Boris: Resigns That's It.

Boris Caused His Own Down Fall.

Ex-Prime Minister and MP: Boris Johnson.

Who would have thought that the career of one the most controversial MPs would have ended like this? Boris Johnson the MP for Uxbridge (or should I say ex-MP) was someone you either loved or loathed. Boris's greatest triumph perhaps was when he won a landslide in 2019. However, had it not been for the issue of Breixt would Boris have won? Or indeed, have an 80-seat majority in parliament?

Boris always saw himself as another Churchill. Perhaps during lockdown, he probably thought it was his 'finest hour'. However, now Boris is resigning from politics (Probably forever) he will never get the chance to ape his hero. That is coming back as Tory leader and being Prime Minister again.

Boris has been the maker of his destruction. Boris is a serial fornicator, a liar, and a fantasist, with endless offspring. Boris fell foul of two sitting Conservative leaders. One time with Michael Howard when he insulted Liverpool people. He was forced to apologise by Howard and left his job in the shadow cabinet. He fell foul of Theresa May when he served as Foreign Secretary. Again he left the cabinet. And he became Prime Minister when May stepped down.

Boris told others to isolate and not gather during the lockdown. When he was holding parties in 10 Downing Street and in Whitehall. He was found to have lied and was fined for breaking lockdown rules. Now Boris has jumped before he is pushed. He has resigned with immediate effect as an MP for Uxbridge. In a thousand-worded statement, he took potshots at current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. He also attacked the committee looking into the antics of his administration during the lockdown.

Labelling the Privileges Committee as a "witch hunt" (like Trump) and a "kangaroo court. Boris knows there is something coming down the track that would have ultimately finished him as an MP. The Privileges Committee will sum up on Monday their findings. A report or statement will be released about the findings of the committee. Or so a spokesman for the committee has said.

Also resigning their seat on the heels of Boris is Nadine Dorries. Dorries served in Boris' administration. She is a good friend and confidant of the former Prime Minister. So Sunak among all the other headaches he has will now face two by-elections.

Sir Keir feels confident that both Johnson's seat and Dorries' seat will fall to Labour. If so, this will be another milestone to show Labour is set for government. Labour enjoys a wide lead over the Conservatives according to polls. Labour did well in the local elections with the Tories losing 1000 seats. If this had been a general election Labour would have stormed into government. Sir Keir would replace Wishy-Washy Sunak as the next occupant of 10 Downing Street.

Some of the things that Boris said were offensive to some. While others felt he was speaking out loud what they were thinking. Calling black children in Africa 'picker ninnies with watermelon smiles". Or that Muslim women wearing head coverings (with just their eyes visible via a slit) looked like letter boxes.

Boris's time in power is similar to Trump's in America. A time of controversy and upset for many. The difference between Trump and Boris is that Trump is running again for President. However, Trump will be appearing in court over misdemeanours of his own. This may or may not stop the 'orange one' from running. What will Boris do now he has resigned as an MP?

Probably find a job on GB News as a presenter. Much the same way as that other controversial characters like Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg have.
