And stay away.

No, Boris is brilliant. He reminds us how corrupt the Tories are.
You could have said go forth any multiply boris but he has already done so.

... an observation that will apply before and after the 2024 election. Come Christmas 2024 Starmer will be likely the most embattled ever of British Prime Ministers, as Labour tear themselves apart, Muslim-identifed MPs direct their bile into civilised society, while the opposition lick their wounds into venom
More votes will be cast AGAINST Labour by a country mile
The Tories had to wait until he was sober.
But no time for a hair cut
Didn't look all that sober.
And tea total wishy washy is a better PM .

1979 happened, and they've finally run out of things to sell off.

Except their influence, and their souls.
They could havest the organs of prisoners, immigrants, ethnic minorities, the working classes and make big bucks on the international black market - fortunately they don't seem to have had this idea, unlike the Chinese communist party 😂
Labour took what cons had started and finished it. they systematically sold off NHS piece meal under Majors community care act before 2014 and Blair owns much of it.
They still have the army to sell to the Chinese

Isn't he on perpetual holiday, or being paid vast amounts for BS articles in the Daily Hate or 'back of the envelope' speeches to inebriated corporate gatherings in the Cayman Islands? He unsurprisingly avoided being interviewed by Andrew Neil at the last election. This blubber-faced loon has absolutely zilch political currency and, like the appalling Truss, frankly deserves to be permanently banned from the Westminster Estate for the state the UK is in currently.

Sounds like trump
Boris looks really raddled and sounds more crazy than ever. .
That's what I love about him
Pathetic sums it up.
Boris Johnson used to be the Conservative Party's best asset; now he's a reminder of why not to vote for them.
I'm honestly surprised they let him out.
Nurse fell asleep.
When the Lib Dem vote was huge but thinly spread from 1983-2010 enormous majorities (with the exception of 1992 and 2010) were enjoyed by first the Tories and then Labour on little more than 40% of the vote. In fact such was the even split in 2005 that Labour still had a 66 seat majority on barely 35% of the vote. Now that Reform is set to take a huge chunk, so we now have 4 not 3 parties scrapping for millions of votes, the glaring inadequacy of FPTP is brought into even sharper relief with, for once, the Tories being the major casualty. As a lifelong Tory loather, this is potentially the ‘just deserts’ most delicious moment of schadenfreude of my entire life.
Hear hear! Me too 🙂🙂
Well put.
So you wanted UKIP to get 10% of the seats ?
@@nifralo2752 my wants and yours are irrelevant. You don’t perpetuate a system that shuts out millions of voters. Yes I loathe Reform but they should get seats which reflect their vote. Tomorrow huge numbers of Green supporters will vote Labour or Lib Dem to keep the Tories out. Under PR they could actually vote for themselves, guilt free, for the first time ever. PR bring it on
It's laughable ,when Johnson says Labour will undo all the good things we have done. Bet he couldn't name any of them.
The same man who hid from an interview with Andrew Neil and hid in a fridge Johnson is absolutely Pathetic
Johnson has just made my mind up to vote Labour. Reminded me of party gate, PPE contracts for "Tory" donors and many other things!
Boris: the oaf in chief decides to bring back his lies and his dishonesty. Just reminds us why the Tories themselves got shot of him.
Yep... two years ago 70 odd fellow Tories threw him on the fire... now they get him back. Beyond bad.
Sticking with your terminology Andrew. Boris is a super liar, super dishonest and super bad. Watch them become a super minority. For being super awful. Have a super day tomorrow.
Boris sounds just like trump!!

