Synopsis of the best line this morning

[malaise]

Boris Johnson’s reign ends in disgrace just like his friend Donald Trump ending this experiment with populism

From a tweet read on BBC

1. Is this all over a couple of parties? I haven't kept up with UK politics

[malaise]

2. Parties, the Pincher promotion and the job hunting for his wife

And there are many more scandals.
That said it:# always the lurid scandals that bring them down eventually.

There is a serious debate over who is the bigger liar - Boris or the Slobfather.
They are both arrogant, entitled, corrupt shithounds.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. No. Endless scandals, endless apologies & endless idiocy; well the last goes unnoticed by Cons. . nt

12. They all go unnoticed by the cons in the U.S.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. He actually apologized? American repugs NEVER do that.

[House of Roberts]

3. I haven't been able to find out what's caused this 'last straw',

that made all these people resign.
They just had the no-confidence vote, which he survived.
I can't listen to audio this early and everything seems to be CNN and posted videos.

4. The Pincher last straw

[House of Roberts]

7. Whoever the Conservative Party replaces Johnson with,

I doubt they will be any better.

Thanks for the article. I figured you'd know more about this than I have time to find specifics.

6. This is my favorite comment

"Multiple ministers reportedly refused to defend Johnson, because they've finally become sick of their place in the stitched-up, crawling Human Centipede through which the PM’s endless stream of thick, lustrous bullshit has to pass before it reaches the public."

It comes from this very helpful and good explainer thread:

It’s only a couple of days since I did #TheWeekInTory, and here I am again because – oh hell, you already know why.

Anyway, here we go, you lucky, lucky bastards

1. Chris Pincher was accused of groping 2 men after getting indescribably pissed

[malaise]

8. Love it

[crickets]

16. Hilarious. Got me all caught up and

set a great tone for the day. Quite the wordsmith there.

[llmart]

17. LOL!

Britain's version of our Ferret.

10. I'm only slightly familiar with the Queen's English,

I did work with a crew from Birmingham, but would Boris be considered a wanker?

[malaise]

11. On steroids

[Novara]

14. Imagine holding a corrupt motherfucker accountable.

[malaise]

15. Apparently British Cons are more concerned with the survival of the party

Loved the bitter Darwinian part of the speech re the herd going in one direction against him
