Johnson has been re-selected to stand for Uxbridge and South Ruislip at next GE.

... for fear of finding something worse? . . .

Politics aside, I am at a loss to understand why ANY party, of whatever persuasion, would select this man as a potential parliamentary candidate. I will refrain for listing his many repeated transgressions, and from providing a list of his unsavoury personality traits, as these are sadly a matter of public record, the last of which we have yet to see. Still more dirt to be dished here, I am sure. Johnson... please just go.

Maybe they really like him there.

I agree NanaDana, politics aside, it is difficult to understand this man's attraction. It could be that they have just gone through the motions with the possibility that he could be found guilty by the Parliamentary Standards Commission when facing them over the alleged breaking of lockdown regulations. If he is sentenced to in excess of 10 days suspension from Parliament, he can be recalled by his constituency party.

It says it all really about the other candidates.

oh please save us from this ghastly man..

If they do it's certainly not for the assiduous work he puts in on behalf of his constituents.

It does not surprise me that Tory activists would reselect BoJo when they have already provided evidence of their discriminatory powers by voting in Truss.

No, LadyHonoriaDedlock it certainly isn't!

They can’t find a safe seat for him can they. My dream is for Lord Buckethead to beat him in the election…..

Oh that made me giggle MayBee70 - Y E S

He's been trying to get back into Henley but the current MP does not want to go.

The referendum vote in his constituency was 57.2% in favour of Leave. I haven't been able to find out what the percentage is now. But, according to a UK Gov poll last May, Uxbridge is one of the seats predicted to change to Labour.

He renounced his peerage, apparently, as he wants to do away with the Lords.

He stated that he is now Count Binface

But, of course, a Count is still a Lord, your Lordship 😀

I don't think we have Counts in our peerage. The equivalent is an Earl

So I don't think Count Binface is in danger of being abolished 😄

Make Up Your Own Caption time!
(There are some cracking posts on this thread )

Nowt as queer as the Tories! Can’t understand why they’ve backed him again - perhaps even the true blues now want to lose.

I assume it is because they think he is an electoral asset.

Over the last 10 years, DD has made money on betting the Conservatives will be returned at each General Election and currently she thinks they will get back next time as well.

I know the result most people on here want, but we do not always get what we want, so do not start counting your chickens too soon.

Does your DD have sound evidence for her prediction, MOnica? Or has she just made lucky guesses (though as she's your child I would doubt if the latter were true )?

Yes, they're known as Earls but their wives are known as Countesses although some women are Countesses in their own right.

Complicated isn't it!

When is an Earl not an Earl?
When she's a Countess.

Oooh, I feel a bet coming on😁I could use the money.

Depends on how Boris gets on this Wednesday, he may be out on his ear.
Saw a pic of him this morning ‘leaving his home’, in a shirt and suit, no tie, suit rumpled and mud stained on jacket and very muddy on trousers and shoes.How can he leave home in that state?

He was in a much worse state when he left Russian Oligarch Lebedev's mansion in Italy, when Foreign Secretary. Barely could walk and couldn't put a sentence together. My guess is that he has been blackmailed ever since, the reason he appointed Lebedev, linked to the KGB, to the Lords.

Now THAT is truly worrying.
