PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

It's infrastructure week in the uk

Hope the thirty cops behind him arrest him.

Lol at these square jawed piglets trying not to fidget while he waffles on endlessly

The Great Orator is stumbling staccato through this drag of a "speech"

"Jo doesn't agree with me abt the EU, but he would agree that we need to get on and sort this thing out"

loool

Johnson asks police what the police caution is.

None of them read it out to him, so he tries to recite it himself. You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say may be taken down as evidence and used in evidence against you.

(Except Johnson does not say it coherently. He stumbles, and gives up half way through. Is he expecting someone to help him out? It is not clear, but it looks as though he has given no thought at all to what he wants to say.)

sounds like a cracking gig

Is this... supposed to be his election campaign launch speech? Oh this is hilarious.

think I perhaps didn't truly appreciate his vast capacity for fucking up absolutely everything before

he's even more 'he's be... he'she's... he's he's a coward'

Haha, third media question that begins with "if even your own brother" lol

Q: Shouldn’t you be next to resign?

Johnson says MPs said they would respect the referendum.

He says there is a stark contrast between his approach and Jeremy Corbyn’s. He says they are making it impossible for the country to leave the EU, and for the country to have an election. He says Corbyn must be the first opposition lead to oppose an election. That goes against his job description, he says.

"I'd rather be dead in a ditch than going back to Brussels asking for a delay."

already kinda looks like he's kinda not into this

wonder if any of these policemen have any thoughts on the subject of leaving people dead in ditches

this is... not good

no this is very good

he's now exploding about jezza again, chocking on syllables

Listening to Boris Johnson's police speech now & it's like when the guy in the Thirty-Nine Steps has to give a lecture in order to avoid getting killed by spies

one of the cops sitting down because it's taken so long?

fs some rozzer just collapsed

Did that cop behind him just pass out?

Panic attack maybe?

standing directly in the sun in all-black garb can't be helping

Missed a prime opportunity to barf on his head.

wonder if any of these policemen have any thoughts on the subject of leaving people dead in ditches

Good to see here's a leader that really reaches out when someone's in need amirite

That Ian Paisley quote isn’t any better the more he repeats it.

this is astounding

You absolutely love to see it 😁*

The Telegraph has been told by two sources in the rebel group that relations between Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings are becoming strained thanks to the behaviour of his chief adviser https://t.co/GFtDbuFWsO

Apologies to my dentist

remember when May got a cough and the letters fell off? seems like sheer statesmanship

He's going to start dancing soon :(

Like I was just thinking this yesterday. Making her instagram rant seem measured and her NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!1 bit seem less laughable by the second

Like

He is literally doing the same as her? Repeating the exit date. Going on and on about Corbyn. No responsibility. It’d be hilarious if I was watching this happen somewhere I didn’t live.

Still kind of hilarious tbh

Boris rarely gets coverage this bad that’s sustained or that he can’t bluster his way out of it and it’s an obvious shock. Corbyn is watching like, pfff, amateur.

jyremee crybnob, you have made it impossible for me, the prime minister's brother, to be a conservative mp pic.twitter.com/KAMOoHpXI0

Ah sweet that neurologist's outside Parliament now challenging JRM to come outside and libel him

This speech sounds a lot of fun from ILX reports but BBC news is on in a minute and I would expect them to report it as a rhetorically effective performance that put the pressure where it belonged - on Labour.

It's been said by a bunch of us over and over again but BBC pundits' determination to represent the views of the gammon on the street has debased their journalistic credibility forever, it somehow keeps being shocking no matter how often you see it

Kuenssberg wearing mourning I see

he was really low energy - the only time he seemed to perk up was when he was attacking JC on the 15/10 election, and then the cop fainted which unsettled him again

In other news, Dr David Nicholl has taken to College Green with a message for Jacob-Rees Mogg...asks him to repeat his earlier comments outside the House of Commons, and if he does, Nicholl says “I will sue” pic.twitter.com/O9gZM69jqp

boris looks absolutely fucking knackered

xps to NV

Now I’ll list the races from most to least important.

JOURNALIST:
Awful. Go on.

really need the election to be postponed until after Johnson's died in a ditch tbh

wonder if any of these policemen have any thoughts on the subject of leaving people dead in ditches

Depends if they served in the troubles

goddamn thats a solid connection

Seems like the wheels have already fallen off Boris' cardboard box bus.

graun not impressed

Boris Johnson's speech and Q&A - Snap verdict

That was the most extraordinary prime ministerial press conference we’ve seen for years - perhaps not quite as dramatic as Theresa May’s “nothing has changed” meltdown, but certainly more peculiar. Even by Johnson’s standards, it was rambling and shambolic. The only rational explanation I can think for what happened is that it is all part of some ultra-cunning plan to convince Jeremy Corbyn that he can vote for an election because Johnson will be such a hopeless campaigner, but life normally doesn’t work like that. If it looks like a cock-up, it probably is a cock-up.

Daily Mail journalist:

Verdict from lobby colleague: 'That was more Boris Yeltsin than Boris Johnson'

Northern vox pops all white people! I wonder how many they film versus how many are aired.

tories will be missing a trick if they dont at least consider offering leo the gig next tbh
