Brexit.

Nonsense

What was/is more nonsense, him getting the job in the first place or getting it again?

They say a week is long time in politics and if Boris came in and rallied the troops by the time they actually call a GE he'll be voted in again

Unless he works miracles they are toast and his tenure certainly showed he is far from capable of any miracles. Plus he is still under investigation and even if he got in he could be put out again on the back of it.

Mortgage rates are too high

Problem is for the Tory party they are essentially 2 parties now (at least). You have the lunatic ERG fringe and then the right of centre. Most centrists or slight right of centre were purged under Johnson as most were remainers. Would love to see them split into two parties and be finished for a very very long time. If Labour win with a big majority and dont call for PR and closer ties with EU then i give up.

They had a referendum on PR and it was rejected - 67% voted no. Difficult to change that given the public has had their say.

Labour are not the good labour unfortunately. PR and Brexit are not the answers people want out of them

Over a decade ago. Would imagine vote would be more favourable now seeing as FPTP two party system has been demonstrated to be just about broken.

Its not for two year or so... He'll bring that down and ride off into history a legend!!

The big problem for the Tories and the rest of us is that they've got rid of any one with a modicum of ability.  Unless the new PM brings back a few old names, there's no one there with the capabilities needed to improve things.  British voters always punish Govs who oversee economic chaos.

Depends how the Tories/media spin it. You saw the claims a few weeks ago after the mini budget that the reason for the economy tanking was that Starmer was looking likely to get in next

[bennydorano]

Starmer would be delighted to see the clown back. Suicide by the Tories if they do it

The Tory party who's cabinet resigned en masse a very short period of time ago must hope that the English voters suffer from the very same amnesia if they think Boris will be a winner at the polls in a year or two's time.

Clowns making the UK a laughing stock.

[Square Ball]

Boris has cut short a holiday to return home. He's now 11/10 with Bet365

[seafoid]

The UK has been living beyond its means for a long time. The Current Account Deficit is the measure.
When Kwarteng issued the budget that game was up.
Brexit costs 4% of GDP pa. So the Brits have to grow their economy and get debt down with that handicap.
As the Connemara farmer said to the Yank looking for directions to Galway, "I wouldn't start from there."

I, for one, am in enjoying Brexit. The immediate demise of Ireland as a result proved unfounded and watching these eejits over the ponds implode is delightful.

Do you remember the London analysts insulting the late Brian Lenihan when Ireland was going through the wringer in 09 or so? Now it's their turn