Boris holidayed with them before he became PM
@@philjameson292 Ok, I just thought he was anti Putin and friend of Zelensky.
Its all getting very confusing
@@msimms-lp5qw Boris was very pro Russian before the war started. I think that it was all of the Russian money that came into London in the 2000s when Boris was Mayor of London
I'm not sure why he supported Ukraine at the start of the war. Anyway it was only NLAWS that he provided, maybe to cover himself in his expectation that Ukraine lost
I wouldn't trust Boris as far as I could throw him
Byline Times have a good documentary on RUclips about Boris and the Lebedevs, check it out
It makes them look worse, paying a disgraced former PM.
Who was stabbed in the back to begin with.
By the guy they want us to vote for now.
Please, please, please stop using the term 'super majority' it's meaningless here. We are not the USA. The Conservatives suddenly complaining about the effects of FPTP seems a bit rich. But yes, given some of the results in terms of percentage of votes and numbers of seats we are getting in this election we really really need to switch to PR.
If we want to keep the idea of local constituency MPs, then AV is a better choice.
If we don't care about constituencies, then PR works.
Agreed. As if the 80 seat majority of the Tories , had prevented them from shutting down parliament and lying to the Queen.
We use the AMS process for the Scottish Parliament. You get 2 votes
1. One for the local constituency MSP using FPTP
2. Second for the party and the MSPs come off a party list and are divided up on % of votes
It seems to work ok and you still have a 1:1 link with your constituency MSP, however I have wondered if the list MSPs have an easier life as they don't have a constituency to look after
I look at it on the basis that you vote for your MP and also vote for your government of choice
I would prefer what I call FASPTP. First And Second Past The Post. It means what it says, every voter gets one vote. Both the first placed and second placed candidate in each constituency would be elected, and they would be equal in status in all senses. No complicated PL or STF or AV stuff.
In most constituencies this would end up representing around 70% of voters given the current balance. If as a constituent you have a problem you would like your MP to address, you can choose which one to talk to.
We would probably have to adjust the number of constituencies so that we don't end up with 1300 MPs. But that's totally feasible.
@@hammondpickle sounds like a doable solution and not one that tears the system up
Some brass kneck the tories warning about Labour on unlimited immigration - what planet are they on !
Neil knows there is no such thing as a super majority. Still batting for the Tories instead of reporting the news
It’s American, so Neil is going to worship it.
The phrase, "can't teach old dogs new tricks" comes to mind with this man.
Lost respect for him on that one
The vanity of Andrew Neil to have a portrait of himself in the background lol
All that money and he can't even purchase a good wig 😆
It’s called an “ego wall” - much favoured by those in the media and entertainment businesses and also popular in the kind of American corporate world that also likes wood panelling on the “c-suite” floor.
I thought it was Terry Wogan,,
@@davidpaterson2309or North Korea
Believe it or not, we got a letter from CCHQ. It was from Boris, complete with a colour photo, warning that Labour would damage the country. Well he`s the leading expert at that so maybe we should pay close attention. Errrmmm.Or not.
Thank goodness he's defunct now!
The cheek of it.
Boris Johnson - the Prime Minister who ran away from his own MPs, who ran away from his constituency party and who ran away from his voters.
I didn't know Worzel Gummidge was gonna be in the series finale of the Tories - Hilarious! 😂🤣
Old Boris the gonk should behind bars never mind endorsing the selfish Torie party
You know that if Sunak thinks bringing in Johnson is a good move, then tonight he may be promising to have Truss as Chancellor.
Rolling out Boris just shows how out of touch they are. Boris got in in the Get Brexit done because people were fed up of the whole thing. There followed a series of totally incompetent actions that showed he was not fit to govern and people wanted rid of him. They seemed to assume that Boris was as popular in 2024 as he was in 2019 which is simply not the case as unlike in 2019 now he has a record to be judged on and it's a very poor record.
"Super" majority? Not in the UK, not a thing! Is Neil senile???
Yes. Next question.
They are superidiots about to become a superminority, we can remind them of this from Friday onwards. Super eh. 😂😂😂
Labour had one in 97
@@KevenHutchinson-gt1nnthere is no such thing. If you have 51% of the seats you can pass any law. Unlike the USA where you need 66% to change the Constitution

@@ganrimmonim 👏
We get to call them a super minority of super idiots.
Toasted Tories.
New collective noun created overnight
A desperation of tories 😂😂😂😂😂
I love it!!!
Bloody good
Carry on Conservative 😂😂😂
If the right wing vote (which is nearly always a minority vote in this country) is going to be splintered between the Tories and Reform for the foreseeable then Labour needn’t be too worried about their own share of the vote this time.
Tories have benefitted from this aspect of FPTP for decades and no-one from the Times complained then.
Yes but the difference is that millions may vote for REFORM and left with a handfull of seats and then Lib Dems get 50 that is NOT FAIR in anyone's book !
Fed up with super-rich governing the country and totally out of touch with regular people. Current batch of Tories are totally unfit to represent ordinary people.
Really starmers wealth is around 15 million richer than Boris ..Abbott is a millionaire. Rayner is a millionaire Corbyn is a silver spoon born millionaire and the list of labour mp millionaire are endless so say something constructive...😂😂
Sounds like republicans in the usa
Johnson only came back because he heard there was a party
Andrew Neil - avid Brexiteer - reporting from his home in France
More pathetic is the notion that the tory voters would be happy to see a disgraced former PM come back to rally them! People are very fickle-minded!
He's been hiding, the best thing he could do for the Tories; can't believe they let him out for one day - maybe he escaped.
When is Andrew going to wake up and realise his job is a total waste of time
The BEST quote from The Simpsons was "I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas"
Boris was partying while people died disgusting man and party who supported him all the way.
I see Scummy Andrew Neil leaning into that Supermajority phrase again. And not getting pulled up on it.
I see the word palpably being used a lot now adays.A year ago never heard the word used at all.
Boris must have smelt awful
You'd think he would (Boris) keep his trap shut and let people think he is an idiot, rather than open it and remove all doubt!
Andrew Neil is totally aware that "super majority" means nothing in our political system. Using the term demonstrates exactly where he stands. But, that should surprise no one.
Andrew Neill has always been a Tory.
I think you've missed his point, which is a valid one: Labour could win 70% of the seats on barely more than 30% of the vote. There's clearly something wrong with the voting system.
@@rad4924 I bet he didn't think it was a problem when the Tories were constantly benefiting from this system.
@@rad4924 No, I didn't miss that point. I just totally missed him calling that out when the Tories won a ridiculously unfair majority.

