I think Johnson might have an equal number of lowlights in his short tenure as May in her entire tenure.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Apparently the speech was an hour late and he had them standing up there on the stage the whole time.

Not able to listen to that clip right now, any chance of a quick summary?
Watching Boris be PM is like watching one long episode of Have I Got News For You hosted by Boris himself.
I’m surprised more remain MPs are not making the point about why we must respect an advisory referendum result from 3 years ago when we’ll have 2 general elections before finally leaving?
Pro Leave keep banging on about ‘the will of the people’. Well that can change, sometimes very quickly, else why have the Fixed Term Parliament Act.
Why is the result of that referendum so holy and sacrosanct, especially as it’s supposedly the most important issue as a nation for an entire generation and the original 51.8:48.2 was such a close result anyway.
I understand the politics of Pro Leave, but am very disappointed by the Pro Remain inability to make this point. Labour would win next GE if they were solidly Remain and willing to form coalition with LibDem.

That and his performance remind me of this.

One of the most telling things I’ve ever read about Boris.
Jo Johnson quits to spend less time with his family
Convention Would suggest so...
But if he chose not to I'm not sure what the legal process would be and how long it would take to remove him from office... But if he can string it past 31st October I'm sure he would try
Why is this important? Who are these people?
bravoOf course not, nicked it off the Private Eye
is that yours? If so, bravo.
Indeed.
Because the majority are young and are likely to vote Labour and remain.
Just when you thought they couldn't sink any lower, JRM compares an NHS doctor warning of medical shortages to Andrew Wakefield

Hope at least 5000 in Uxbridge!
It baffles me how anyone switched on enough to see through the tabloid rhetoric still believes that Corbyn is less trustworthy than any PM or the vast majority of cabinet members we've seen this millennium.
Even if/where he has ulterior motives, at least it's not just about making his mates richer at the expense of ordinary people.

thats exactly what it is
the conservatives think (or at least want the majority to think) that the majority of the poor are poor because they are lazy and feckless and therefore deserve to be poor. Wheras the rich are rich because they are intelligent and hardworking.
hence the narrative that they always peddle that those that scam the welfare system are a major problem, whereas all the research shows they account for less than 1% of the welfare budget. The narrative drives home the message that the poor are feckless.
Whereas most of the funding issues could be solved if you could get the rich people and rich corporations to pay the taxes on their wealth that they should.
I am not saying overtax the rich, just that they should pay the same proportion of their income in tax as the poor do. currently they pay much less.
Disgraceful. And doesn't have the balls to say it outside of parliament and his protection.
Has only been said about 5000 times on social media today including once about six hours ago in this thread
is that yours? If so, bravo.
Yeah, the doctor was on Sky News saying JRM was a coward and dared him to repeat the words outside of parliament.
His constituency voted nearly 58/42 in favour of remain. I hope in a general election he finds himself out on his arse.
I love how polite they both are."I'm awfully sorry old chap but I think you're a proper wanker."
"Gaffaw gaffaw hohoho nicely done old chap"
Pfft. I was always a miserable sod.
Laura Kuenssberg even used it on the six o'clock news.
I wouldn't worry about Colin. He fecks dogs apparently.
You should rather blame the many landlords you have in parliament then.
Yeh, but you used to be fun before, you're just miserable now.
She was quite nice actually, just a pity she was a Shitty fan.
This Cummings fella isn’t half a decent fast bowler
IF we have an election and IF Boris Johnson is shown up for the bullying little weasel that he is and IF the Tories still win whilst Scotland becomes more SNP (got my vote officially after they promised a new super campus for the college and schools in my area) when does everyone want to move into my house?
We'll welcome everyone, even the miserable bastards who live in Sunderland.

I'm picturing you driving around in a white van shouting "phwaoooooorrrrr orite luv?" at random women on the street.

Sorry, that doesn’t convince me of culpability. Not even close. Wanting businesses to turn large profits is good for the economy. Regulating against something profitable, especially when and it’s hard to spot the faults and things to regulate against without a great dose hindsight, isn’t really telling me much beyond a general dislike for people that make loads of money.
The idea that somehow New Labour either weaponised or could magically fix a centuries standing mentality in the face of circumstances is preposterous. The Tory party had from 1997 to 2005 three very eurosceptic leaders (Hague, IDS and Howard) who turned the party into a single issue party banging on about immigration all. the fecking. time. It had resonated with the mentality of a lot of working class voters and Labour couldn't really ignore the issue entirely hence some of the moves you describe above.
That's fecking hilarious
"Jolly funny... *to MI6 agent* have that nice chap shot please, my good man."
"Very good, Sir. Tally ho"
It's like service with a smile, but the service ends with a brick to the temple.
He's Alan B'Stard for def.Have you got room for a Welsh lad who wants to move from Hereford to somewhere that realises it's not 1972 anymore? Happy to do the cooking and cleaning!
