As if there isn't enough evidence that Johnson is unfit for office

Stephen Barclay is appointed the new Chief of Staff at Number 10.

ERG moving in.

Remember Barclay?

He was the Tory MP who voted against the Brexit legislation he proposed within the following hour?.

This is traditionally a roll filled by the civil service. If the other rolls are filled by Tory MPs it will be like a coup.

Is the legal?

Chief of staff to the leader of a major country is a definitional 7 day a week job. It is simply not compatible with constituency service or duties and votes in parliament. To do it properly and seriously he would have to resign as an MP. What is Boris Johnson thinking?

Steve Barclay MP as Chief of Staff? Does he resign as an MP? Or is he answerable to Parliament? I can think of no democracy where the chief of staff can also be in the legislature.

Johnson has just hired a presenter who was fired from GB News as his No 10 Communications Director.

This is not satire.

So Johnson is politicising the civil service role.

He is grabbing power.

This is not good is it?

Wikipedia and other sources say Guto Harri he was suspended by GB news for taking the knee and he subsequently resigned.

Surely as far as Barclay is concerned, it is a conflict of interest.

How can this be allowed legally, I just don’t understand it.

I know Barclay is really dim, but it is worrying.

Tbh the more I think about it, the more it becomes obvious that it is yet another disaster in the making.

Long May it continue and long May Johnson continue in the role as it can only be a disaster for the Tory party.

Whitewave I agree with your second sentence - they've been my thoughts for a long time. However, it's getting so bad now that I dread to think how much harm he cause before he finally goes, taking the rest of them with him if possible.

Perhaps he will resign as a MP

This is Boris Johnson. What’s the law got to do with it….

He is just like his friend Donald Trump
A power mad self deluded liar

Thank you, Lucca ?

Following Trump, will Johnson leave gracefully when he required to step down?

Will he ever leave!??

Johnson now saying ‘You’ll need a tank division to drag me out of Downing Street’. That’ll be interesting.

Johnson’s very own January 6th.

Thank goodness we don’t have the proud boys in the U.K.

Now that is something I am looking forward to see.

Did trump leave gracefully? I don’t think so. He still believes the election was stolen from him. Mrs trump didn’t invite the new First Lady to the White House for tea. They didn’t attend the inauguration. An absolute shower.
