The real reason Boris Johnson was ousted

Re: The real reason Boris Johnson was ousted

Johnson arguably had the hardest tenure of any politician since WW2

If it was just Brexit, I think he would have actually managed to do ok as PM

But with COVID, he messed so many things up, so many more lies than he did with Brexit that it was a perfect opportunity for the rest of the conservatives to get rid of him.

His popularity helped him get such a majority that he should have had the power to get quite a lot done, and managed to **** it up with silly mistakes

He lied with brexit

He lied even more with covid

Thank god he's gone

Was that the Brexit he lied about?

Re: The real reason Boris Johnson was ousted

Only a few weeks ago, the majority of the tory mps backed him in a vote of confidence.
These same tories then started resigning and/or demanding that he resign.


Proves the old saying I suppose.

You have to be firmly behind someone in order to stab him in the back.

Just another reminder that even being on the "right" in this country means you'd end up being called "left" in the good ol' US of A.

Boris was a Tory yet his Net Zero "green agenda", his inability to break up and sell off the NHS and not tripping over himself to burn every single bridge with mainland Europe within 5 minutes of taking office would have him painted as a card-carrying Commie by the likes of Fox News et al. America's political compass is so skewed it's crazy.

There maybe something to it considering he was a WEF young global leader.

Absolutely.

I believe Boris made the Tories electable as he was popular. Any thoughts the far right of the Tory party has that it could take over and win elections are utterly mad. If they do that, Labour step into the middle ground and even someone as dull as Starmer would be PM.

Starmer is hopeless and will never win a general election

Labour have time and time again picked a busted flush as leader and they have certainly done it with him

you seem utterly convinced that the world economic forum is some all powerful organisation pulling the strings from the shadows.
did you know the " young global leaders " previously also included Wyclef Jean, Nico Rosberg and Rio Ferdinand.
it's clearly just an organisation for lobbying and networking, like many others.

currently has a 12 point lead over the Tories, and he inherited a 20 point deficit

Well opinion polls can swing . May called an election against Corbyn with a huge lead and barely scraped home .

He's without any charisma and should be taking it to the Tories but he's not up to the job .

he is.... underwhelming.
but they mostly need someone who the Tory press aren't going to tear to shreds.
they will be fully behind whoever the new leader is you just watch
