I think Boris is in big trouble here

Sky News reporting massive gains for Sir Kier

Very low turnout, Libbies gone into 1/2. Is this the beginning of the end for Boris?

Boris Gone Soon.

Soon to be replaced by Rishi Soon Axed.

A great victory for Jezza

With two and a half years to the next election MPs will be thinking of saving their seats. Boris has outlived his purpose with Brexit done. He’s a goner.

Sunak, a smooth operator will come in and steady the ship

Sunak is only 5’6. A laughing stock. Mogg is the man.

There won’t be a party in downing st until Johnson’s going-away

Johnson will prove difficult to spanner out. It is no foregone conclusion. The red wall and marginal seat Tory MPs will need to be brave enough to send a letter.

People are trying to paint it as an anti brexit vote, or an anti labour vote (bitterly disappointed gammon mostly) or as a one off warning shot, or a vote against a Tory candidate parachuted in from Birmingham, but whilst all play a part, it seems to be mostly anti Johnson.

People are just sick of him

He is a deeply unpleasant person, but he looks absolutely awful.

he looks 10 years older than this time last year
