"No. He enjoys being PM too much."

He loved the idea of being PM, but he hates actually being PM. He never guessed he'd actually be expected to do some work for the 1st time in his life. Or that he'd be paid less than he got before on the gravy train. He'll be eager to return to that gravy train as soon as he can.

Was your hunch influenced by yesterday's front page story in Metro and the New European ?

He couldn't sort a pregnancy in a maternity ward either.

Wait... that one he could do.

This rumour has been going around for a few days, it's to do with the salary, he's only on 150k, with a free house, country estate and full board. The poor mite, he has an unknown number of children to provide for!

Genuinely not. Not familiar with the Metro. At all.

"... in the Spring after he sorts Brexit.

He will quit in spring or earlier for "health reasons", just before the lack of planning and preparation becomes too obvious. Boris is not known for liking detailed work ( or liking work at all), he prefers to be in the centre of a party cracking jokes and being jolly. Unfortunately this isn't the job description for a prime minister

Doubt it. If Johnson goes, I bet Gove will weasel his way into the top job. He's wanted it for years. And Cummings worked with Gove before he worked with Johnson. So I'd bet Cummings would stick around no. 10.

Gove won't get the job. He didn't finish in the top two last time and he hadn't got Sunak to contend with then. He's also inextricably linked with the present Brexit farce.

The next PM will either be Sunak or Jeremy Hunt, because they are the only two capable candidates the Tories have left.

It's nothing to do with capable. It never was. We wouldn't have got Johnson if capability was an issue.

Sunak's too new. Some people have been singing his praises simply because he ended up being the man who had to give out loads of money. It's easy to be popular when handing out money. People forget he entered his job as a yes man for Cummings and Johnson after Javid quit when they tried to muscle him into doing exactly what they wanted.

Hunt will likely try again, though. He's the sort who always hangs around, smiling creepily.

I still bet it'll be Gove. And I hope I'm wrong.

That's because Johnson was chosen to do a specific job. The Tories knew he was a feckless idiot, but that didn't really matter because he appealed to the gullible Brexit supporters.

If Johnson goes, the Tories will want a steady hand at the tiller to prevent them slipping any further in the polls and Gove is not a steady hand. He's far too divisive a character and he's also linked to the upcoming Brexit fiasco.

Sunak may be new to the job, but he's impressed people so far and is currently riding at the top of the cabinet ratings. If he doesn't blot his copy book in the next couple of months he stands a good chance of becoming PM should Johnson decide he's had enough.

Hunt is also in with a shout, because he's not tainted by either Covid or Brexit and he polled second to Johnson in last years leadership contest. These are the only two candidates with the credibility or ability to do the job.

I've no doubt that Gove will make an attempt to replace Johnson, but in my opinion he won't get the backing to succeed.

He wouldn't need his human suit then. He could revert to his lizard form as soon as he is promoted to supreme leader!

I jest of course. But if there ever was an argument for being ruled over by a race of lizard overlords. Gove is that argument.

Yes they are, just, and it's the just that they'll be worried about because in December last year they had a huge lead, if you recall.

Johnson is unpopular. That cannot be denied. His approval rating has fallen both within the Conservative party and with the electorate, and this discussion is about who may replace him if he decides to go voluntarily, not how popular the Tories are.

I’m not sure that funny is the word I would use.

It’s incredible that after 10 years of austerity that have decimated our schools, hospitals, police forces etc... that this lot are still in charge. I wouldn’t say it’s funny though.

But hey, if people think that toffs like Johnson, Rees-Mogg etc... are the best choice to defend their interests, there’s not much to be done. There have always been some turkeys voting for Christmas. It will never change.

. It is good to see that he is still in the lead , though that is only to be expected as the voices that matter are those of the silent majority , not those who shout loudest but fail to realise that their views are those of a vocal minority .

The only result that matters is the one returned on the day of the election. The public made their opinions of Boris Johnson very clear last December. You would have thought that that might be a wake up call for those whose choose to constantly criticise him.

Gove won't get the job. He didn't finish in the top two last time and he hadn't got Sunak to contend with then. He's also inextricably linked with the present Brexit farce.

