No, he was rubbish. I know that Liz made him look great in comparison, but his government was still a bit of a mess.

Yep, we've apparently reached the stage where Wikipedia needs to disambiguate between the British government's annual crises.
Oh and despite making this thread as a joke, it's looking like Boris may actually be coming back. Ben Wallace (Defence Secretary) just said he'll probably vote for him.

When Boris resigned, he compared himself to a Roman Dictator called Cincinnatus in his resignation speech. This was signifcant, because Cincinnatus is famous for having willingly given up power as Dictator, only for the Roman Senate to later ask him to return. So the press seized upon this as a hint that Boris wanted to return to power.

At the time it was a funny detail, but now he's actually in with a shot. It wasn't supposed to come true...

He also signed off his last appearance at Prime Minister's Questions with "Hasta la vista" ("see you later"). He knew all along he'd be back.

Boris has been pretty bad, but I would rather he come back than Rishi. I think we'll be getting Rishi stuck in as he'll run unopposed, meaning we'll have a PM not elected by the public don't bring in that old, tired chestnut of "you vote for the party not PM wahhhhh" and not even elected by his own party. He'll be chosen only by out of touch MPs and Rishi is a billionaire who will screw the country up even worse than Boris or Truss. We need a general election but I doubt we'll get it until 2 years time under Rishi. I reckon Tory members will rip up their members cards if Rishi is put in unopposed and the Tories will be wiped out next election so that's a positive I guess.
