If that bloke has any similar rants, he is a prospect for a heart attack.

Pretty average humour from that Jonithan Pie guy, IMO. Cliches galore and over-acting. Boris, on the other hand, could pull out some pearlers. He was a terrible PM, but a great entertainer. (Hides under chair because Boris is the bogeyman.)

Explanation of what happens to elect a new PM
Dear World, You may be wondering what happens next in terms of the British constitution. The answer is that 3 newspaper owners - all of whom are non domiciled in the UK for tax purposes - get together and choose our next Prime Minister or “Poodle”. The Queen then anoints them |

Maybe they should line all the prospective PM's up and let the Larry the cat choose which one he likes the most?
He'd be better at judging character than old Rupie anyway.

Tory formguide:
The good news: Johnson’s on the way out. The bad news: look who’s on the way inOne ridiculously graceless ‘resignation’ speech later, here are the top Tory gorgons competing to control the sunlit uplands Boris Johnson is leaving office with the same dignity he brought to it: none. I’ve seen more elegant prolapses. Having spent 36 hours on the run from what other people know as consequences, Downing Street’s Raoul Moat was finally smoked out of his storm drain on Thursday, having awoken that morning with what one aide described portentously as a “moment of clarity”. I mean, he’d lost 57 ministers? And been booed everywhere from the steps of St Paul’s to the cricket? Hard to know how much more clarity could have been offered to this big-brain, short of a plane flying over Downing Street trailing a banner reading U WANT PICKING UP IN THE MORNING PAL? This is the version of Jaws where the shark eats the mayor, and the entire beach is rooting for the shark. They got Al Capone on tax evasion; they got Al Johnson on evasion. Character is fate, and the prime minister was undone by his lifelong pathological inability to tell the truth. Johnson’s ridiculously graceless “resignation” speech ran the gamut from pettiness to miscast victimhood – a sort of Bozzymandias, where the vainglory stood in painfully unfortunate contrast to the fact it was all lying in ruins around him. As the boos threatened to overwhelm his delivery, it was clear that what would satisfy the crowds was him being made to do a walk of shame, like some Blobby Cersei Lannister. (Same hairdo.) Failing that, he should have been wheeled out of Downing Street in the booze suitcase. I saw that preposterous old tit David Mellor running towards a TV camera to claim Johnson’s downfall was a tragedy “worthy of Shakespeare”, which makes you realise the writer Shakespeare could have been if only he’d realised making Falstaff king would have been the banter option, and the best way not to Get Agincourt Done. Watching Johnson fail to play Henry V for the past three years has been like watching the lift-music version of Laurence Olivier have a crack at the role. The sort of prime minister that makes people leave reviews like “Amazon, why is it not possible to give zero stars?” Still, Johnson always said he didn’t want to be a one-term prime minister. He will now not be a one-term prime minister. We’ll return to him later – but first, let’s have a look at some of the runners and riders competing for control of the sunlit uplands. Remember: make like Perseus, and only look at them in your rear-view shield. < border="0" ="https://c546435619e93069c479dd4bf483ad6a.safe.googlesyndication.com/safe/1-0-38//container." id="google_ads__/59666047/theguardian.com/commentisfree/articleg_8" title="3rd party ad " name="" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="0" height="417" -is-safe="true" sand="allow-s allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sand allow-same-origin allow-s allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" role="region" aria-label="Advertisement" ="0" -google-container-id="6" -load-complete="true" style="-sizing: border-; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; font: inherit; vertical-align: line; min-width: 100%; height: 417px;"> Back to Johnson, though, whose farewell speech demanded a single facetious question: “Will you be having a leaving do, mate?” The answer, amazingly, is: yes. Apparently one of the reasons Johnson wants to cling on as caretaker, taking no big decisions, is because he and his wife are having a huge belated wedding party at Chequers later this month. Liggers to the last. < border="0" ="https://c546435619e93069c479dd4bf483ad6a.safe.googlesyndication.com/safe/1-0-38//container." id="google_ads__/59666047/theguardian.com/commentisfree/articleg_9" title="3rd party ad " name="" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="0" height="417" -is-safe="true" sand="allow-s allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sand allow-same-origin allow-s allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" role="region" aria-label="Advertisement" ="0" -google-container-id="7" -load-complete="true" style="-sizing: border-; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; font: inherit; vertical-align: line; min-width: 100%; height: 417px;"> The outcry has forced them to seek a new venue – but only because they were found out. It’s like some especially grotesque version of the butterfly effect. How many Britons’ lives will be affected, probably for the worse, by some dead duck’s determination to hang around for his wedding party? In the worst economic crisis for generations, how might some struggling people’s existences be made worse by this guy’s attempt to sneak past Theresa May’s number of days in office? What care, precisely, is being taken by this caretaker? Wedding parties, days-in-office here or there – what desperately small and pathetic ambitions these are. And how accurately they reflect the psychopathic political character of a man who never had a single belief in anything other than his own advancement. If you want a mildly consoling glimpse of Johnson’s long prime ministerial afterlife, once his memoirs have sold (and sold well), then picture him being slapped awake by his handlers in some six-star Malaysian spa hotel, then trundled down to the conference anteroom to sit with other speakers, like Al Gore and some sex case from the World Bank, before going on stage to do his 500th rendition of The Speech. £120,000 a pop; Raging Bull-style weight gain and gnawing despair come as standard. Ultimately, though, the disappointments and desolation are all ours. It was Johnson’s world; we now have to live in it. It’s quite sweet that people still talk of a “realignment”. I don’t mean to cavil, but what the hell is “aligned” here? The UK will now have had four prime ministers in just over six years. It’s a rolling mess, a joke to much of the world. The only thing you can really align yourself with is the view that it can always get even worse and even more chaotic. Send in the clowns. Ah, don’t bother. They’re here.

Blimey, Boris tells 1% of the amount of lies Trump does. Hard done by. Should move to America where they don't care about such trifles as telling the truth.

I've always amazed at how many of the British ruling class went to a single school - Eton - or have the same degree from the same university - Oxford PPE. Or both.
PPE: the Oxford degree that runs Britain |

Liz and Rishi have their Oxford PPE. Boris and David have the Eton PPE double if memory serves.

Kemi Badenoch was getting very popular with the people but didn't stand much chance of getting MPs votes to make the top 2. A few people are wishing Boris could run again against those 2.

The quality of would-be leaders of the Conservative Party is entirely if unsurprisingly consistent with the newbie Liberal Party leader and Deputy in Oz.

What’s the go with sussssan Ley?
Point blank refused to discuss her portfolio when a Minister. Actively buried reports that she had commissioned. Now, she’s on tv daily, spouting all kinds of nonsense. Although she has one pervading theme. There is no history of Australian Government prior to 6/22. Puzzling that’s she not proud of her, and her Governments track record……. |

I take it back. Upon further investigation I find that Rishi did come up the hard way - Winchester, not Eton.