The next PM will either be Sunak or Jeremy Hunt, because they are the only two capable candidates the Tories have left.

It's nothing to do with capable. It never was. We wouldn't have got Johnson if capability was an issue.

Sunak's too new. Some people have been singing his praises simply because he ended up being the man who had to give out loads of money. It's easy to be popular when handing out money. People forget he entered his job as a yes man for Cummings and Johnson after Javid quit when they tried to muscle him into doing exactly what they wanted.

Hunt will likely try again, though. He's the sort who always hangs around, smiling creepily.

I still bet it'll be Gove. And I hope I'm wrong.

That's because Johnson was chosen to do a specific job. The Tories knew he was a feckless idiot, but that didn't really matter because he appealed to the gullible Brexit supporters.

If Johnson goes, the Tories will want a steady hand at the tiller to prevent them slipping any further in the polls and Gove is not a steady hand. He's far too divisive a character and he's also linked to the upcoming Brexit fiasco.

Sunak may be new to the job, but he's impressed people so far and is currently riding at the top of the cabinet ratings. If he doesn't blot his copy book in the next couple of months he stands a good chance of becoming PM should Johnson decide he's had enough.

Hunt is also in with a shout, because he's not tainted by either Covid or Brexit and he polled second to Johnson in last years leadership contest. These are the only two candidates with the credibility or ability to do the job.

I've no doubt that Gove will make an attempt to replace Johnson, but in my opinion he won't get the backing to succeed.

Funny how if boris is so useless and unpopular the Tories are still in the lead in the polls . It is good to see that he is still in the lead , though that is only to be expected as the voices that matter are those of the silent majority , not those who shout loudest but fail to realise that their views are those of a vocal minority .

The only result that matters is the one returned on the day of the election. The public made their opinions of Boris Johnson very clear last December. You would have thought that that might be a wake up call for those whose choose to constantly criticise him."

Boris kicked Andy Burhams arse tonight. He was offered 60 million, wanted 65 million, ended up with 22 million. What a wanker. All the people in Manchester who have got covid in the last 10 days can blame this dickhead. Plays politics when we should be working together, typical labour knob.

Except that manchester would have got the 60m even if frank sidebottom was the mayor. Burnham is a gobshite that is using the situation to make a name for himself and further his political career.

Its all a big charade just like pretending to find out about the lockdown from twitter. He was told hours earlier by the government. He also knew that the 22m was for track and trace on top of the 60m but was happy to make out Manchester was only getting 22m.

As usual though, the left will believe anything they could use against the gov. Doesn't matter if its bullshit.

"Boris kicked Andy Burhams arse tonight. He was offered 60 million, wanted 65 million, ended up with 22 million. What a wanker. All the people in Manchester who have got covid in the last 10 days can blame this dickhead. Plays politics when we should be working together, typical labour knob.

Except that the 60 million have now been awarded so he’s done a pretty good job for Manchester.

Except that manchester would have got the 60m even if frank sidebottom was the mayor. Burnham is a gobshite that is using the situation to make a name for himself and further his political career.

"I just hope the useless cretin takes Cummings and Gove with him.

Doubt it. If Johnson goes, I bet Gove will weasel his way into the top job. He's wanted it for years. And Cummings worked with Gove before he worked with Johnson. So I'd bet Cummings would stick around no. 10.

Gove won't get the job. He didn't finish in the top two last time and he hadn't got Sunak to contend with then. He's also inextricably linked with the present Brexit farce.

The next PM will either be Sunak or Jeremy Hunt, because they are the only two capable candidates the Tories have left. "

Hunt could do it , but his fight with the NHS might affect his chances. Sunak is potential , the electorate seem to like him depends if the party will let him, they may prefer Gove. Hancock isn’t mature enough

What has "capable" got to do with it?"

After the utter fiasco Johnson and his chums have made of running the country, you'd expect the Tories to want someone with at least a veneer of capability to take over when Boris goes.

Both Sunak and Hunt at least appear to have some gravitas, so in my opinion they are the front runners to replace Johnson when the time comes for him to go.

