Johnson on the Brink But Clings On After Resignations

Boris Johnson is digging in as UK prime minister, after the resignation of two of the most senior members of his government brought his premiership to the brink. The prime minister appointed Nadhim Zahawi as his new Chancellor of the Exchequer, replacing Rishi Sunak, while Steve Barclay takes Sajid Javid's former role as health secretary. Lizzy Burden reports from Downing Street on Bloomberg Television.

"So nobody is ever held accountable?" - the people

[Fyawtfc]

The way he apologized is like shameless lying u can see how uncomfortable he is, guess who is laughing now? The guy without shirt

[gregorymillerMUSICFORMEMORYS]

He mishandled the entire incident, then lied about it, like " All Politicians Do " . He should resign Immediately . The British have to put their Country 1st, not Politics or their Embarrassment .🐓👎

He can’t handle power, he abused it ….get them out of there….!

[ScaryGarrySG]

Both Boris and those who resigned are sorely mistaken if they think they can walk away after running with the biggest psyop ever pulled in mankind. Make sure ALL of them understand this.

Prime Minister of the UK and you can't afford a comb???

[anthonyshannon]

Jesus this man lies and apologizes day after day. Smh

[stefanfrankel]

"I just want to make absolutely clear that a comb and I have never crossed paths."

[alexandrawhitelock]

Somehow this seems oddly comforting to this American as we too are on the brink of a civil war…🙏

[moboutmen]

"I'm sorry" can only work so many times in the Theatre of Politics. Wave bye bye.

Boris and Biden --, what a mess you have made of the World

[lwzfog]

Sir Alistair Graham, the former Chair of the Commission for Standards in Public Life, regarding Zahawi’s dubious extra curricular activities -
“It is disturbing that two experienced members of Parliament [Rory Stewart was also a Chair] did not see fit to declare their active membership of Le Cercle at the time they were a member of a key select committee, the functions of which clearly overlapped with the discussions of Le Cercle, which is a shadowy body which concerns itself with foreign affairs”.

Megalomaniac narcissists - Somewhere in that one narrow-track mind is the constant "Only I can do it."

[bonnielassie]

In "hindsight " it was the wrong thing to do? How about not lie politician! Wrong time in thr worlds timeline to play

[midlander]

If Labour actually put the interests of labourers first and foremost, the UK wouldn't have this problem.

[ijvgxqr]

Oh well, if anyone abusing a position of power were cast out - who would be left?!! Putin? Trump? Johnson? Anybody? Anybody?

[igregmart]

BJ reminds me of the RINOs here in the USA.

[moxymaxx]

No room for any one Johnson to abuse their power, no one.

[markmagnolia]

Its not hindsight when you get exposed

Next UK Prime Minister Sir Boris Johnson.
