Nine months of Johnson exit betting turbulence – politicalbetting.com
One of the liveliest political betting markets over the last few months has been on which year Johnson will finally cease to be Prime Minister. As can be seen things have moved sharply and there is is at the moment no real consensus about went when he is going to go go.

I see this as simply compensation for his continued presence - I'd be happy to lose my 'Johnson makes it to next year' bonus
We probably should've known that presidency would end with ketchup dripping down a wall, but then, Heinz sight is 2020...
Has quantum mechanics now taken over the thread header too?
Raab is introducing the Bill of Rights which will give him some big momentum. I think its a bill ordinary tories will like.
Problem? E&W has become a marginal on his watch.
He’s also a Brexiteer which is why he loses and Hunt holds on easily.
(For a while, I’ve thought Conference 2023 as to when he’d be replaced, maybe that’s now a little late)
I'm warming to cock-goblin and twat-waffle as new insults.
It’s terrible, it’s got so much ambiguity in it, and seems desperate to not acknowledge the ECHR may have some excellent rulings in the past.
‘You cock juggling thunder twat’
I’m in favour of the right to protest yet his protests go too far on occasions.
I’ve seen him harass MPs having drinks/food with their families.
No sugar coating it, you can’t change us.
Maybe but that does not mean ordinary tories will not like it...
They are sitting on their hands because the current government favour high taxes, big government, over regulation and green dogma.

Respondents not convinced.
The grid points to some potentially underused options, too, like wank-lord.
What a fantastic resource, thanks for sharing.
Harassing their families, or protestesting their house is past the line though.
Those working or going about their lawful business in the vicinity of Parliament, on the other hand, have a right to work free of harrasment or intimidation.
As usual, it comes down to “don’t be a dick”.
Having said that, noise pollution rules do exist, a business can require a licence or even consent from the Council to play music outside, so if he's using electronic equipment to magnify his voice I can see that possibly being an issue.
If he simply uses his own voice then there shouldn't be any restrictions. Even if that means Brian Blessed would be the best protestor ever.
Confiscating audio amplifiers sounds like a reasonable compromise in this case, he can still protest with his voice.
I would absolutely throw the book at the activists running onto motorways or airport runways though. That’s how innocent people end up killed or injured, and they could be charged with endangering life.
Then again walked out the front at CDG, past the huge taxi queue and straight into an Uber. Arrived in zero minutes.
Holiday in August? Paris if you must but the Ile de Re is where the Parisians go.
May would have gone much, much sooner if "the men in grey suits" actually existed, or Cabinet resignations led to PM resignations.
BTW is this just a record of PB Scots Nats supporting insults or are others included?
Laughable that @MISTY focuses on the lack of true neoliberal policies as the reason why nice, comfortable, affluent, socially-liberal, erstwhile Tory voters in the leafy home counties are sitting on their hands rather than voting for this omnishambles of a government led by a lazy lying shit.
Lurch to the right @MISTY - that'll fix it!

You FUDHY are a very odd little man. Do you have a neat little moustache, intimacy issues and a desire for Lebensraum?
The best protest is argument, organisation and votes.
Ruling out indyref2 is a mild response
How is it possible to be so distanced from the better angels of our nature?

The LDs already control the local council with Residents' groups
It was not a result of the likes of Mr Bray.
Enjoying being boiled like a frog?
After the Prince Charles debacle an aide to the PM said he had limited time to spend on “humouring men in tights.”

Being as bad/worse than the French is treasonous talk.

You said 'both would lose their seats on current polling'
That is inaccurate. Hunt would not lose his seat based on current polling. Facts are facts.
Boris should go, but our unelected monarchs have no role to play in overriding policies that Parliament has approved. Charles should butt out of politics, if he doesn't then hopefully he'll be removed from office like the original Charles - although he should be retired rather than reaching the same grizzly fate.
Angela Rayner says it's ironic that the Speaker has to intervene to stop the "mob" of Conservative MPs shouting her down in the House of Commons, while the government brings in a law to stop people noisily protesting against them outside.

So what.
If you accept that NI has the right under certain conditions to vote for "independence" then you must support Scotland's right also.
Talk about "inappropriate"! Sounds more like "actionable" to me - on the part of the mom.
For avoidance of doubt, everyone who did not vote, or was ineligible to vote, are counted in the anti Conservative column. That’s how it works, isn’t it?
The Scottish generation born in Ref year of 2014 is still in primary school. Give them a chance.
