I think it’s obvious who the fickle ones are……people who have their priorities all wrong.
Hear Hear!

Because we weren’t shackled to the European Union, thanks to Boris, Britain was the first with the vaccination rollout, which he gave the go - ahead for, and which was a great success. Many thousands more would have died if we had been dragging our feet like the rest of Europe and the US. But that doesn’t matter, apparently, it’s only people’s lives.
As you say, no PM in recent times had to deal with so much in so short a time span - Brexit, a pandemic which nobody knew how to deal with, the war in Ukraine, in which he led the West in giving support, weapons and training to their cause before others dared.

And people are complaining because he had a bloody drink with some colleagues to unwind…and of course, all world leaders are perfect, the most truthful breed there are, and never tell lies… ever….

Man's a disgrace.

He's literally "jetting in" from a lavish luxury holiday in the Caribbean WHEN HE SHOULD BE WORKING as a serving MP for his constituency. His most recent of a few breaks abroad mind you since he quit and went AWOL where again he SHOULD have been working.

I hope he does get in again because it'll be the final nail in the Tory coffin. His ego, disregard for others and sense of entitlement will be his downfall (AGAIN) and I for one can't wait.

General Election NOW.

the whole things is a farce, Boris is struggling for 100 noms and his popularity in the tory membership has only gone one way .... downward. His popularity among wider voters has dropped off a cliff. The popularity of the tory party has dropped off a cliff. That won't be repaired by boris coming back, they crashed the economy and everyone knows it. They are laughed at at home and abroad. Anyone that seriously wants the tory party to remain in power after all this really needs to give themselves a shake

Most importantly, he is demonstrating to the world that the only thing he cares about is his own ego

I guess he, like everyone else is entitled to a holiday and leave. They all have them...do you know when your serving MP goes on holiday?...probably not.
He does have an ego...but dont they all.

MPs actually have no annual leave entitlement in their contracts which could mean that they have zero entitlement or 100% entitlement to leave They have 80 days off from sitting in Parliament and most take their holidays during those times.

Maybe Boris, like many people, can't afford to go away in school holidays with the cost of living crisis

yeah, mp's effectively have the same term times as schools, so have plenty time to take holiday. However, there is no requirement that they must attend the HoC unless whipped. Plenty mp's have terrible attendance records. Ann Widdecombe had one of the best attendance records

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results - Einstein must have forseen this Boris Johnson ****show we are living through when he came up with his theory of insanity.

I'm disappointed Penny isn't making any headway.

We can only hope Sunak gets in, as the prospect of Boris in again is horrific. He's only gonne do something wrong in the first week.And then a snowball of mistakes...

Madness.

Exactly Annie

Like I said if Boris is allowed back in,then the Tory party might aswell call it a day . We literally cannot trust them.

The hell Jeremy Corbyn got for still being in politics( bear in mind he was sacked & his own party members were against him) ,and he WASN'T even PM !! , Yet people wanted Corbyn gone from the face of the earth.

But it's ok for Boris to break a billion rules ,laugh in our faces . Tell lies and be cunning etc . For people to now be like " awww Boris we want you back " , it really is insanity .

Why he's seen as this 'loveable buffoon ' I'll never understand.

The markets wobbled today as the prospect of Boris returning.

If that doesn't signal something to the MPs who want Boris in, then they need to all resign.

Agreed. I don't think Starmer is a strong leader....but people are now so sick of the Tories Labour will win by a landslide if there was election tomorrow, regardless of their leader.

i'm not convinced boris will stand, he is not going to want to become leader to go into opposition in the future and there is also a real risk now that Sunak could beat him in a head to head. Thats not how he will want to end his story

If there was an election now, then yes. 2024? Nearly 2 years is a long time in politics. Anything could happen.
