Is Boris Banjaxed?

[Ashtree]

Often when No 10, is denying a story, it’s just to buy a bit of time. In this case, I don’t doubt it’s also to buy time. Of course, it shouldn’t really matter as the real PM is Cummings.

Boris Johnson denies claim he could quit as prime minister over coronavirus-related health issues

Father-in-law of top aide Dominic Cummings told visitor PM was struggling and could be gone in six months

There is a difference between hating Dom and hating stupid arrogant behaviour.

I doubt that Boris will quit any time soon.

Could be some truth in it, his job was to get Brexit done but with the toll Covid has had on the country and on him personally he maybe realises that he's never going to be seen the same way as his hero Churchill and he could have lost a bit of drive with his scare.

As somebody on the radio put it; "Boris doesn't want to be Prime Minister. He wants to have been a Prime Minister".

I dislike Dom because I dislike arrogant and irresponsible behaviour. That said he has qualities that Bojo likes and perhaps needs. For me he let himself and the party down . As with my opinion about DT I am ambivalent but the public must judge in the final analysis. I really wish it was all good and straightforward.

under what authority?

He was knighted by the queen when she mistook him for the head of the government. All rather embarrassing but it cannot be undone, she is the head of state after all.

There are some drama queens around...

Calm, confident and accurate predictions, as always...

Of course, his health may be far more seriously affected than we know; but the opposite may also be true, he may be recovering superbly - he certainly looks and sounds alright.

If he is truly healthy, I think it most likely that he'll see the opportunity to lead the country to recovery as the closest chance he'll ever get to emulating Churchill. I hope he can and does stay the course.

We'll see.


(Any bet's on who'll take over if he steps down?)

Once a Torygraph / Spectator journo always a journo. So our PM main man he is scurries off to a remote Scottish hide out for his hols. OK so far. And what happens he pops up yesterday to rant about the Proms and now Land of Hope and Glory and to chastise the BBC. Goodness Johnson the buffoon is so Trumpian. He ho. Rally the Tory shire troops what ho.

Rishi Sunak?

If only to see Labour go ballistic at the Tories for not only having had two female Prime Ministers, but the first BAME PM as well.

I can see Mr Sunak becoming PM, he is a touch on the young side still, and let him hand over the reins in a few years when the economy is properly green shoots.

Yep, he has the intellect, but not yet the gravitas.

 

[DealeyPlaza1963]

...think it will be to tax-'efficient' off-shore sunlit uplands he retires to....purely for health reasons......

He could be more than old enough by the time that happens.
Has BJ got that much time left in him?

Who with a sane mind would want to take over from Boris just now?
