That turkey is entertaining, but he has to go.

The only problem is, that there is no one qualified to replace him. 8)

IMO, Boris Johnson is the UK's version of "Pumpkin" Trump.

I wonder who the fairy godmother is, keeping him at the ball well past midnight ...

Honestly though, I think it's time for him to go. He's made too many mistakes as prime minister IMO, and it looks like he's hurting the other Tory MPs in local elections. I think there's another by-election this month for two parliamentary seats. Polls aren't looking good for the Tory candidates there, so maybe having the confidence vote now was a good idea.

Also, what's this I hear about Johnson wanting to switch back to imperial units of measurement? He doesn't mean to fully phase out metric units, does he?
