A defiant Boris Johnson is believed to be planning a government 'reset' before summer after the 'tough night' of local elections.

He added: "That is what we are focused on."

Labour also seized Barnet, in north London, and Southampton, while West Oxfordshire and Worcester went to no overall control. Furious local Conservative leaders have already been turning on the Prime Minister, ordering Mr Johnson to "look in the mirror" and consider whether he should stay. However David Simmonds, the Tory MP for neighbouring Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner, said the issue of lockdown rule-breaking in Downing Street had kept coming up on the doorstep.

Keeping there heads down. But It’s too late .

Boris , his days as PM are numbered. What a mess his lot have made . Wasting our precious time with his irresponsible stuff ! The Country’s in a total mess thanks to him . Unfortunately I cannot think of anyone who can be our next PM. We need a totally different way to run UK

Anybody else notice that any ideas dried up when Cummings left? Nobody in the cult has any coherent (or legal) ideas of their own, but neither does their leader!

I thought he would be resigning by now

The only reset that will work is his resignation

He sacking himself?

I notice Sky and BBC are reporting number of seats lost because it sounds better than 11 councils which is f-all in the grand scheme of things.

What another one?

The tweet text, and link headline literally contradict one another. How the fuck is HE taking responsibility by resetting the government?

defiant as in a petulant, arrogant teenager

How many resets does this man need?

What again? Boris Johnson has never taken responsibility for anything in his very entitled life

Just words and more hot air from BorisJohnson JohnsonOut JohnsonTheLiar

Brilliant - “Boris Johnson is taking responsibility for the election results and plans a government reset” What’s the plan? Sack cabinet members in a reshuffle which basically means he’s doing nothing but blaming them - he’s a joke.

Time to do a Boris and throw his loyal friends under the bus once again.

Defiant Boris Johnson takes responsibility ....😂🤣

Will that be good enough for the many high profile mps (and ministers) whose seats are now at risk.

...brilliant...a rearrangement of the deck chairs on a sinking ship...?

500 Fu'king seats lost....500 five hundred.😂😂😂😂😂😂

They can keep Boris as leader for ever. He's the only guarantee that the next General Election will provide us with a Labour Government for the next 20 years. Just in case though, if he could see his way to appointing Jacob Rees-Mogg as Home Secretary that will seal the deal

This is like that ex that just won’t take the hint then starts going through your bins and shouting how he much loves you through your letter box at 3am. Resets don’t matter unless it includes him.

Simplest way to reset Government is for Johnson to go

Why is impunity always described as defiance?

It's called throwing his staff under the bus to further his own gains. Ah all those who came out to lie for him are now at risk. Classic Boris tactic.

'Hello IT....' 'What do you mean your government is broken, how?' 'No morals, widespread corruption and a total lack of talent you say ... Hmmm ' 'Try turning it off and then back on again' 👍

When will he realise that he is the problem

Tell me how a reshuffle is Johnson taking 'full responsibility' ? Isn't this more like Johnson blaming other cabinet ministers for his failure ?

Typical Boris everyone else fault so he'll move them around

Does that mean sack those who doubt him and promote sycophants in their place these days?

Nadine Dorries as Home secretary?

I appreciate that shuffles etc are common in government, but why does Johnson seem to do it mainly when he has problems. Others have made changes to make things better, he does it to fix issues. No planning, only reaction.

He can reset and reshuffle all day long ... its him that needs to go

how many readers is this ,nothing will change ,because Johnson won't change ,he is the problem

Only needs the one person reset

I have to say wasn’t there a reset last year by BorisJohnson

Johnson’s idea of taking responsibility … sack others!! Why do so many English voters still back this appalling man?

There is no re-set that is at all possible for Johnson. He’s stuck.

Obsessed with the silly 'reset' term aren't you

He's actually taking responsibility for something wow

Is he resigning?

We can use only hope this government reset includes his resignation. JohnsonOut103

La cocaracha will never leave. How many resets are these ?

Yeah BJ taking responsibility for anything is just words !! Means nothing like his premiership !! All he has done is make a mockery of politics and sack others for his own shortcomings!! There have been some right moronic leaders in the past 10 years seems the worlds going crazy

Once again,others to blame for his own lying and inaction’s.

He’s finished, word has it that letters are on the way 🤣👍

The only reset they need is the removal of Johnson.

Resigning is he?

Seen this headline before. He loves a good reset

Takes responsibility by sacking other people

When, precisely, did LBC become a mouth piece for the most corrupt government in living memory? The spin on your headlines here are labrynthitis inducing. Stop it, already.

Wait and see what happens in next Parliament election!!

Yeah everyone else is the problem 😂

If he resigns they may have a chamxw

It's not the cabinet that's the problem!

Can he reset himself as a backbencher ?

Unless that govnerment reset is a general election he can do one

Another one.. It's almost as if every time he fucks up, a 'reset' of government roles or processes will magically fix everything. Problem is he is the fuck up, he is what's wrong. No amount of 'resetting' is going to change this, Except to the gullible, the stupid and the racist

Lol enough said

The only reset that saves the tories is him resigning. Let me guess, this is not part of his plan 🤣

If he wants to help his country and party do one thing. Resign.

Too late he's had his chance. The guy is a complete disaster, an amoral inept crook who should have resigned months ago. He's been there far too long for any good that he's been doing. Go I say and let us have done with him.

'Biris Johnson takes responsibility'. That'll be the day.

A tough night? They lost almost 500 seats 😂 That's a bloodbath!

Another reset. How many do they need.

Another one? It doesn't matter. Johnson will have the same basic problem: Boris Johnson.

Of course he is...🤮

No he doesn't.

Resetting everyone but himself.

Boris Johnson Rejects Calls To Quit As Tories Suffer Heavy Losses In Local ElectionsThe prime minister said he was determined to 'take the country forward' by focusing on voters' priorities. Do you have 'Rejects Calls To Quit' set up as autotext as soon as you type the words 'Boris Johnson'? Could be a huge efficiency...🤔 He’s like Mugabe and wants to stay in power despite the fact the country want him to go. He could accidentally launch a nuclear missile but he wouldn't resign.

Tories capital punishment: Key London councils go Labour on bad night for BorisConservative party chairman, Oliver Dowden, said the local election results 'don't show that Labour has the momentum to form the next Government'. The fact that this is now a narrative of Labour not doing great and Tories not doing so badly is worrying for the whole country. A govt that has to resort to, “survival mode” isn’t a good govt. get rid of your leader, and you will wipe the board again. Just my opinion He would say that though, the lilly livered ponce Condom Khan out
