‘The book, The Right to Rule, describes how Johnson, an isolated figure on the back benches who had failed to build up a substantial support base, was “scathing” in private about the calibre of those MPs who did back him.
“They were political offcuts – ‘The Munsters’, as Johnson would joke, in reference to the TV show featuring Frankenstein and other misshapen ghouls,” Riley-Smith wrote. “He even hummed the Addams Family theme tune when discussing them, according to two sources: ‘Duddle-der-der, click-click, duddle-der-der, click-click’
At times the humour was darker. ‘I’ve cornered the market in sex pests,’ he joked once, according to one source’
hmmm - ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?

Using and discarding people has been his MO for his whole life and was completely predicable. More fool the people who thought he would behave differently in senior office.

It is obvious to anyone who has met the type what he is. If you fall for it you deserve everything you get.

Every single one of his mutant supporters in Parliament (and the people who voted for him) will be thinking "ho ho, how embarrassing for those fools he looks down on! I'm glad I really had his respect".

It's politics so I suspect in fact they'll be thinking never liked the aunt but at least he helped me advance my agenda in some manner. They're all using each other in some manner.

They're all the same eh? No ethical responsibility for you then for your part in putting these people in power then, I guess!

so which one of the Addams Family was Nadine? Not Morticia fo’ sure.
quite looking forward to her book for a good laugh - editors and lawyers working hard - but will have to find out how to get a copy without buying one.

God you wouldn't envy them. Trying to make sense of 400 pages of bitter, garbled nonsense about Johnson the handsome statesman not being given a chance by the ungrateful British public, each leaf smeared with mascara tears and perfumed with the overpowering stench of gin.

He's so bad at stuff. An oven ready deal that you pop in the microwave. Calling his allies the Munsters while humming the tune to the Addams family.
He should really be in Gaol for these gaffes.

Threep I'm quite happy to have my MP representing my interests but fully appreciate that he will also have his own agenda in terms of other groups within the constituency and also in terms of his own advancement.
On a separate note you've never used one of your colleagues to try and get ahead at work?

I mean I've given juniors work, is that what you mean? Or do you mean have a I fvcked someone over in the hope that it would somehow advance my career? If the latter, no. Jesus.

Boris is a dickhead and that he was ever PM is a fvcking disgrace of which the electorate should be deeply ashamed. Yes, vote shaming is OK. We would have been much better off under Corbyn.

The problem is that a certain few people falling for it meant we all got the resulting shit, and more, because without him, Truss would never have been PM (to name but one consequence of him having any influence). Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe didn't deserve the consequences of Johnson being Foreign Sec.

I KNOW THAT IF BORIS JOHNSON EVER MET ME THE GREAT MAN WOULD RESPECT ME FOR VOTING FOR HIM AND FOR SUPPORTING HIM AND HE DEFINITELY WOULDN’T HAVE COMPLETE CONTEMPT FOR ME THAT IS JUST NOT THE KIND OF MAN I IMAGINE HIM TO BE SO I WILL DEFINITELY THIS STORY!!

Good for you Threep which means you join me as that rare breed in any job in the City who won't throw colleagues under multiple buses if they think it will help them.

The Munsters was ace, far superior to the Addams Family IMHO. Yvonne de Carlo was not only a great actress, but actually very beautiful in her day.

Suspect that moral edifice you've constructed for yourself to justify your appalling views and actions is a little shakier than you think. The number of decent people I've met and worked with in the City far exceeds the number of proper Tories.

You've been lucky then as I've unfortunately worked with some utter aunts who make some politicians look positively delightful.

Also of course not, but I have definitely done it because they were a total pain to work with. I think this is fine, for the greater good etc.

I was
discussingranting about Johnson with my mother the other day who seemed genuinely surprised that I didn’t like him or rate him and that I thought he had damaged the country. Baffling from an otherwise smart woman whose no nonsense approach to life I have always admired.0

"all the sex pests are supporting me."
Only the most po-faced lefties would not find this funny. Classic Bojo.
He will be missed.

It would be funny if it wasn't true. What's actually funny in that regard was that it ended up being his support for the sexpests that finally brought him down.
