Gosh. Look how far Boris Johnson is down the ranking for Tory activists pic.twitter.com/ZpaDVZvczP — Sam Coates Sky (@SamCoatesSky) July 4, 2017 ConservativeHome have released their latest cabinet league table based on the votes of readers of Tory members on ConHome. Whilst the most eye catching thing might be Mrs May’s spectacular record breaking fall from grace, for me it is the score achieved by Boris. With the seriousness of Brexit in both securing a good deal and the post…

Revenge is a Ferrero Rocher best served cold. Boris Johnson mocks Theresa May's leather 'lederhosen'. Gags in full: https://t.co/Te1nAx3Avw — Paul Waugh MP (@paulwaugh) December 13, 2016 Paul Waugh writes on HuffPost about tonight’s reception at Lancaster House, “In front of hundreds of diplomats from around the globe, he made a typically maverick speech hailing Brexit, while teased the PM on everything from foreign student numbers to Nigel Farage’s links with the US and even Heathrow’s third runway. But after…

Betting on will Boris Johnson still be Foreign Secretary of the 1st of January 2018

Betting on will Boris Johnson still be Foreign Secretary of the 1st of January 2018

Boris Johnson’s desire to be Prime Minister is why he will stay & try to make a success of being Foreign Secretary while Mrs May cannot sack him without causing problems for herself. William Hill have a market up on whether Boris Johnson will still be Foreign Secretary on the 1st of January 2018. I think despite the events of the summer when Michael Gove’s transformation into the lovechild of Frank Underwood and Niccolò Machiavelli fatally damaged Boris Johnson’s chances…

New entrant Ed Balls moves immediately to 3rd place in latest YouGov favourability ratings

Both Theresa May & Corbyn see drops Here they are – the latest YouGov favourability ratings, the polling where the site has chosen who/what should be included. The first time we did this was in August and since then all the UK politicians have seen net drops. Ed Balls, included after his Strictly successes, was not part of the August list. In the summer TMay was still enjoying her honeymoon and had a net +12%. That’s now down to +5%…

Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his country for his career. Super story by @ShippersUnbound pic.twitter.com/P20Z44xBUh — TSE (@TSEofPB) October 15, 2016 Boris wrote that Brexit could lead to economic shock, Scottish Independence, and Russian aggression 2 days before he backed Brexit. For the last few years I generally kept on advocating that Boris should be laid for the Tory leadership, that advice isn’t going to change for the next Tory leadership contest. It will…

After being a polling phenomenon Boris Johnson joins the negative ratings club

After being a polling phenomenon Boris Johnson joins the negative ratings club

Being a cabinet minister means he’s much less in the limelight One of the PB YouGov Favourability Ratings that hasn’t attracted much attention is that for the former longstanding favourite to succeed Cameron, the ex-Mayor and current Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson. He recorded a net minus 5 which wasn’t so bad compared with the other politicians in the list but significantly means he’s now in negative territory. Only his boss of UK politicians in the list, Theresa May,is viewed more…

Boris still wants to be PM, so he’ll try and make a success of his current role. Ladbrokes have a market up on when Boris Johnson’s tenure as Foreign Secretary will end. Like many I suspect Boris thought his ambition to be Prime Minister was over after Michael Gove’s transformation into Frank Underwood, but Gove is now looking more like Frank Spencer than Frank Underwood whilst Boris is now Foreign Secretary. Whilst I know there has been some incredulity from…
