Did he do finger guns?He actually closed with the line, "Hasta la vista, baby."

Top GHe actually closed with the line, "Hasta la vista, baby."
at least he didnt go with "ill be back"He actually closed with the line, "Hasta la vista, baby."
Think he may have pointed a cheeky one at Nadine as he walked out, she was right on his tail.
Ben Swain come to life. Good riddance to the big blonde buffoon.
He's counting on his replacement being a total shambles - highly likely - and hoping that they'll beg him to come back - so that he can finish the task of destroying the UK himself.
My gut feel is that he disappears off to a newspaper job and snipes from the side-lines
If he stays on as an MP though and somehow keeps his seat in the next election (and the conservatives loose) I could see him taking a run then... but far more likely he attacks from the sidelines blaming the EU, Remoaners and backstabbers for pretty much anything he can think of... believe the spectator editor job just became available - could easily see that
I tried to keep an open mind about the Speaker being impartial, but pulling up the MP at the end for being a bit direct about Boris whilst allowing Boris to call Starmer a bollard twice has shown his colours.
He's a former member of the Labour party though.
Maybe he's trying to so hard not to be bias to Labour that he's gone too far the other way? Much like Labour's Gary Neville when he talks football.
Nah, he's just an incompetent twat.
Possibly but the ultimate dream of BJ was to become PM. If he gets another chance....
So Truss for PM... we are so fecked.
At least Truss is so unbelievably thick it might be a laugh. We're stuck with the evil bastards so might as well take the piss while we all get fecked.
Oh really.
I did watch PMQ today with Boris supposedly answering questions, something he has never done. And he didn't again today.
Oh no. Instead, he was there full of his own importance, playing up to his party preening himself and congratulating himself on all of his successes.
Brexit, pandemic, net zero by 2050, economic success, best performing economy in the G7 blah blah blah.
Just the odd minor omissions Boris.
Brexit is a shambles.
You and your party wasted billions on the PPE fiasco.
UK set to be the worst performing economy.
Oh yes. And inflation rampant and the worst cost of living crisis in decades.
Worst of all, you have been found out by your once adoring electorate as a lying incompetent has been.

He's the Corbyn of the Right
How's that? Are Anti-Boris Conservative officials covertly diverting election funds away from winnable seats?
No, I meant he's not got the support of the parliamentary party, but he's got his base in the members who are.. Um passionate, to be polite
Boris has written support from 4000 of 200,000 conservative members. Or 2%. That is a tiny percentage of Tory members.
Over 300,000 of 500,000 Labour members supported Corbyn. And that's without the support of the most highly circulated rags in the UK, The Sun and the Daily Mail in support.
Also Corbyn stood for socialism whereas Boris, as we know, stands for nothing.
Not comparable at all.
One was declared an existential threat to the country.
The other has overseen the deaths of 200,000 from an infectious disease , added £600 billion to the national debt, has taxes at their highest level for 70 years, national strikes over low pay, signed a terrible Brexit deal costing billions, crumbling public services, underfunded local government, rampant corruption costing the taxpayer tens of billions of pounds, has undermined the constitution at every point, was convicted of a criminal offence and stayed in office, and his time in office has been decried as a failure from the very people who are running to replace him.
No he stands for himself.
Also if you think he'd only get 4000 votes I have Boris' bridge to sell you
Boris is now likely to be 'off and away', from politics... 'been there, done that, bought the T shirt'. He will leave the Tory party as hopelessly divided as he found it, and easy meat for Labour if they can all (for once ) pull together in the right direction and at the right speed... but nothings certain, especially with Labour!
Boris's has got lots of books to write now. How I......became the peoples champion and 'Got Brexit Done'; fought off Covid and 'Saved Britain and the NHS; gave the Tory party seats they could never have dreamed of winning... 'Destroyer of the Red Wall', etc. Appearances on TV shows, who knows maybe a film, the world is Boris's 'oyster card'!
Or... he could bear a grudge and sit on the backbenches firing 'pot shots' as his successor, and those he considered stabbed him in the back... but there is no fun in that... maybe he will wait for the Tories to come back to him, who knows, but things will be duller without ..."the man who would be King... even if he had to lie about it".

I could see him getting back into TV stuff
Sadly, members not focused enough on actually getting in to power. They are too idealistic.
Read than since 2 years ago, Labour has lost a third of its members.
Tories are far more effective at holding their noses and voting for their brand.
There was both the Brexit Party and the campaign to remain in the EU recently.
The Brexit Party took voters away from the tories to the point where the Tories had to push more to the right. And the campaign to remain in the spent most of its time trying to change the Labour Party EU stance(Too “idealistic” instead of wanting to win power).

Thing is politics should be dull. I don't want sleaze, scandal, corruption etc... in the news every day. A functioning government would be, in their own words... "getting on with the job" , instead of just talking about getting on with it.
People go on about dead cats but the biggest dead cat in the room was the clown in charge.
Out of the mouth of children eh?!
I have no clue why MP's do photoshoots with children, it is always cringeworthy!

Yeah, good luck finding 'temporary skilled workers'. It is just gig philosophy writ large, and will only make exploitation of low skilled workers even worse.
Corrected that for you.
Yeah, true. Guess that's the aim.
