the boris project: slouching blond beast who can or shrunken cowardly lump who was never going to

He's not Jesus but he has the same initials

thing about lol Boris legernd voters is that they're... a bit dim, and pretty impervious to acual political developments, so I think a lot of that support will still be there through sheer inertia.

"he's just like a geography teacher" was a colossal snobbery as well as a tell, really -- so important to hate and despise and sneer at teachers in the coming settlement, let me just write that down

the geography teacher has always been a slightly confused archetype

Idk I’m definitely sure he’s been tarnished by the last few years.

His VSO posting: teaching geography in Jamaica.

Specifically geography as well, which conveys its own frumpiness even if it isn't especially accurate.

The Parliamentary arithmetic will be different under a new leader, one way another. Shifts in allegiance, antipathy, degree of trust, desperation to avoid an early general election. I've no idea how the fallout will go down, but the arithmetic will be different because some of the actors are going to act differently.

Slightly less well thought of than Boris, it appears

And May.

OTHER THINGS LIKED BY BORIS JOHNSON FANS: Shandy Bass

"Other things liked by Boris Johnson fans" reads like a list of references to be incorporated in the next Alan Partridge series.

Arithmetic only different by single figures imo unless an option which gets cross bench support emerges. Three years on nobody has changed opinion substantially and certainly not to the point where they're going to shift to hard leave from soft remain.

Biggest chance of changing the arithmetic is Rory who is at least honest about flogging the WA again. The centre ground is the only place to get the numbers because it's the only one where you can sell the idea of influence over phase 2 - either to achieve a least worst outcome to bring in soft remain or a free trade model which might get some outliers on leave.

Checkmate, tankies.

boris is going to hastily put a few biro marks on TM's WA, and somehow enough head-bangers will buy it in parliament. Then starts a new chapter of his legend and everything is almost reset to 2010 only this time flea olympics!

Good that Ian Blackford went in on Johnson directly calling him racist in the Commons and refusing to retract when Bercow advised him to.

IB is himself a nasty piece of work of course

His muslamic grandfather would be amazed to see him rise to being called a racist in the House of Commons

a few years ago I was reading about how Turks didn't even get surnames until the Ataturk era when they could choose their own and lots of people choose daft ones like Testicle and Stupid for the laugh. Unfortunately Boris senior would have been already moved to the UK by then, and I think a Boris Tasak (testicle) might have anglicised his name.

His real name's not far off though!

I like how 120 and counting Tory MPs are cool with the whole Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe think and the racism, why would they be impediments to leading the government?

I can remember FS boris with some hero talk about how her situation would be sorted soon and any additional misunderstandings with Iran would be jolly well sorted out next week .. erm about 2 years ago.

Didn’t take long for the wheels to fall off the Boris bus https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/21/police-called-to-loud-altercation-at-boris-johnsons-home

All cool and normal

The neighbour said they recorded the altercation from inside their flat out of concern for Symonds. On the recording, heard by the Guardian, Johnson can be heard refusing to leave the flat and telling Symonds to “get off my fucking laptop” before there is a loud crashing noise.

Symonds is heard saying Johnson had ruined a sofa with red wine: “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care for money or anything.”

The neighbour said: “There was a smashing sound of what sounded like plates. There was a couple of very loud screams that I’m certain were Carrie and she was shouting to ‘get out’ a lot. She was saying ‘get out of my flat’ and he was saying no. And then there was silence after the screaming. My wife, who was in bed half asleep, had heard a loud bang and the house shook.”

what would the former housing czar, the honorable Sir Roger Scrutton, say about this.

she could have had a knife. appropriate measures imo

When contacted by the Guardian on Friday, police initially said they had no record of a domestic incident at the address.

*hmm emoji*

Hang on is that the woman the Daily Mail told me last week had turned Boris into an avatar of Jesus?

Huge profile of her in the Times this week, too.

it's almost as if

well we know, don't we? we know

In recent weeks the couple have been sharing a flat in a converted Victorian house. It has been reported that they intend to move into Downing Street together if he is elected leader.

"Police were today called to an address in Westminster over concerns for the welfare of etc etc"

Larks a-plenty coming our way once this pitiful turd ascends to his slippery throne.

xp
stop moaning about how our presumed right-wing elective dictatorship is being presented to us and give us a loud phwoah!

Johnson's neighbour for Chancellor imo - will help keep him on his toes

ah Symonds neighbour that should be

"she's been given credit for… his new hairdo"

Yesterday: Boris is the beloved former London mayor, who made a Labour city love him through his easy charm and wit.
Today: perfectly normal bits of London are ‘hostile territory’ where the former mayor can’t safely reside. https://t.co/4EfR241s4o

He needs a safe space like 10 Downing street.

'Love' this bit too: "She’s seen as his conscience on the environment… pro Brexit for animal welfare reasons."

sounds like Gove got to her first

"I can’t think of anyone after the Crash in 2008 who stuck up as much for the bankers as me. I stuck up for them day in and day out." - Boris at the hustings earlier, I know he's just talking the dead-eyed membership, but gl running into a GE on with this type of speak - which didn't sound very prepared.

"I can’t think of anyone after the Crash in 2008 who stuck up as much for the bankers as me. I stuck up for them day in and day out." - Boris Johnson today

Says it all.

Churchill’s self-obsession was tempered by a huge compassion for humanity, or at least white humanity, which Johnson confines to himself.

Blinding double zing from Max Hastings

he's such a silly old cunt and a complete waste of space as a historian.

Who, Hastings, Churchill or Johnson?

Hastings, but that it isn't bad for him!

Stopped clock dude, stopped clock.
