[Cleoriff]

Boris Johnson has been voted as the new leader of the Conservative party. He won by double the votes  from Jeremy Hunt

A very good reason to be leaving the country soon. ....

Everyone with their daggers drawn.
Trump probably finds Boris entertaining
EU waiting to make mincemeat out of him.

Stay cool @jonsie 😎
Boris is a mongrel (by that I mean he is not old money) the Conservatives are sending this greedy fool out to be slaughtered, holding this very hot potato. Strategy strategy

[Cleoriff]

Throughout these hustings between him and Hunt, he came across as full of bluster, stutter and lies.

However he did win with 92,153 votes against 46,656...so just shows what the Tory party wants...

As they said in Dad's Army, 'We're all doomed'.....

Lamb to the slaughter @Cleoriff
Boris no class not a Statesman
Can be wasted, has no moral compass
Perfect😉

[JAZZ-trad]

Yes and the majority of Brexit voters voted out, Boris is for out, in fact he headed the campaign !
perfect good strategy
Should Brexit go well miracles happen - fine
Should it go belly up then fine Boris failed can't come back.
Other matters of State will be monitored he doesn't have "executive powers"
Britain has had to suffer fools before we can weather this

Boris is a man that just typifies british pomp & privilege. He is so far removed from reality and is now on a course to make the lives of us hard working people much more difficult.

I really just hope the british people as a collective have the nerve to rise up against Johnson and Corbyn, and that idiot Farage and drop the lot of them at the next election in favour of something new.

Don't worry about Boris now he wears the mantle of responsibility he will be the one who feels the pressure, he'll get it hard. @welshsteve76
He is a man of straw.
Probably blow away in the wind with luck😉

Interesting thought @welshsteve76
The Brits did rise up against King Charles I
His over indulgence etc. and we had Oliver Cromwell republic for sometime he put in parliament but found them greedy too!
Nothing changes.
It seems there's not much choice out there.
Kings Queens Princes Princesses Lords Ladies Government members, once they get their snouts in the trough they don't care about anything or anybody.
So we have to do the best we can to live with it.

Trump now has a new poodle. His advice to Theresa May regarding Brexit was to sue the EU. An amoeba has more brain power. Let's see how Boris rolls with that.