He was just a EU hater, he's done. his politics is done. List his so called achievements, ruined his party, by having party's
Bojo bears a gigantic responsibility, among others including the econonocally disastrous Liz Truss, for the plunge of the Conservative Party's image. He was a disgrace to the nation in general and utterly so via the Partygate scandal in particular. Sunak shows sheer desperation on stilts in hauling in his former boss to help out at the campaign at the 11th hour. As for Sunak, who's done a decent job as PM., he shamed himself and the country by leaving the D‐Day commemoration proceedings; indelibly memorable.

So now the Tories are saying ' yeah we gonna lose' but make us feel better about it by voting a for few of us?.... umm no-your government has been worse than in ineffective.
Wouldn't trust Johnson with a pair of scissors.
Boris is valued by the Tories for his ability to get the uninformed to believe the impossible.
Sounds like trump
Surely he just reminds everyone how we were taken for a ride. Johnson should keep out of sight if he cares about the tory party.
A final speech by the man who poisoned the Tory Party is truly poetic justice!
Their continuing infatuation of him when all is lost is the sounding death knell of the Tory Party!
“The Tory Party is dead - Long live the Reform UK Party”?
If Bojo wants to help the Tories, the best thing he could do would be to emigrate.

@@neelamacwan7670 No we don't.
"How winning a huge majority is terrible for Labour..."

Johnson was "missing in action in this campaign". The lounge lizard was missing in action when he was PM.
The return of Johnson, the pathological and compulsive liar. Sunak learned well from him.
The one thing that MUST happen is the abolition of FPTP , it hasn't given us democracy for at least 3o years! We need a PR STV system to make votes count.
I thought it was a glove puppet, with Rishy’s hand rammed up!!!!!!!!
Yes, we've had no Tory literature nor any Tory canvassing. Loads of Labour visits and pamphlets in contrast. It's as if the Tories were caught off guard the most by their own election calling.
Andrew Neil is sitting in front of a large painted portrait of...err...Andrew Neil. I find this very telling!
HE IS HOPING HE WILL GET INVITED TO LEAD THE TORY AGAIN ARE THEY THAT CRAZYY
Andrew Neil should know better than to peddle the narrative that Labour may get a supermajority.
It's not a thing for us; unlike the US.
The closest thing to a supermajority we have would be a 60-seat absolute majority.
... which no-one was screaming about being so awful when the Conservatives got that in 2019...
The guy has a painting of himself behind him..... what an odd bloke?
Does Andrew Neill still get jokes about Pamella Bordes?
There is literally no such thing as a 'super majority' in UK politics.
Boris has to comeback because when all is lost he knows all the best deals at the off license LOL
Did they go sunbathing on the same lobster
What's a super majority??? No need to Americanise this.
Tbh No 10 probably correctly deduced that Boris is about as popular as a positive gonorrhoea test so kept him away for as long as their bribes would last

Well, that may have reduced the few remaining die-hards enough to have ended the Party. It only takes a percent or two to reduce the estimated 50-odd seats tozero, as many of us hope.
I can't think of a politician who's impressed me in the current campaign. Do we still have politicians of note? I can't find them in either party.
At least Andrew Neil has one redeeming feature: he writes with a Lamy. Good man.
My favourite Homer Simpson quote - Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand - which probably sums up the public's opinion of the whole election and the options being presented to them.
It's time the Tories went "Out, Out" as Micky Flanagan would say 😂
Two parties, endless division. We need diverse representation to truly reflect our nation and foster real compromise and progress. Time for a change 💪
No one mentioning that loads of postal votes still not delivered
Johnson, primary architect in the distrust of the Torys
Once again, Britain will finds ourself with a government that receives only 40% or less of total votes cast Most British people have voted against the government "in power" since the 1930s.
In 2024, Labour will likely win a huge majority of seats in Parliament while receiving the fewest votes ever for the governing party since the war
Stop being bitter,there the results and accept it.
There used to be campaigners who went around door to door. I wanted the SNP to come round so I could tell them what I think. They’re cowards.
