Boris is coming to get you

[Xxx]

So funny if it happens not for you lot makes me laugh

[Siderite]

He needs approval of 100 MPs first, which is a challenge now. Besides, I am not worried in the slightest about a leader who was discredited and in the deep negatives for approval rating. The Tories are probably deluding themselves if he can be their saviour.

It would be quite amusing to see him lose an election and spoil the narrative. My opinion alone, but I don’t think he’d bring any significant recovery.

[Xxx]

I would be

[Siderite]

Why? His approval rating nose dived. There is no room for complacency, but there was a reason why Labour were happy to see him stumble on towards the end.

[Xxx]

Just watch if he does get in btw this post will be probably be deleted

[Siderite]

Just me watch what? You do realise that having a discredited leader with poor approval ratings is something Labour would relish?

Boris Johnson had a net approval rating of -33.3% at the end of his premiership.

That compares to Starmer's current rating of +1.0% and Truss' -58.3%.https://t.co/kz25YAmvxC pic.twitter.com/zomUPK6aTk

Am I bothered but it makes me laugh quite alot

[Siderite]

It would me, but I suspect for different reasons.

It’s like the calamitous election results earlier this year have been forgotten, as others pretend he is some guaranteed certainty for success.

[Xxx]

Ok you know best

[Siderite]

Not really, it’s just my opinion based on my own interpretation of events. It just amuses me that people try and make out Johnson is some unstoppable behemoth, when there are signs he isn’t. It’s like a few months of poor election results and poor approval ratings have been forgotten.

Of course he could win, but we can only base our opinions on signs before an event (like an election) happens. I don’t see him as some unstoppable force or great worry when the Tories are a mess.

[Xxx]

To be honest I’m not really interested but as I said earlier it won’t be so easy

[Siderite]

I think every leader should be taken seriously as an opponent, but I don’t have as much confidence as those making out he’s some unstoppable behemoth,

[Xxx]

Ok

[Iron-awe]

Don’t forget about the privileges committee, they have not delivered their verdict yet. Could be an interesting aside in anymore Boris banter.

[Xxx]

You hope

[Iron-awe]

Not really it’s just a reality to consider, I personally think Johnson is a busted flush and 59 members working in his government resigned virtually en masse as a result of their disdain for his flawed leadership. The country deserves better then his bumbling dishonest style but it’s just my opinion.

[Siderite]

An MP found unfit for office and is under investigation for breaking parliamentary standards. If he comes back as PM then how do the Tories expect to treat them as a serious party?

[Xxx]

You better hope he doesn’t come back cos you might be in for a shock

[Siderite]

You keep saying this. Of course he might do well, but he is not some certain power of nature. His approval ratings aren’t good, and approval ratings tend to decline with time.

What’s more, a significant number of MPs aren’t on his side, so expect more instability.

[Xxx]

Just wait and see like l said l look at it for entertainment value not from any political view point lt won’t bother me if he does or doesn’t get in but it might do you that’s all I’m saying

[Siderite]

Wait for what? Do you have a crystal ball? I would be more than happy for him to get in with his approval ratings from an electoral prospective for Labour.

I wonder how those who treat him like a hurricane of votes would react and spin if the Tories lose a majority. I am sure there would be no self-reflection for these certain proclamations, even after many did the same with Truss! Loads told us not to underestimate her.

[Xxx]

If l took this as serious as you l would be unhappy when all said and done it won’t effect you or l that much you can smile cos labour win l just smile because it’s taken far to seriously

[Siderite]

Hmmm. The party who rules us does affect me and all around me.

I am far less bothered than I seem on the debating front. I think a lot, enjoy debate and trying to see how others think and maybe learn a thing or two, while expressing my own opinion in the (probably vain) hope others can understand me better and maybe learn something themselves. Of course I cannot expect people to change opinions because of my arguments for many reasons, including the arrogance it would take for me to assume that I am right on everything and can sway every mind I interact with. Moreover, thinking about hot topics is a way of keeping my mind active and realising what’s needed to change the world for the better, in accordance with my political beliefs and principles.

[Xxx]

What ever floats your boat l can’t get into it like you that’s how it is for me good luck to you l hope you get what you want out of this

Yes, please, go for Boris, Tories. It could be political suicide.

For the country’s sake it has to be someone like Mordaunt or Sunak. However, if the Tories want to have a death wish with more instability and division under Johnson, then I can find solace in laughter. After all, Labour really aren’t going to be quivering in their boots at this. The Conservatives needs booting out and replenishing with fresh talent after failing. The situation is not tenable with the clowns in charge and is unlikely to change given they all have their tepid excuses for it.

Mordaunt ? you claim to be a centrist

Hmm nothing changes
