This country as been ruined by this vile clown coward.
Boris Johnson’s greatest contribution to the UK has been devastating the Conservative Party.
“Johnson is a winner…”
He shouldn’t have resigned then. He should have fought a recall election and proved he was a winner.
🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
The UK needs Political and Voting Reform.The country will never reinvent itself for the positive future until this happens.Preference or Proportional Voting has been the base of Democratic Systems of many other countries enabling Elected Upper Houses not like the Unelected Houses of “Lords” in the UK,the only one in the World.The Tories will never reform the Westminster System as it gerrymanders a bias towards them.
As of now the UK or England will morph into a inconsequential Ruritanian Oddity on the edge of Europe like the 1
Late Ottoman Empire,”The Sick Man of Europe”.
NOTHING WRONG WITH A POOR MAN'S TRUMP.
LESS TIME IN PRISON, AT LEAST!
When Boris finally managed to realise that he was not going to be the next Churchill.
He modelled himself on Trump.
And the same blissful ennui.
As an Australian, looking from the outside, I could never fathom why the British wanted Brexit…..
Populist press directed by foreign master puppeteers.
Boris HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. I think Nigel knows this. Nigel would be a fool to do anything with him Have we all forgotten Boris' lies and poor judgement… Nigel should know better – Boris is damaged goods. The last thing I want to vote for is a Boris Nigel tag team. We don't need politicians. We need people who can govern for the people of the UK first .Boris Johnson's a criminal I'll never forgot or forgive him for what hes helped do to the British people.
Before he took office I predicted that Boris Johnson would prove to be the worst Prime Minister in British history but I did not predict the extent of the damage he would do to the Conservative Party, whose electoral prospects now lie in utter ruins.
Right on Johnson, wrong on Brexit,and rather conveniently forgets about individuals, such as the arrogant Kenneth Clarke etc who also did great damage to this country,albeit in a quieter way.
Quietly?
Nothing new from the puffed up Arch Remoaner Lord Hesaltine, disdainful about the commoners who dared to oppose his views by voting for & BREXIT & for those who are attempting to implement BREXIT.
Brilliant. 🎉
Johnson voted in by the people and got rid of by the remainer establishment' politics in this county stinks.
Boris is a catastrophe in all situations!

Boris Johnson is a total stranger to the true or even life
" Its not easy being green remember that one " to a hall full of serious pokerfaced diplomats .You wouldn't see it in an episode of father Ted
The Tory party cannot singly blame BOJO. They must blame themselves for the economic catastrophe it has caused
You find the reason to why Boris was a winner in Britain here:

I hope you are educated enough to understand it.
HE DIDN'T WIN A LANDSLIDE!
Farage split the Labour vote and didn't split the Tory vote.
The landslide was inevitable. Why can't people see that?
Johnson always was a terrible loser, the man only signed up for anything he was assured of winning he did not concern himself with the damage he would cause, that clip of him steamrolling that kid to score a try sums up Johnson's self-entitled life. The nation will be better without him and those MPs who are still hanging on to his coattails hopefully don't get re-elected at the next general election.
Boris only thinks of himself ? You remember that when you live with him, work with him, vote for him ? So he isn't a team player ?
Boris is a inside job. His mission: destroy the tory party and he succeeded greatly.
Heseltine is another selfish remainer that has nothing better to do then draw his pension and stab people in the back.
He is the grumpy old man you just say hi to and make your excuses as you run past in the care home 😂
The bloke's evil.
The ENGLISH people have to wear massive responsibility for this mess too. They chose to vote for Brexit. They chose to vote for Bojo to 'get Brexit done', and 'beCaUse hE's a WiNnEr' (how asinine!!)
He should be in prison as should others
Telling me that Johnson has been ‘catastrophic for the Conservative Party’ still isn't going to make me like him Michael.
Best takeaway, "How you win and the integrity of how you win ….." . Thank you Lord Heseltine.
Sunak engineered 2 coups to get a job that pays him pennies…. WHY… to fix the economy broken by the previous chancellor…. SUNAK…
How the media forget to call him out is a joke.
The catastrophe is the whole political sysyem
Brexit may have been a disaster but Heseltine with the customary arrogance of all politicians ignores the fact that it was and still is the will of the people.
And if Brexit is a disaster it is because the politicians in charge of it…the Conservatives… did practically zero to anticipate and counteract the problems it would bring and have done less than zero to capitalize on the potential benefits.
This is because Johnson and his cohorts were never in favor of Brexit.
He lied and used it as means to get elected with a huge majority.
Since then, his aim and the aim of others is to scupper it.
Boris Johnson seemed like a genuine guy. Big support from America. 🇺🇸
The working class northern English( The Red Wall ) gave us Johnson. It is mind boggling why any working class man or woman would want an entitled, privileged, Eaton educated, narcissistic bully to run their country, and think it would be to their benefit. Quite astonishing.
Johnson is toast.
The GOP in the US and the Torries in the UK have become so distorted it is insane. They have always been the parties of the rich over the past 150 years, but they have leaned into protecting the wealthy so hard they have abandoned anything else and committed to conmen (Trump and Bojo) to sell lies to a now blue collar base because actual policy is something they cannot define or produce with any real commitment. Everything they propose is just a way to funnel more money to the rich. Inequality in both countries is rising….in what world do the rich in these countries think destroying those below them wont have an effect? The working class was hollowed out 30 years ago, now we are hollowing out our middle classes and upper middle classes, and destroying any shot our young people have to buy homes or build lives. The rich have become so greedy they are willing to destroy our futures to avoid paying taxes.
Heseltine was far more of a catastrophe for both the Conservatives, but more importantly the country.
No. Its all slander against Boris. The underpinning reasons and "rules" why we could not meet together and eat a snack have now been debunked, and shown to have caused an entirely avoidable worldwide economic financial disaster. So why do a witch hunt on our own prime minister over a few snacks, breaking rules that should not have been forced upon us, under threat of economic sanctions if we did not? It was a dictatorship from WHO. Frankly it is at IDIOT level to ignore the topic that the rules were causing an utter worldwide financial disaster, ruining economies, shattering nations like Sri Lanka, causing Third World starvation, and all the dozens of other knock-on effects, and then throwing out a prime minister for not keeping to the letter those exaggerated reactions that treated a flu type bug as if it was bubonic plague. You are letting Big Pharma off the hook and hang drawing and quartering Boris Johnson for not being a puppet. Meantime Bill Gates and Big Pharma are laughing that they manipulated the UK into beating up on our own prime minister instead of them. I hope Boris comes thundering back into politics soon, and as for me I am 100% convinced he is a true patriot, unlike most of the media.
lied about brexit and tore the uk apart…f…ck off
What he thought the tories were in his day is illusory. Now they've morphed into something truly dreadful.
All taknlmb2017 News Feed industry😮😅😅😢😮😮😅😅
The biggest problem for the country is the (chiefly) ignorant, gullible and delusional Tory voters who seem stuck in aspic thinking this country and the Conservatives rule the ocean waves.
Wiff-Waff Johnson is exactly what the tory party really is.
They're just upset he does it so publicly.
Nor should he… Heseltine was a maverick in his day resigning from the Thatcher Government and helping to overthrow her and had to give way to John Major after realizing he had no mates in the Conservative Party. Why we give this guy a mouthpiece I don't know…
Remoaner weasel Heseltine would say that, wouldn't he?
During the referendum campaign, he was trying to make out that Boris was cracking up and that was remainer bunkum as well.
He's been a disaster for the uk…never mind the party.
Why give airtime to this odious old man. He helped to run down our country in the 90s, and he's still whinging.
