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

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

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

(xp) Only white people are working class.

xp he’s too left wing for them

aye and i'm not sure he's sound on the backstop

xp he’s too left wing for them

you can bet that im storing that one up for again

I have today informed my Association Chairman that I will not be standing at the next General Election. My decision is a personal not political one. My statement to constituents: https://t.co/PJzdlRwFfB 1/2

😘

Personal not political yet I see the word 'Brexit' mentioned 🤔🤔🤔

he shd've stopped and campaigned for parents' work rights if it's that much of a burden

Not only was his speech a car crash but now Boris is getting pelters for using police officers as a political prop a la Trump. It just keeps getting better.

tbh that solid wallogina of pigs was pretty funny

Gammon in front of bacon

that bloke from Wakefield who said to Boris: Do me a favour, please leave my town. otm

Go Wakefield!!!

Who is that man?! https://t.co/F2RnIm5Hgd

at least May knew her limits and stuck to Tory safe spaces when she campaigned in Yorkshire.

Letting BJ do a walkabout with Kuenssberg gives him too much -- for one thing he can be demagogue with passers-by and get them to shout for Brexit, for another he doesn't get asked serious questions as say Paxman might once have done.

As JC said: BJ is evading scrutiny to an extraordinary degree.

But the fainting cop really is one of the great moments of its kind.

I’ve just been texting back and forth with my friend who’s from Wakey/Ossett and he says he’d love to see Boris fending for himself on the Westgate Run.

it would the briefest "Wakey Run" ever!

[would be]

let’s start some iron rules of britain for interloping yankees:

1 if I’ve heard from your faither I don’t need to hear from you
2 never need to hear from a hugo, will, jolyon or oliver

Trump level if this hasn't been shared before:

This embarrassment is our Prime Minister. This is the man we send to the world as our representative. Making a formal speech with full coverage at a time of unprecedented national crisis on the subject of law and order. It’s like we accepted some perverse bet to outstupid the US. pic.twitter.com/SeMN0MJfWd

Was gonna say that, while it's flattering, this is one arena where you lot would do well to avoid imitating us too faithfully.

so... did he just ad lib a speech today because the speech he’d prepared was day1electionspeech.docx ?

Ad libbing is what he does best, haven't you heard?

can i just say i watched fatty soames’ commons speech (hoping for a bit more incontinent emotion) and basically

fuck off soames

^ realised i still had this in my drafts.

on the speech. imo johnson is genuinely of the view that he can improvise anything and people will find it charming and he doesn’t need a script. because he is indulged and pampered and always has been no one normal has told him it’s excruciatingly embarrassing even as performance, let alone as something intended for serious consumption rather than a warm-up act or after dinner drunk pabulum.

not sure what the rogue always is doing there but tom d otm.

Boris is getting covered like he’s Corbyn

he's that good at ad libbing his top spad/dark genius of spin can send him out anywhere ill prepared - 8d chess!

Maybe Dominic Cummings is getting cold, cold revenge for BJ stalking his wife in and out of the workplace all those years ago.

the intense cumming of evil

Oof

it’s been quite a day for our prime minister, all told

Anyone watching this super cringe?! He's doing that "joke" again (who opened up abt this, about him at some donor night) by deliberately messing up a punch line.

It was Jeremy Vine

LOL @ people worrying over Bozzer's mental health on Channel 4 News after less than one day of his 'election campaign'.

this is just like an episode of In The Thick of It.

— Simon Hedges (@Orwell_Fan) November 8, 2017

I’m in stitches imagining the shadow cabinet doing this:

Interviewing Lloyd Russell-Moyle today, he said BJ frequently gets distracted while making a speech and just stares vacantly around. Opposition now actively trying to distract him by making weird noises.
