Boris Johnson- Prime Minister (Vol. 7)

[Tuna]

I suspect Boris in a decent fitting suit and his hair sorted out would look like a cross between an East-end thug and an extra from The Office.

[Chris Stott]

Boris is one of those people who’d still look like they’d slept in their clothes if he was wearing a perfectly cut handmade suit.

Macron would likely still look good in a cheap pair of jeans and an unironed t shirt.

[Condi]

What are people's opinion of his attempts to renegotiate the NI protocol?

Something he said was the easiest deal ever and signed less than 7 months ago. The practical implications were obvious and yet secondary to "Getting Brexit done". Yet another case of Boris saying whatever he thinks people want to hear with little consideration of how it will actually play out in practice? If he thinks that it will be easy or even possible to get the EU to change their mind then he's deluded.

Which one would you want to go for a pint with?

EFA luckily he is a great politician with the ideologies of the people first over any self interests he might have in making a st tonne of money.

Good god, neither of them... they are both relics from a class system that should have been put to sleep decades ago.

Just to quote myself...

I see Boris has been making comments on it in Cornwall. Of course it's all the EU's misunderstanding, and nothing at all to do with the agreement he signed. And despite being told what it would mean for NI, he now says it is important the UK government upholds the territorial integrity of UK, having signed away exactly that about 12 months ago.

Boris said:

"I think that to be fair there's quite a lot of misunderstanding around the EU about the situation in Northern Ireland, the balance of the Good Friday Agreement, the peace process. I was just in a gentle way getting across what that means and I think that we'll have some pragmatic solutions.

And if we don't then I think that what our friends have also understood is that it's the prime duty of the UK government to uphold the territorial integrity of the United Kingdom and that is what we're going to do and we'll do whatever it takes to ensure that.

He'll do "whatever it takes" except he sold NI down the river to "Get Brexit done".

He will sell anyone down the river to get a result.

Macron in his 25 year old investment banker outfit. It’s all part of the branding.

I'm glad someone else noticed. He's about 1 inch shy of putting jam on his Magnanni's and inviting his trousers down for tea.

The bigger image problem both BJ and Macron have has, would you rather 1 round your daughter or the other around your mum. I think Macron has a thing for big knickers myself.

It probably fitted him before he lost lots of weight.

Has he lost height too ? I'm pretty sure Carrie could have put a couple of staples in his trouser hems if he could be bothered to make an effort.

He's just a scruff. Nothing to do with "branding".

Yes didn't make much of an effort, his trousers too short then, even when him and David Cameron used to go trashing restaurants and ruining family businesses for his own gratification. Man of the people..

I didn't know that Suggs went to Oxford. Every day is a school day.

A minute ago, the trousers were too long???

Maybe he doesn't give a st about sartorial elegance? Maybe Macron should take note? Especially given the French problems with a tanking economy, racism, corruption etc?

Arguably BJ might be better going with the same tailor as Merkel and rocking North Korean chic but that would generate "grŕrrrr's" too. Right?

Well spotted.

They look more like New Romantics though IMO. Spandau Boris .

That photo pretty much sums up what’s wrong with the Tory party.

As long as someone said, there's no need for any investigations.

Just one so far, i think there are 20 more. I'm sure Boris knew nothing about it, probably shagging his secretary.

''High Court rules Michael Gove broke the law by giving a contract to a communications agency run by long time associates of him and Dominic Cummings.''

''P14 Medical, run by a Tory councillor and donor, was awarded £276m in PPE contracts.
Meller Designs, run by David Meller a large Tory donor and trustee of the rightwing lobby group Policy Exchange, was given more than £160m in PPE contracts.
Luxe Lifestyle was awarded a £26m contract despite appearing to be insolvent and without any employees.
And Clandeboye Agencies whose registered trade on Companies House is “wholesale of sugar, chocolate and sugar confectionery” was awarded £108m in PPE contracts (see page 73 and following). We should say that the Government says Clandeboye was not in the VIP lane – but its own internal documents tell a different story.''

Could say France is actually more open than the UK....
