17 tweets that perfectly capture what the nation thinks of Boris Johnson as our next PM
No sooner had Theresa May finally announced her resignation today than thoughts immediately turned to who was likely to replace her.
And one name loomed larger than any other – Boris Johnson. And these 17 tweets perfectly capture what (most) of us thought about that.

It is, when you stand back, utterly staggering that Boris Johnson is probably about to become PM despite his risible performance as foreign secretary, his behavioural and moral turpitude, his complete lack of interest in ideas, his flagrant narcissism. It is astonishing.

Boris Johnson, Andrea Leadsom, Esther McVey, Steve Baker, Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove, Liz Truss, Sajid Javid and Dominic Raab (among others) all mentioned as the possible next Prime Minister.
It's like a political Grand National but where you're rooting for the fences.

Brexit latest: the EU will suddenly jettison three years of consistency & clarity because of Boris Johnson's diplomatic skills.

Theresa May going, only to be replaced by Boris Johnson, is the hollowest of victories. Like being happy you're no longer constipated because you've got the shits.
