    Agreed he needed to go.

    Problem now for Starmer is he's got to start coming up with ideas instead of relying on being capt' hindsight and having a pop at anyone and everything, along with his nasty gobshite deputy tart flashing her knickers, and there will be his downfall because he has the square root of nothing to offer, no ideas, just Mr grey dull as dishwater know nothing. He's gonna miss Boris....

    Why isn’t the Dep PM stepping up to the plate?
    Surely that’s his pay grade and what’s expected of him?

    It's a shame its ended as it has because Boris did a better job than anyone else could have done with Brexit and covid. He didn't strike the initial deal he had to rescue it from May's limp wristed effort. And it's no use getting all hot under the collar over covid, would anyone else have done any better..? It's Absolutely laughable to think what Starmer or Corbyn would have done, makes me shudder. Easy to criticize afterwards isn't it.

    He's def screwed himself big time but it's a shame, best of a bad lot all round is better than any other option.

    Maybe because it's Dominic Raab, Ron.
    He makes Boris look like a God, which is why he presumably got the job.
    Frying pan and fire spring to mind.
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    An effective campaigner he may have been but he was totally unsuited for high office. A truly awful man and the worst prime minister we've ever had. Such a shambolic and humiliating end - perhaps that is fitting for such a man! He cares for no one except himself and the manner of his downfall will forever taint his legacy.

    Hopefully this brings an end to the corrosive politics of division that he promoted, the law breaking, the inane slogans, the twisted truth making, the attacks on cherished institutions and professions and the promotion of lightweight sycophants into positions of power

    I don't think there can be a worse replacement for him although there are not many who have acted with honor during the embarrassing debacle of his time in office.

    Looking forward to seeing the end of Rees Mogg and Dorries too :D
