    Booed by the super patriotic royalist types who hang around outside St Paul’s for a Thanksgiving Service the Queen isn’t even at? The sort of people who undoubtedly don’t know that there alternatives to voting Tory? Who are genetically engineered to forgive Johnson virtually anything with a Tourette’s spasm of ‘but Labour…..’?

    Oh dear Boris.

    To balance it up, there was absolute silence when Starmer arrived, which is hardly a ringing endorsement.

    And people who have travelled 100's of miles within the UK, or 1000's of miles from outside of the UK, all to watch this Jubilee celebration, at least according to Sky News.

    According to a new poll, the public vastly overestimates the size of minority groups. Britons believe 20% of the population is black, 15% Muslim and 15% gay or lesbian. The real figures are 3%, 4% and 1.8% respectively.

    It's broader than that. Have you watched Sky's latest version of The Midwich Cuckoos? Set in a Buckingshire village - 70% of the inhabitants are black. It's media manipulation and patronising.

    I'd be equally irritated if a director tried to show Brixton was 70% Caucasian.

    Tories have splits all over the place on a number of issues. I cannot see a unifying leader among them. A Lib-Lab coalition government beckons, and a rise of parties to the right of the Tories, based mostly on the issue of immigration.

    My best hope is that he narrowly survives the confidence vote, but is so damaged that he decides to go the country in a vain attempt to save his own skin.

    Anyone hear Jesse Norman state the reason for his letter of no confidence was not Partygate...but that Rwanda deportations and the NI Protocol change were both illegal acts, and Boris was acting like a president not a PM.. ( or in my words a tinpot dictator).

    Another interesting statement a lot of the letters received by the 1922 committee were post dated to today, so as not to interfere with the weekend

    Awaits Johnson starting to sing rule Britannia, ban garlic and bratwurst… all accompanied by certain areas of the media to try and stoke **** up against the trans community and ‘wokies’ … that’s if they haven’t got their next puppet in place.

    I don't think the Tories would allow this to happen. Remember what they did to Margaret Thatcher.

    Favourite to replace Boris is currenty Jeremy C. Hunt, so hopefully that's the kiss of death for his chances
