Will Boris Johnson be re-elected as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom with a new Conservative government if a general election is held in 2024? Or will it go to Keir Starmer become PM? maybe someone else?

Will Scotland and Wales still be speaking to us? Or will Northern Ireland be exploding and on fire again? And how much of the country will be left standing and open for business by then after COVID and Brexit?

Let's make our American cousins suffer and talk about our embarrassing and ridiculous domestic situation for a bit! Let's here it for Britain! :D

Tbh, I find it all so depressing I've virtually stopped watching the news. Johnson caused thousands of unnecessary deaths but apparently that doesn't matter. A party full of self-serving liars with a media that is mostly rw or at best compliant. What could possibly go wrong(er) ?

I expect another tory government, the breakup of the UK, various crises and the virtual death of genuine democracy. On the plus side, we got our country back and made it safe for overt racism.

I have a hideous feeling Bozo may get a second term, unless Labour and the Lib Dems can do a deal, probably involving the Scot Nats as well. The rise of the Scot Nats has made it very hard for Labour to win a majority.

Thanks to Bozo, I shall never vote Conservative again. But there aren't enough people like me to keep him out, I'm afraid.

Yes, we are doomed to an eternal winter of Tory Rule :(

I have a feeling that the Tories will be in power for the foreseeable future. Another 10-years at least.
Labour are still disjointed and an ineffective opposition albeit the only viable one currently.

In 2019, Johnson's Tories won just over 42% of the vote; Labour won 32% of the vote yet the Tories have a massive of 160 more seats than Labour (app 360 to 200)
So, 58% voted against the Tories but are not represented

The UK desperately needs Proportional Representation but Labour just voted against it at their conference (Mainly because of the mass Union votes)

I feel disenfranchised; I don't vote for anyone, I just vote against the Tories.

I'd put my money on the tories replacing him by then. The Telegraph, Times and Mail will make hay for a few weeks on his legendary incompetence and some other ghoul will be in place about a year before the next GE.

Well it looks like the papers have had enough of Boris and all the examples of Tory corruption that they've all known about and even encouraged for years are suddenly a very pressing concern. Looking forward to Gove taking over and this story vanishing back into the void.

Labour are ahead in the polls for the first time in years because for roughly a week the media have been doing something like their jobs. Just imagine if they had scrutinised the Tories in the run up to the election in 2019. Or hadn't exclusively attacked the leader of the opposition or five years of solid mania. We might currently have government run by the man who blocked the current Labour leader from taking a lucrative second job.

Notice, though, that the Tories twice causing the avoidable deaths of tens of thousands of Britons in a single decade has still to feature in the press to any serious extent.

I'm afraid it will take a lot more than this to dislodge Bozo.

I have nothing against MPs having second jobs, considering that their employment as MPs is precarious (they can be chucked out by the electorate at the next election). So keeping another line of work ticking over in the background should be allowed I think, so long as it does not prevent them carrying out the duties as an MP.

I think the chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life has it about right, in wanting to forbid nebulous jobs such as "consulting" which can be code for lobbying.

The worst aspect of this was Bozo improperly using a government whipped vote to try to abolish the internal scrutiny process in the House of the Commons, when this process is nothing to do with the government but is jointly agreed by members of the House. And even worse, to do so to try to get rid of the commissioner who has investigated him.

Johnson's days are looking numbered all the papers apart from his ex employer The Telegraph have turned against him.

And, it looks like we have a Jennifer Arcuri diary/book coming out which appears to say that Johnson agreed to help her company in return for sex.
