Boris Johnson to be our next Prime Minister?

I would have thought that his part in the plans to have two men beaten up would alone have brought criminal charges, but since then his further blunders as London mayor, MP., cabinet member and worthwhile human being have also been "criminal".
 I love the way he takes the credit for the London Olympics!!

He will continue to be a buffoon and a walking embarrassment, but he is more dangerous than that, especially as an ally of Trump. Other countries think we have lost our minds.

Agree with Nat that Jeremy Hunt has done himself no favours with his views on fox-hunting.....except in the eyes of some of the Nasty Party involved in the casting of votes for future PM.

He shouldn't have said the letterbox thing but it isn't racist.

Also the Radcliffe thing is a nonsense. It's quite nauseating to see all these politicians feigning sympathy to score political points. SNP in particular.

What we should be doing is telling Iran to fucking release her now or well fucking come and get her out.

Boris is not responsible for despotic regimes.

Maybe a few threats wouldn't go a miss. They are taking the piss out of us.

Having said that one benefit of Corbyn getting in number 10 would be the fact he has a fantastic relationship with their dictatorship and would probably get her out.

Also - we should invade Iran if they don’t release Radcliffe? Quite a ridiculous statement to be honest.

Where did I say we should invade? I said we should threaten them.  They are threatening us every day in the seas at the moment and our lame duck PM accepts it. 

Also labour is being investigated by the echr for racism.

How do they know we have no intention of doing it?
