"Retrospective":- He and Trump now have endless hours in which to piss in each other's pockets over what could have been had they not been such arrogant fools!

Bugger the retrospective - I'm very much looking forward to the introspective.

It should be a hoot. :D

Yes, tamada is out of the blocks too fast. Prime Minister Johnson is going to be around a while longer. I expect even more trouble before he's gone.

Look at the publication date of the linked article in the OP and get back to me on retrospective.

Reading it is always optional.

This is for the, "We knew what we were getting" and the "Best of a bad bunch" afficionados.

Meanwhile, the 'Mad Monk' reckons our Boris is a bonzer bloke.

Gawd luv a duck, the last person I would be wanting an endorsement from is a fellow liar and deposee (?) - widely acknowledged as Australia's worst or second worst (depending on where you rate Morrison) Prime Minister.

ps also read the comments in the article - they are a pretty rusted-on mob of conservatives at the Tele. :D

It's popularly referred to as The Torygraph. Several of their regular Op-ed cabal are still saying Johnson's their hero and everyone else is hopelessly wrong.

The sun slowly sets on Boris's tarnished career as British PM and he and Carrie enjoy their second European summer vacation in a month. Despite his replacements pressing the flesh on regional hustings ahead of the "vote" in about three weeks from now, here's a casual reminder of the sea-change in government performance that we can expect as Britain heads into a dark and uncertain winter.
