I would absolutely love it if he was hoist by his own petard, but sadly I think his type always come up smelling of roses (not wishing to mix my metaphors)
I do take some small comfort from the fact that he ended up as PM in one of the worst times. It wasn't the piece of piss he imagined that it would be
Christ on a bendy bus son, don't be such a fucking faff arse
I don't see why Rishi Sunak would be any better. Wasn't he effectively appointed by Dominic Cummings? Every time we look forward to the demise of one PM we just end up with an even worse one.

He wouldn't. We're going to be punished for his "generosity", and be told to be grateful.

There aren't many (any) likely options though - he's seen as being more palatable to the nation than many but so is a diseased big toe.
Maybe George Osborn will make the comeback he threatened in a Times magazine article earlier this year. :pop:
Oh my god, you can just imagine that! Its like the time he was appointed as Foreign Secretary and someone pointed out that the only candidate less suitable would be Prince Philip

We appear to be a nation of stupid people, governed by greedy, selfish, stupid people. I don’t know how it feels to be kidnapped but that’s the analogy that springs to mind.
That's quite depressing but bears out my impression of the general unpreparedness of the majority of our UK suppliers, only 3 of whom have contacted us with any plan for customs clearance - which will need to be processed either by them or by us, regardless of any deal. Of those three, one has sent me a completely nonsensical email, claiming that there was no need to take any action immediately, as there would be a 6 month transition period from 1st January! Eh???
