The Johnson thing has to be intentional right?

Spread to friendly journalists as a distraction on a night that’s the beginning of the end for the government.

Shortbread?

Deep fried heroin with a Buckfast reduction.

Or maybe, just maybe he actually is the thick chaotic disorganised **** he's always seemed to be & all that stuff about it being "an act" was put about by his allies.

Or his inbred sense of entitlement makes him genuinely think that it doesn't apply to him.

So many levels of **** on offer it's actually confusing.

Aye. I think to believe it's not deliberate you've got to assume he's not got people advising his every ****ish little move.

Well that's a given. Tbh he's had that spot on for most of his existence. Those with influence (papers mostly) pick some weird puppets.

I've met a certain guy, through work, who was at the Telegraph at the same time as Johnson. This guy is in his mid 70s, lifelong Tory voter. The archetypal gentleman of the shires. Voted in every election since 1970. Stayed at home in 2019 entirely due to Boris.

Apparently when he could be bothered to actually turn up at the Telegraph his daily grind consisted of yelling at people to get him a drink before taking a 2 hour lunch break. Almost all of his columns were ghost written by junior staffers from his brief notes. Often written on the back of lunch menus, despite his office having reams of notepaper in the desk drawers. More often than not he phoned them in.
In 2 years of working on the same landing, Johnson asked him 4 times where the lifts were.

The one & only time I have ever heard this gentleman use any profane language was in describing Boris as " As thick as a ****ing Dundee cake " For such a man to become PM made him thankful to be old enough to be not long for this world as " what on earth is the point in sticking around if it's come to this? "

All good enough for me.

I think this one is is genuine. Largely because there doesn’t appear to be anything directly in it for Boris Johnson.

Although maybe Rishi has promised him back in the cabinet if he gets back in. Hmmm.

I’d have a tenner on this coming up again this year with Johnson claiming that the nefarious deep state blob denied him his democratic right to vote.

Much in the same way that he got ULEZ rolling and now his wing of the party uses it as a stick to beat Sadiq Khan with.

West Mids Mayor swings to Labour.

I think that’s worthy of a loooool

We all know which way you swing, that’s for sure

It's been very dignified all this local election stuff. Both West mids and London results did make me lol though.

The top end of google was mostly about how London would be "closer than anyone thought"

Closer inspection revealed a reliance on coverage by the Mail & Telegraph.

Khan wins with an increased majority, despite voter ID being more likely to have cut the Labour vote (other than for a Mr B Johnson of course)

It took me a while to stop laughing after reading the predictions mentioned but not so much as I wondered how many people actually swallow that sort of rubbish. All very tiresome.

And Britain First got fewer votes than a bloke with a bin on his head. A good day for London.

Sounds about right. Bit difficult to be a Britain First candidate though I'd have thought. Standing on the stage waiting for the results, 42 years old, wearing an MA1 pilot jacket, checking your watch because your mum told you to be in by 11 or she's locking the back door. Not a great look.

You say that, but it’s pretty sad that in every election these days we seem to have some ****ing nut job in a daft outfit who gets a load of comedy votes from complete ****wits and just soaks up the press from their pitiful PR stunt. State of British politics FFS




Pleased that Count Binface beat him…
