corbyn is toast

Cometh the hour, cometh the car crash

Yorkshireaboo based

A very ambitious , a dangerously ambitious nan and a big clown too!

Out of the frying pan into the fire!

Racist BorisJohnson wants to be PM but remember when he said Brown hadn't been elected by the people? Ignoring that PM is a Commons appointment

Well that’s one person who isn’t capable of being a world leader. Difficult to see who could be at this stage. The tenacity of Theresa May has been incredible. She inherited a poisoned chalice.

Well no surprises there. `The rottenness of Boris Johnson goes even deeper than his casual racism. His career is a saga of moral emptiness and lies, pathetic, weak and needy' (Lord Cooper). Up the Tories!!

Boris +run=oxymoron 101

Don't run! It makes throwing a milkshake over you so much harder.

God help us.

God forbid...

Oh god help us all

Stupid idea

Absolutely disgusting that with his blatant abuse of his power he's even allowed to put his name forward.

So turn this mess around now and end Mays farce of a deal/ treaty

However I shall be a Brexiteer all the way!!

No thanks Andrea Leadsome for me more trustworthy as PM all the way 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is the same trustworthy Boris who wrote an article on the huge benefits of EU membership saying it was a “boon for the world and for Europe” and then decided to back Brexit because it was more likely to enable him to become leader of the Tory party.

As a key player in the Leave Campaign he won't be able to escape his broken promises on Brexit.

🙄🙄the end of humanity. Gone are the days when there was respect and value for a “British” person. We are now the clowns in suits🙄🙄

That should be an offputting sight...

After a strong and sable a coward? He turn his back to government with all the brexit to be sorted. If today we still in EU it's because of this bunch of parasites like him. He wasn't good enough doing his job how can he be the one sorting all this mess?

3 YEARS TOO LATE TO STOP REMAIN RUINING BREXIT.

Naa don’t believe it, that is a surprise

Wouldn’t trust him to run a bath

All the charm of a puff adder

Matters not who UKIPTories pick as leader. There’s no BrextDeal that s/he can get that delivers the pack of lies Brexiteers like Boris told the British people. Sooner we face that fact, sooner we can move on with our lives, firmly in the EU. Here’s why:

Johnson, Raab, Gove...it makes no difference. We will still have a Remain parliament. The only way to deliver Brexit will be to hold a General Election and for Brexit Party to become the biggest party. Only then will we able to leave the EU on terms that the electorate voted for.

Making certain that the Tories will die a painful death....

Yet another freakshow in progress; God bless Brexit-UK, may he garner all the votes of confidence and muster all his talent, leadership and sheer grit in ensuring a successful Brexit. LOL who am I kidding? It is probably gonna end up completely matted, like Boris' hairdo.

No chance unless they take May away in a strait jacket she uses Gorilla glue stuck in No 10 she never goes out in case there is a coup. Her alien double goes out to cause trouble

that's us fucked

timeforBoris 🇬🇧💪🏼💙

Whoppee do. Said no one.

Oh no! What a joke! Cannot trust him after what he did when Brexit won. Will he run away and hide again when in trouble? Can we believe what he's going to tell us? Then again, we saw this coming, didn't we? All in the big plan... He will win of course but undeservingly so

My sympathies to all UK conservatives.

Left it a bit too late in my opinion.

Is there really such a shortage of talent in the Tories?

Boris had this banned on youtube once, I got it back though

BringOnBoris When he's 90?

I’m sorry I liked him when he was mayor, but I find him slippery now, doesn’t come across as “a man of his word” sorry, he is just not for me.

because he knew whoever took over from david cameron , would make a pigs ear of it.. and it'll take the next one to repair it...........................

I think even Boris is becoming dirty with being with the establishment. Boris should side with Raab if he truly cared for this country,

I think we should try a period without any PM.

WOW. Every day gets worse and shittier in the US. I forgot the UK is trying to commit harakiri as well. That headline is actually quite amusing though. I didn't think the shitshow could get any more ridiculous

There’s a surprise! Helped sink the ship, jumped before it sank and now comes back hoping no one remembers!

Theresa May is to the Conservative Party what kryptonite was to Superman!!! Vote brexitparty_uk Thank You!

Que tal Heitor_De_Paola

Ugh, buffoons in charge on both sides of the Atlantic? *shudders*

Great news (I hope!)

Go on Boris

Is Boris Johnson going to fail at the last moment to become prime minister – again?The one thing worse for him than having the cup of victory dashed from his lips again would be to win. He would then become prime minister with Brexit unresolved and the EU waiting to hear what his plan would be by 31 October Boris Johnson is a good politician. he is the failure by nature. Let's hope so!!!
