"Will Boris now become the PM he was always meant to be and save the country from Coronavirus and Brexit."


No - he won't. He can't


Because brexit never was and never will be a circle that can be squared


He signs a (thin) deal with EU? Country is worse off than now AND ERG headbangers will do for him

He leaves without a deal? - Country is banjaxed and sane people with do for him


Whichever way he jumps... he is done for. Because that Brexit chicken is about to land for real

Damn, beaten to it, was planning to post a thread "Cummings leaving card" to allow people to post nice things like "good riddance" (or things much stronger)


The plagiarise something that I have been shown - Trump going, a Covid vaccine and now comings gone - a good week


Otherwise still think we are fcked but one less thing to pee me off. wonder what middle England, and the Midlands, NE and NW Blue wall think.

Unsurprisingly we're getting conflicting accounts of what led up to Cummings' walk-out, difficult to decide who's telling the truth when both are pathological liars. Cummings leaving by the front door is interesting though, there are more private ways to leave No. 10, so he obviously wanted to be seen and seems to be gearing up for a public spat with Johnson, get stocking-up on the popcorn!

This 'leaving' video has some scarily apt music...

His style is totally back door exit, so I'm presuming it was a deliberate ploy to throw us off the scent of something else, what are they trying to hide this time?

Cummings will not disappear into the sunset. Odds are he will link up with Gove again and Boris will be toast.


Covid messed up Boris's grey matter and to make matters worse he is getting in the neck from Carrie and Graham Brady. He's on borrowed time.


Meanwhile Cummings is sharpening the knife for Gove to use at an opportune moment. That will be around Feb/March 2021 when the Brexit/covid/economic pain peaks.

I wouldn't be so sure about Boris. He won an election with an 80 seat majority and that makes him very difficult to oust. And while I agree that Cummings has not gone for long, I doubt Gove would win any leadership election against Sunak. I think Farage will be more of a problem to be honest, but there are no elections in sight, so who cares?

Isn?t it possible though that Johnson could be ousted with a vote of no confidence from MP?s within his own party initiating a leadership contest? By all accounts, Cummings is loathed by MPs so it?s unlikely that a known associate of Cummings i.e. Gove would be chosen. The prospect of a Farage/Cummings partnership is horrifying but I wonder if that?s behind the renamed Reform Party?

As for new tory leader, who MPs like or don?t like is beside the point. The leader will be chosen by the wingnuts of the membership


Johnson will be gone in weeks. His majority has nothing to do with it. He is manifestly ill suited to the job. Clearly doesn?t enjoy it. And within days will have to make the decision the country has avoided for 4 years. And when he makes that decision, events will take over and he will be gone.


Then, with the effects of that decision unfolding next year, the mood of the nation will darken considerably. I would not bet on there being no election for 3 or 4 years


Even without the effects of brexit, we will have a party which will have had 4 leaders in 4 years, with no discernible taken near the cabinet. I don?t think that?s sustainable until 2024

It is though through last men standing series of votes by MPs that defines the final shortlist of two that is then presented to the general membership: would Gove and his associate Cummings make this shortlist?

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Rockets · Posted

      Err, are you saying that the Greens are not a political rival to Labour? Funny how those convictions only come to light when many politicians don't get what they want....do you honestly think that Cllr McAsh would have defected had he been allowed to lead Southwark council? Absolutely 1000% not.

      He's not acting according to his convictions though, he's acting entirely according to his own ambition and self interest.  I'd be very concerned if I was a parent of a child in the Primary School he teaches at. His new party advocate teaching primary school children how to use crack cocaine and heroin: https://metro.co.uk/2026/02/21/green-party-says-primary-school-children-should-be-taught-to-take-drugs-safely-27031825/   Anyway, I feel we will finally be well rid of him. I don't believe he will stand in this ward. He will have a much better chance of election in Nunhead and Queens Road.

      I trust people who act  according to their convictions regardless of what other people might think. I don't trust people  who stick with things which no longer feel right for them. I was once a fully paid up member of the Labour party, and went to local meetings. Along with a number of other people I know, I left the Labour party and  no longer go to local meetings. The Labour party has moved a long way to the right, and the Green party now represents much of what Labour used to stand for. I don't think "political rivalry" has anything to do with it. I find that a very strange choice of words.

      I don't really understand the question in this context? I mean, yes, most of us are motivated by a degree of self interest but Rockets is not standing for election as a local councillor( is he?), nor did he stand for leadership of the Council, so in that sense does not have the power or influence to significantly affect thousands of voter lives.
