I don't think he can be loyal to the party that have just shafted him. However, he was and still is in this only for himself. He wanted to be seen as the new Churchill and genuinely doesnt give a toss about the general public. What a massive casserole of nonsense.

The concerning aspect of this is it doesn't rule him out of going for the leadership himself. Surely the Tories are not THAT stupid, are they? Actually .... of course they are.

Craig 6581 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) For a Tory, Major has always had a degree of sensible pragmatism about him. He's absolutely right, here. Edited July 7, 2022 by Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are probably disproportionately represented on the BBC in the interests of "balance". Edited July 7, 2022 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20422 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 What's the risk btw that Johnson will conduct a scorched Earth policy in his remianing time if not expelled now? Pretty high I would think, especially with the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has often been shown he’s not even close to being as clever as he thinks he is. What he envisioned as some rousing speech to cement his legacy and perhaps even buy time to save his skin will have just made most of the party want him out the door before he causes more damage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll create a mechanism to have him out by Wednesday at the very latest I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
