Johnson to be still PM in a year. Are odds available?

I think they'll get the letters needed and the Brexit onanists in the membership will vote him back in, so he gets at least a year.

Any bookies offering a price?
 
I reckon it will happen when the report comes out. But he is defintely a gonner. Amazed more people did not see through him earlier and voted in huge numbers for him at the last election desptie knowing he was a proven liar
 
I am tempted to bet against the crowd at those odds. I would say its more 50/50.

On personality Johnson would win the next GE.

In 10 years time when Covid is a distant memory people will ask why was Johnson sacked - and they will be told because he allowed an illegal gathering at number 10?

Past PM resignations in recent times:

Blair - invaded Iraq and Afganistan and helped destablise the region for the next 20 plus years.
Cameron - called the BREXIT vote and lost - complete miscalculation with major long term negative implications according to 50% of UK population.
Thatcher - implemented a major new Poll Tax causing worse riots seen in London in a generation and totally fell out with her Chancellors and most her ministers.
Teresa May - failed to implement BREXIT vote, in any form.

OK Johnson has done wrong, but to me not quite in the same league as the others or maybe posters think different? (I am not a Tory voter btw)
 
Despite rumors of the full amount of letters going into Brady, why do I feel he still will be PM for some time yet... I can't wait to see what happens in polling after they appoint the next PM. No doubt there'll be an improvement, obviously. That should say a lot about whether the party is truly fked, electorally for some time. I reckon it will be Shunk. I can't for the life of me think of how the hell the likes of Truss are in the running. Seriously?? We are in deep trouble as a country, we've had one idiot drag us as down into humiliation and shame as a nation.

All these MPs standing up for 'Boris' saying he should stay, they're huge fans of his. Jesus. We have the same issue the GOP has in the USA. All elected members within the PCP are utterly insane, bar the few good ones who could actually run a government. Sadly, they're mostly now Independents who were cast aside by BJ for doing their job, not following his bull**** that has led us into an absolute shitstorm.

We're in a mini-Trump's America crisis. My only fear is, whoever replaces BJ ... the opposition loses support and this nightmare goes on for a lot longer yet. Which I sadly can't help believe will happen. I hope Labour has a plan in place and don't **** this one up. The Tories, they're there for the taking, I just have a hard time trusting the opposition to get the job done, make a change come to the next GE and restore some sanity within Govt and the running of this country.

Are you joking?

He's lost the confidence of the public and has lied to parliament. The latter is a resigning matter. That he did so over something so trivial is the measure of the man.
 
He's had it. Tory MPs are now increasingly on the record saying they've written No Confidence letters to Brady, and their 'red wall' newbies have met and organised against him. More than that, he looks and sounds like a beaten man.

Party politics aside though - and I obviously detest what this cabal stands for - the disturbing thing about this whole binning of him is that it's been totally orchestrated unseen by senior Tories with the connivance of the press. They have turned on him and ruined him just like they did to Corbyn. That is not democracy. We can't cry over Corbyn's demise and crow over Johnson's when the wrecking arms of the media caused both. The press in this country seriously needs overhauling. People like Murdoch carry way, way too much power and influence.

Yes.

Anyone with any passing familiarity with him knew that Johnson was unfit to govern, but because he was a convenient vector for their interests this fact was swept under the carpet.

Remember when he had a drunken row at three in the morning. A row so loud and seemingly violent it led to the neighbours calling the police? It led to front page newspaper headlines criticising those neighbours as 'remainers' out to get 'Boris'.

Yes, I think other posters would think different:

To Whit, falling to attend covid meetings and delaying putting initial covid restrictions in place far too late leading to many deaths

Hopeless and damaging roll out of brexit. Even if you're bigoted enough to be a brexitist you can't be happy with how he's implemented it.

This is ignoring all the lies, deceit, and plain taking the mickey out of the British public.

Two things he has (not) done that have caused death and misery to many and have damaged this country in a proudund and long lasting way. Making those who do survive poorer, with fewer rights and powers and a much more restricted life.

Shaking hands with covid patients, the whole cummings Barnard castle affair, saying he had complete faith in cummings despite now us all knowing he just had so much **** on him, keeping pratel in job despite bullying report, keeping Hancock in role, presiding over 35bn+ for track and trace, energy crisis and a multitude of other things

shambles

There's so much wrong in this post.
