    The day he had his party while the country was following his orders. It was over for him and he knows it.

    Russia would love Boris as Secretary.
    Boris is a huge security risk. Look up his connections to Lebedev.

    He's a traitor.
    The Queen needs to address him as such.

    He left saying.. "Hasta La Vista Baby!" to Hint "He'll be Back!".. To get Tories to "Recall" it's members!

    "Yoooou Son of a Bitch!"

    We can only hope "They've not got them pushing too many pencils" 😂

    Turning the last minute or two of every video into an advertisement for Brilliant means that there is often no clear conclusion to the actual content, which is becoming very annoying.

  10. @jameschicken1008

    He won't be pm but I think onwards possible option is he is quietly given a government post of some form whether that be adviser or minister where he advises or us given specific brief. Ukraine maybe

  11. @JimmiAlli

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    In theory, Johnson could become US President since he was born there.

  12. @bjarnemcdonald6333

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    The English queen is old and he could take over after her…. Redecorating the palaces could be expensive

  13. @A.D.540

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    No he must not come back he made people angery , we don't need more protest in street their already enough protest over wage.

  14. @alexrichards5430

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    or he could run to be a mayor again?

  15. @rhysdavies872

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    Theresa May is said to be interested in the Secretary General of NATO role… if Boris makes moves for it she’ll surely want to beat him to it!

  16. @hayleyxyz

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    Johnson will never get the NATO job; he's just too much of a security risk

  17. @Taliesin800

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    Could Truss give Boris a cabinet position – deputy PM?

  18. @mauricemoore6679

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    ID DOESENT matter who wins they will only be there for 2 years next election they will be gone i will vote REFORM PARTY AND MILLIONS ARE LIKE ME so labour and tory corrupt party's are finished LETS HAVE CHANGE

  19. @michaelthomas5433

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    Why would he bother trying to stay? Liz Truss should be perfectly capable of continuing the dmg to the Union by herself.

  20. @dylanmurphy9389

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    A YouGov poll conducted for the Times found that Conservative party members still believe Boris Johnson would make a better prime minister than the two leadership contenders, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss. Asked who they thought would make the better prime minister, Truss leads Sunak by 58% to 29%. But throwing Johnson into the ring shows him winning, with 40% saying he would make the best PM, to Truss’s 28% and Sunak’s 23%.

  21. @samfarrow348

    December 31, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    I sense dictatorship in the air then
