Yes , but at least it's a slightly more of a dignified transition than what is going on with the other side  

   As dignified as he can be having realised he's got the result he didn't really want and doesn't want to go down in history as being the guy who pulled the trigger on the Brexit disaster and has now been stabbed in the back by the guy who already stabbed his own mate in the back to help him try to nick his job.    Who says karma only gets you in the next life.   Yes, though, slightly more dignified than what the Labour MPs are doing to Jezza.

I meant the transition as a whole  , not just Boris per se

It seems to me that both sides are forgetting to draw their guns before shooting themselves in theirs feet

So far the only person coming out of the whole shenanigans with any air of doing what he feels is right for anyone other than himself is Jeremy Corbyn.  Can't be easy sticking to his guns when everybody (except the people who elected him) seems to hate him.

I think there is a danger that  one persons * sticking to his guns * can also be seen as another persons *just plain awkward* . Whatever the rights and wrongs of it ....once the dust settles ....he  does have to take his MPs with him if he ever wants to lead the country .  But he was never going to get my vote , so ...... 

Department of utter joy!!

On the radio this morning our hapless MP pledged his support for Boris!

one less wanker in the frame

I went off House of Cards for being too far fetched  and frankly bonkers 

I take it all back now! 

What if Boris is playing the long game  ie sitting out the chaos until whatever hapless sod makes an [ inevitable ] mess of things as next P.M.? Then he'll offer his services?

I get them all mixed up  Is Theresa May the one who had the seccsy shoes?

 Yes

With friends like Gove .....

the reason why Boris isn't standing is because good old Rup doesn't like him 

I saw the original when it was leaked...

email that was leaked.

“Very important that we focus on the individual obstacles and thoroughly overcome them before moving to the next. I really think Michael needs to have a Henry or a Beth with him for this morning’s crucial meetings.

“One simple message: you MUST have SPECIFIC from Boris OTHERWISE you cannot guarantee your support. The details can be worked out later on, but without that you have no leverage.

“Crucially, the membership will not have the necessary reassurance to back Boris, neither will Dacre/Murdoch, who instinctively dislike Boris but trust your ability enough to support a Boris Gove ticket.

“Do not concede any ground. Be your stubborn best.

“GOOD LUCK.”

Doesn't Gove's wife work for the Mail?

There's been so much back-stabbing and falling on swords going on that the House of Commons cleaners are going to have one hell of a job getting the blood out of the Axminster
