Several other European governments that put the fake Biden Family Ukraine war ahead of their own people will collapse next - Netherlands, Germany and Spain of the ones I know.

self-inflicted - some bad decisions, deceptions and though a ‘conservative,’ he governed more as a liberal

I haven’t been following British politics enough. But my take is that they’re still sore on Brexit so when Boris Johnson “messed up” so now they are using this opportunity to get rid of him. He’s probably the best they have and the next leader will be the Tory version of Mitt Romney.

Yeah but this is UK. Their leader was never going to govern as an American. They are statist. They think that their NHS is the greatest thing ever.

The pathetic prick has paved the way for the Israel hating Labour Party to take over Britian at the next general election. A saboteur of conservatism.

I recall reading somewhere that his girlfriend had a lot to do with him acting the way he did (acting way more Labour than Conservative).

Netherland’s coalition government (4 parties) will collapse in four to six weeks. Spain...might take four to six months. Germany? Won’t be in 2022...it’ll be natural gas cost and gasoline prices that dissolve the government by mid-2023.

He will not be missed.

I thought he was a real Conservative when he was elected.

What a pitiful fake.

Just two days ago, he said he planned to be Prime Minister for 10 more years.

Any chance that Conservatives can elect another PM, or will they be crushed by Labour?

yes, Netherlands govt deserves to go, if this is correct. tweeted by a former Dutch politician:

6 July: Tweet: Eva Vlaardingerbroek
The Dutch minister who pushed the nitrogen law that grants the government the power to expropriate our farmers’ land has a brother who owns online supermarket
@picnic
. Guess who invested $600 million in that company? Bill ‘fake meat’ Gates. This is what corruption looks like...

Mommy (and all her cohorts)….they have most men’s cojones in a lockbox from day one. I am amazed how much influence women have over men. Powerful creatures.

You and most others know that it's just a weak excuse. Those so-called Boris scandals are ‘trumped-up’ like the cheap impeachment action taken against Trump for his perfectly normal call to some Ukrainian official. Remember that one? Johnson's scandals are diddly-squat compared to Biden's treasonous criminality of selling our crude to his corrupt partner China, who clearly is our number one enemy. Talk about giving aid nd comfort to the enemy?
