On a day when a poll had 59% saying Johnson’s “untrustworthy” the betting money edges to an earlier departure – politicalbetting.com
There has been quite a lot of activity on the Boris Johnson exit date betting markets and we’ve seen over the past couple of days 2021 being the year of his going move from an 8% chance to tonight a 21% one.

a) the electorate vote him out
b) the Party turns on him when will only happen when he looks like a loser AND someone else looks like a winner.
c) he goes on his own terms and watches helplessly as his reputation is destroyed by his ungrateful successors.
“If who funded it isn’t a problem, why don’t you just say who funded it then?” Is what is feeding the media, neither Dom or Labour prolonging this now, just the conservative Party itself.
From India we are seeing truly tragic images, over three thousand a day known deaths and rising fast. Images on our screens of funeral pyres because the crematoriums are overloaded and hospitals are turning the sick away because they have no oxygen. 😢
In the European Union we see leaders one month on still arguing over who gets to sit in the big chair for a photo opportunity. Meanwhile two and a half thousand people a day are dying from Covid.
In the USA Biden is taking this seriously, but still over 600 daily deaths and running into major resistance by antivaxxers.
In the UK the pandemic is over, deaths have effectively stopped. So lets squabble over wallpaper the taxpayer hasn't been charged for and what someone may or may not have said in temper eight months ago.
Some people have really lost their moral compass! We should be asking big questions like how can we help the likes of India out now that we've helped ourselves, not this myopic nonsense.
I shall go to bed before we have any more shocks.

Elsewhere I expect the results on May 6th to be a mixed bag, some Tory losses in the county elections after the high point of 2017 but balanced by some Tory gains in the district elections where there is still a sizeable UKIP vote to squeeze from 2016.
In Remain heavy London and Scotland the Tories are likely to do less well but in Brexit voting Wales they should also make gains
Sorry been out

No.
Will she be getting vaccinated?
It's not for me.
She then told me her father in law had been hospitalized for three months with Covid.

To give you an example of this influence, I think Sunak has pushed Corporation Tax up because the US wanted us to. Obviously I can't prove that because obviously it didn't happen in public. I also can't see any justification for us increasing our Trident warhead count other than as a bung to Uncle Sam. I don't like it, and I'm looking forward to that influence waning, though I understand that process alarms some people.
And what will you do if she gets covid and is off sick for three months herself ?
Thousands of people a day are dying in the EU, thousands of people a day in India and its getting worse fast - this looks like being one of the worst humanitarian crises in all time and we could be helping - I know the country has sent oxygen to India but we should be grilling as to what more can be done if anything.
People pretend to care about humanitarian crises when they stroke their own ego banging on about 0.7% but unfolding before our eyes is one of the worst crises I ever recall seeing, some of the most heartbreaking images we've seen, and all anyone wants to talk about is wallpaper and words said in a meeting eight months ago.
Give me a break. Lets never hear from any of these imposters how much they care about humanitarianism ever again.
But that doesn't mean that the places exerting those influences are morally equatable. And therefore, if one must be within one and not the other, the less morally dubious one, even if hardly ideal, is a far better option even if the other might well offer better practical arrangements.
But to expect a national news Chanel to have that sort of balance, is that how it should work?
Every single UK daily led with this non story yesterday regardless of their bias, are you saying they were wrong as well?
Blair is rebuilding his reputation but was wildly disliked for quite some time, if Boris has a gut level desire to 'beat' him, I'd bet it would be around leaving office better liked and remaining so, rather than beat his tenure in office. Thatcher is better remembered than Salisbury after all (Ok, granted, time is a factor there too).
Edit: Incidentally, Boris goes past Eden on Friday.
This is going to run and run
He'll probably try to shag Eve while he's there.
There's probably some needy insecurity underlying it.
When the world is in the midst of one of the worst humanitarian crises ever, we shouldn't just become innoculated to it. Especially when we're in the fortunate position to be getting out of crisis mode, the responsible thing to do is to try and help the less fortunate. How much CPAP machinery etc did we buy for the pandemic that we no longer need but others desperately do? These sort of questions should be getting asked.
If this was an earthquake or other and thousands a day were dying from its aftermath we'd be getting more of a response than we're seeing. Yet people claim they care about this stuff when it comes to Budget Day, when it comes to the real world news they don't.
Yeah, he knows all about the slow burn does Starmer....

And willing to bet he craps a damn sight less than Boris. And if he does occasionally do it on the rug (don't they take the critter outside regularly?) well, reckon its only after Boris & Carrie have been chewing on it.
More and more, my views are aligning with the daily mail. Help!

Corruption.
Just inferred you preferred "Charles" cause that's your PB moniker.
For all we know, your REAL name is Raoul . . .
Won’t be hiding any nuts in there.
Plenty more questions, not just how much did the paper leading the pack pay Cummings?
And why is The Mail trying to destroy Boris and the careers of hundreds of Conservative councillors, who will represent the values and Brexit the Mail campaigns for?
Though personally always pegged him as a left-wing Bukharinite with serious Menshevik tendencies . . .
I need to keep up!
No No no. Paint already dried. That’s over the top. That’s silly exaggeration.
This is starmer

He was given an award by Theresa May's government in 2017 and 2018
He made a donation to Theresa May's constituency office.
He gave £100,000 to the anti-Brexit Stronger In campaign.
Nothing awarded to him by the pro-Brexit Johnson government on that list.
Is that what you've got?
My car already does that at any speed. It beeps at me if I take my hands off the wheel for more than a few seconds, but it otherwise effectively drives itself on that motorway.
I assume it’s legal??
Is this is dummy swerve and a later edition has an absolute bombshell?
If you wish to care to explain the relevance of stuff done by Theresa May and donations to Theresa May's office and the Remain campaign she backed then be my guest. I've made my opinion on her abundantly clear in the past.
Not sure what relevance of any of that to today. "Look this man once donated to the campaign Boris was running against". Ooh big story.

He lies when he doesn’t even need to. It’s ridiculous. Silly man.
But I would not for one second call him trustworthy. He's a politician and do you know how to tell when a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.
I wouldn't call any PM we have had in my life "trustworthy". Every single one of them obfuscates, spins and does whatever they can. It's what we expect from politicians.
It drives itself, on the motorway.
The manufacturer includes a sensor to stop me removing my hands and reading the paper, but only because it would presumably be illegal technology otherwise?
