I think it was after. There is nothing stopping a Catholic becoming PM though. So good news for Jacob Rees-Mogg

You say that but it never actually happens. Tony Blair put of converting to Catholicism until after he left office even though the rest of his family were Catholic. Johnson was a Catholic but converted to Anglicism and yet appears to be bringing up his kid Catholic?

There's nothing stopping Hibs winning the Champions League next season.

A few years ago I would have said Boris Johnson had as much chance of becoming PM as we had of winning the champions league. Or Trump had of becoming President. Munich in May 2022, here we come .

I believe it is now possible for a Catholic to be PM.

The issue surrounds advising on matters relating to the Church of England and a potential conflict of interest. My understanding is a Catholic PM would see the Lord Chancellor act on his behalf on such issues. It's largely a procedural issue rather than a societal one albeit that wasn't always the case.

Disraeli and Thatcher both converted from Judaism and Methodism respectively some time before taking office as it appears has Johnson from Catholicism. It wasn't an issue for Brown and the Presbyterian Church of Scotland is protected in various acts of law.

The PM no longer advises the monarch on Church of England matters, he just delivers the decisions taken elsewhere.. I think it was Brown who introduced that.

It seems that Johnson only converted so someone would alibi him when he wants to attend parties in Perugia.

Is there not an archaic law banning that?

For starters he needs to quarantine for 14 days. Not that it will make any difference because he is never seen anyway.

A Catholic can't be King or Queen - that's probably bad enough.

I’d eliminate the discrimination there by introducing legislation making everybody ineligible to be King or Queen.

Johnson not lying today at PMQs. He didn't understand the first few questions Starmer asked him, so just waffled back on a totally unrelated subject. He seemed delighted to have got the better of Starmer.

He is literally (in the proper sense of the word) an actual Muppet.

My favourite bit was Boris answering a question from a particularly hard looking DUP MP with a tache, think his names Sammy Wilson. The camera kept panning to Wilson, who was just staring at Boris (who was asking 'the right honourable members party to support the bill'), with that 'im going to see you outside and rip off your head' expression. The DUP must be confused; it must be like living with an abusive partner who you hate but you just cant leave.

Hancock was asked how many of the population need to download the app for it to be effective. His answer was there is no number the more the better.
Go out and buy an up to date phone.
Half an hour later Leitch is on and states 15% minimum for it to start being effective.
Hancock really is a stuttering stammering halfwit.
