The member from Birmingham yardley not going quietly

Canvassing opinion on the new shadow cabinet. Asked for thoughts, one Labour MP simply replies: "Would have been better with me in it". I mean, fair enough.

Purnell says the hospital admission will be difficult for Johnson who, like his father, rarely admits to illness or notices it in others. “When I worked with him as his deputy [in the Daily Telegraph’s Brussels bureau], he was certainly very, very intolerant of illness in others, and considered it as sort of a weakness.”

I mean of course he thinks like this, a lethal combination of blitheness and bullying.

No real surprise that he's one of *those* bosses.

At least ten TFL staff have now died, including eight that worked on buses.

If only Bob Crow was still with us.

boris is more of a jim crow man

Raab hasn’t spoken to Johnson since Saturday?

The Prime Minister has been taken to intensive care

hwfg

thoughts and prayers

Holy shit.

I’m fully behind his speedy recovery if it means avoiding Raab or Patel as PM.

So the charade that he was a-ok just a precaution lasted exactly 23 hours.

Boris Johnson dying while the Ghanaian pallbearer meme is big would be the closest Britain has ever gotten to giving reparations

I’m sure he’s still leading from the front

He couldn't...could he?

Feeling bad about my fake "PM IN INTENSIVE CARE" article I sent round the family group chat as an April Fool.

I think he could. Is Michael Rosen OK btw?

PRAY FOR RONA

Tom D - yes Rosen is making a recovery

Yep, until I see a cadaver this didn't happen.

Yeah I’d say he’s really unwell going by how Downing St has informed us of his condition to date.

we all ready to get tutted at by the usuals if this cunt dies?

Via a tweet 😀

nah say what you like darragh but you've never wagged the finger at people cruelly celebrating a celeb death

A whole cascade of precautionary measures being taken here

12m ago

It is understood Johnson was moved to the intensive care unit just short of an hour and a half ago.

The decision was made by his medical team after his condition worsened over the course of Monday. The prime minister is understood to be conscious and to have been moved as a precaution in case he needs ventilation.

Tomorrow he'll pick his coffin and lie in it, as a precaution in case he dies.

we all ready to get tutted at by the usuals if this cunt dies?

Mashing refresh on the RIA Novosti homepage.

Was about to say the Russians were telling the truth, it was the Tories who were lying.

My feeling is that karma is a bitch, so I would rather not snark beyond a certain point.

the more reason to take the joy as it comes bg

suzy and dmac, the angel and the devil on my shoulder

well I’m no fan of his general political outlook, but I will give Keir Starmer credit for making his first act as leader of the opposition killing the prime minister
