I can't think of anything better than having a boring person in charge. After the last 6 years or so, I would f**king love someone boring.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,435
We are living in the xfactor generation
Everything is a popularity concert
A lot of people in this country will vote for some party just because their leader is charismatic and likeable - which is of course, ludicrous
Why did Blair sweep Labour to power with huge landslide wins? Cos of his policies? No - cos he seemed like a nice chap
Ridiculous

To be honest, I don't think opposition parties win elections.
The incumbents lose them.
That's what'll do for BloJo, rather than who's sitting opposite him.
Mind you, Andy Burnham might give him a good kick up the backside.

I agree that the Tories were in a terrible state in 97, but Blair and Labour did a lot to win that election, from wooing the right wing press to presenting themselves as trustworthy on the economy.

They were certainly refreshing, which was what was needed at the time.
I no longer listen to politicians when they are on the TV.
I just get out my pocket torch and shoot its beams up each of their nostrils while they are on the screen to check for cocaine use.
I see that Pincher dude is seeking 'medical help'
I wasn't aware there was a cure for being a f**kin drunken, creepy old c*nt
Well good luck with that - get yourself sorted and no doubt Bojo will take you back in about 6 months
Interestingly, on the rabidly Tory GB News Mark Dolan opened his show with a monologue on how Boris should go. Also, two of his guests on his superstar panel were The krankies. Not sure what they thought of Boris as I turned over to watch Love Island.
Even so, it looks like the right wing media might be growing tired of Boris and beginning to worry about a Labour led coalition winning the next election.
You'd think you would get tired of always being wrong.

That's because, as I've said all along, he is not a Tory.

Are any of them proper Tories? None of them seem to share much DNA with the the Tory party of yesteryear.

Yes, you're quite right. Which is why I declined to vote for them at the last election.

Good man.

Was that directed at everyone and everything, Stephen?
You need to be more specific.
Another mass shooting in the USA and hardly a ripple in the news.
No 'good man with a gun' helped out. A TV reporter even said that they have the strictest gun laws in that state as if it was a defence.
