- ta1243 4y agoBoris Johnson is a backbench MP who rarely turns up for work
- ben_w 4y agoUnfortunately and remarkably — even when combined with "repeatedly lost jobs due to dishonesty" — that hasn't been sufficient for him to be rendered politically irrelevant.
- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoHe seems to be the only Tory politician that has any charisma and the party doesn't appear to have any workable ideas as their previous 12 years in power haven't shown them to be effective.
- ben_w 4y agoYeeeees. Rewatching HIGNFY recently, and Johnson somehow (to my introspective horror) managed to come across positively even when he was squirming at Ian Hislop asking about the audio recording of Johnson conspiring to assault a journalist. I half-remember a phrase, but not where from: "people don't remember what you said, just how you made them feel".
- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoI know at least one person that voted Conservative because Johnson made him laugh on HIGNFY. If only he could have been kept as a media personality and not been given power.
- nprateem 4y agoA much politer description than I was thinking of.
- rjsw 4y agoNo different to when he was Prime Minister. There was a front page headline "PM turns up for meeting" in the Metro [1], a newspaper that tries to be politically neutral. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(British_newspaper) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(British_newspaper)
- Lutger 4y agoHe doesn't care about the billions they lose because of Brexit either, or about all the UK expats that now need to leave their cosy retirement homes in Spain and France. Boris cares mostly about Boris. Some people do care though, and most of those people vote. Anyway, Boris doesn't matter anymore.