It's speculation on my part though, and I could very well be wrong.

Why would they bother with someone who has "at least a veneer of respectability"?

Johnson got elected, and is giving hundreds of millions of pounds to people to donate to the Conservative party.

They're not even arsed anymore about pretending to care.

Are you suggesting Globus may have also donated to the SNP?

No, I am suggesting that NHS Scotland don’t give out contracts to friends and relatives of political parties, unless you can prove otherwise

Then we agree that Globus is an excellent choice to award PPE contracts to, irrespective of any party donations they have previously made.

Yes, like I said earlier, NHS Scotland have chosen well, "

... and as hundreds of new jobs created as a result of the DHSC contract, the DHSC have also chosen well

Indeed and the £400k donation is of no relevance of course. Good that they are creating jobs here I agree.

However in no sane person‘s mind can any due diligence be claimed whatsoever giving a £122m contract to a company 44 days old or a £42m contract to a dormant company,

Those are blatantly not proven or able suppliers. They have been given fee range to exploit some other manufacturers on the back of being friendly with the Government ministers.

That is wrong in anyone’s book.

It’s just theft from the taxpayer!

Agreed the Globus contract is not the best example to make your point.

"

Globus has donated £400k and been awarded a contract by the government. If a civil servant accepts a box of chocolates they have to declare it. If that same civil servant was given the £400k for his political views then awarded the contract to Globus would you agree that’s good practice?

I was agreeing with you that it’s better to have jobs here and you make a shallow comment! Feel free to answer on the other two contracts as I’m interested in your point to justify them?

I was disagreeing with you that some of the contract decisions are puzzling - I merely pointed out that there are better examples to make the point - nothing shallow about that.

The fact the Scottish government awarded a contract to Globus suggests it is not solely the fact the company has donated over a number of years (I don't believe the donation of £400k was a one off immediately at the time of the tender being posted) to the conservative party that ensured they were awarded the DHSC contract.

"He's going to give us Christmas off from restrictions first apparently.

And who says the tories never give anything away for free.

I wouldn't be so sure he will its in the peoples hands as I see it if we are sensible keep our distance the infection numbers will drop but if we don't then the rules will stay. "

.

Impossible to police , if restrictions stay in place over christmas then millions of people will ignore and there will be civil unrest. So our great leader johnson the incompetent clown will lift restrictions for 10 days and he will expect us all to be forever grateful. The blokes a t##t

The selfish, arrogant bastards will do as they wish at Christmas regardless of what the rules are.

The majority will follow the guidance to slow the infection rate.

Just a hunch.

Was your hunch influenced by yesterday's front page story in Metro and the New European ?

Genuinely not. Not familiar with the Metro. At all.

I can see no reasons as to why these contracts should not be given to either newly established or dormant companies .

In the circumstances mentioned, it is likely that due diligence was more extensive than that carried out on more established companies. If someone has an extensive background in an industry or a long record of successes in various companies there no is reason why these skills may not be transferred to a newly established company. It is quite possible that the newly established company gives better value than established companies and is more open minded. Providing companies are only paid when a service / goods are delivered, the risk to the tax payer is minimal or nil .

Your description of theft is slightly odd . With all the various contact approval procedures in place , unless you are suggesting that various civil servants are failing to undertake their duties correctly, we can be satisfied that contracts are awarded to those best suited to provide value for money.

Any organisation is at liberty to make a donation to a political party. These are simply donations and would have no impact on contracts being awarded.

You don’t sign contracts with someone’s reputation you sign with a company of financial standing and proven record or who do you chase when things go wrong. Certainly not a worthless company.

No due diligence was possible so it could not be carried out that is fact.

If these individuals were so amazingly good why do they not exist and work in the current crop of suppliers? They would surely be leader of their industry with such valuable knowledge and experience.

What could possibly be the reason for setting up a new company if they are so immersed in the industry? Oh yes a nice tidy profit!

There is certainly no blame at the feet of civil servants on my part it is purely an override situation by the government. It happens and it’s wrong on such a scale,

Don’t embarrass yourself saying that political donations make no difference. Whichever side of the fence you sit money talks as we all know.
