    There hasn’t been much evidence of Scottish voters looking towards Labour?

    There's still a sizable amount of Scottish Labour voters, particularly in older age groups. Probably the group that needs won over the most this time

    Can't agree with any of this, really.

    He got elected on the back of the Brexit ticket and that led to him having a handsome majority.

    The circumstances leading into the next election would be VERY different.

    Even taking certain circumstances into account that weren't necessarily his fault - covid, then what looks like being a subsequent global financial crisis will have meant a very difficult few years for people whilst he has been in charge.

    I think his departure would be a godsend to the Tories, although it might be worth holding onto him to soak up a bit of grief whilst we go through the next spell of financial turmoil before appointing someone new in time for a "fresh approach" to the next election.

    He's toxic I'm afraid, and he's being saved to an extent by the opposition being as pish as they are.
    The cost of living /inflation thing is an issue for every government in the world.

    Not sure we can lay the blame on Boris or the Uk gov for it and I dread to think what Labours plans would be. They’re useless with money in the good times, let alone the bad!!

    True inflation would be huge anyway, but brexit has added a % point

    Labour didn't spend £10billion on buying useless PPE from their friends, or give £4billion away in fraudulent furlough claims. Nor did they oversee a Brexit which resulted in the UK suffering an annual drop of £100billion in GDP.

    Mark Steel summarising all those Tory MP's resignation letters

    It has been an honour and a privilege, to work for and alongside the person I now accept has all along been a lying, cheating reckless sociopath. It is with sadness I can no longer work with this madman.

    Stunning that some people still won't say brexit was bad, never mind one of the worst self inflicted moves a nation has done to itself.

    Gdp will be hammered for decades, inflation higher than it would be, pound weaker which increases fuel prices, which increases inflation and repeat..

    It’s nothing more than gaslighting to say otherwise.

    They are rats leaving a sinking ship, why has it taken until now for them to do something. Tory MPs don't have a conscience, just self interest

    Resignations left, right and centre. The point of no return has almost certainly been reached.

    The primary function of the Conversative Party is to maintain the rule of the Conservative Party and, by extension, the political and upper class they support (i.e. socialism for the rich). Johnson is prioritising himself and refusing to allow this to happen which is why they're all losing their ****.

    Point still stands.

    He was hugely popular when first elected. He still is to a certain degree, with the public.

    It’s why Labour and you guys are so pleased to see the back of him. He was likely to lead the Conservatives to another landslide and Starmer wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

    You're absolutely wrong on how popular your leader is with the public!!!

    The ONLY people who can honestly still be supporting Boris must be Independence supporters who see the increasing division and blunder this idiot is causing and want it to continue.

    Nobody who understands politics at any level can say with any honesty that they think he's doing, or has done, a good job.

    Seeing people suggesting he's 'done well on the big things' is equal parts hilarious and sickening. He's a criminal who is responsible for the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of people, who has shattered the economy with his Brexit activities (or lackthereof) and who has made us a laughing stock and paraiah nation with the clear intent to violate international law.

    Surely there's a remote island somewhere where Boris and his supporters can be shipped off to while the rest of us try and pick up the ****ing pieces.
    It's hard to stitch my own back with these shaky hands
    But even harder to accept the scars you left were planned

    How?

    Do a google search on gaslighting. I’ve just done it and in no way can you attribute that to me.

    To say otherwise is hugely insulting and totally uncalled for.

    Made it easy for you….

    Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition

    Douglas Ross now says Johnson should go. I've lost count of how many times he has changed his mind about Johnson's leadership since January. And yet we're not allowed to have another referendum because we've possibly changed our minds?

    Nah.

    Labour know they can’t beat Boris.

    Check the glee on their faces just now, they can’t believe their luck.

    They don’t stand a chance against him and are 100% reliant on him being forced out.

    I know I can’t prove this, but I still think he is popular through the country. It’s only the media that’s really turned against him.

    It’s not like any of you guys ever liked him so it doesn’t really matter what he does.

    If there was a general election tomorrow, with Boris at the helm, he’d still be PM on Thursday.
    Are you talking about Boris Becker or Boris Johnson?

    You can’t seriously be arguing that after all that’s gone on over the past few years that it’s only the media that aren’t best pleased with Boris. The public are in actual outrage at him and rightly so.

    If his corrupt tory chums starting to turn on him (on top of everything else) doesn’t suggest anything negative to you in that regard then I think you’re right… it doesn’t really matter what he does.

    I kind of hope you’re at the wind-up though.

    I think on the important stuff - Brexit, Covid, Ukraine - he’s been excellent.

    I like his vision for the future and his enthusiasm ... He wasn’t like other politicians in that he could say things we didn’t like to hear but would accept them from him.
    Right.

    If you don’t like the ridiculous things he’s posting about Boris Johnson then you might as well burn all the stuff you do enjoy from writers you respect.

    Something like that.

    Yeah, We can all google “which country has lowest inflation” just to try and make a point.

    If you’re an economist and want to put some meat on the bones and explain the intricacies of the Indian economy, go right ahead.

    Otherwise, what point are you making?
