/is an idiot: Corbyn was an idiot (with 1950's ideology thrown in) and Trump is an idiot - all males. The Tories might need a spell in opposition to sort themselves out - and really concentrate on attracting some talent.

It's the reporter that's the idiot for questioning it. Nobody played the race card when Kwarteng got the boot. It was plain for everyone to see why. More importantly, they were both given the job and the opportunity, which proves how diverse the government is, even I would give credit to the Tory party for that.

But they both screwed up and thankfully they're both gone, gone, gone.

[Derek27]

Truss had three priorities as PM; growth, growth and growth. And she failed on all three.

[Derek27]

I don't know how long I was watching Vanessa Baffoe's cleavage for but when I looked back at the market, Johnson had drifted out to 4.3/4.7.

[Derek27]

Beth Rigby: You're prepared to be unpopular aren't you?

Liz Truss: Yes, I am.

Is it any wonder she's out in 44 days?

[LeTiss]

These political markets could change dramatically with a Boris return.

There may be some haters of him here, but he remains the number 1 choice for Tory supporters.
I can also guarantee you, that he is the option Starmer would fear the most.

[Archery1969]

Boris has 140 nominations in the bag.

[Archangel]

The list of things that people agitating for Johnson's return clearly don't care about is incredible when you think about: corruption, law-breaking, cronyism, avoidable deaths, bullying, lying, rule-breaking, Russian spies, ethical breaches, trashing parliamentary standards etc


I think a Boris return could guarantee a Labour landslide at the next GE that the Tories might not recover from for a generation
