Boris Johnson will ‘run the country’ from Chequers and people aren’t having it

Since standing down as Tory leader and effectively becoming a caretaker prime minister, Johnson has made visits to a special forces base, flown in a Typhoon and met soldiers training their Ukrainian counterparts pic.twitter.com/OEZwF13Ku2

Johnson, who has been accused of presiding over a “zombie government” since he was ousted, has been on honeymoon in Slovenia and on holiday to Greece in the past month https://t.co/gKBaYQIWbB

For the final two weeks in office I will be dividing my time between doing fuck all at Downing Street and doing fuck all at Chequers.

Boris Johnson has moved out of no 10 to do his job as PM from Chequers so I am sure Jacob Rees Mogg will be leaving an angry note on his office desk

You mean 'party' at Chequers. He hasn't 'run the country ' for some time anyway. It's a shambles.https://t.co/nVgcL3ZAEy

Issues Facing The UK:
-biggest fall in wages on record
-highest inflation for 40 years
-imminent crisis due to soaring energy prices

My Action Plan:
-fly a plane, play soldiers, have a party, take two foreign holidays then get pissed at Chequers until asked to leave.

BREAKING: If anyone is concerned that Boris Johnson can no longer party at Downing Street since he moved out, I can confirm he is now partying at chequers and will be for the next 20 days x

It's official: Johnson's on perma-holiday for the rest of his time in office. https://t.co/YHZ5FPaeRD

I think we're supposed to think "from Chequers" is the news part of this headline, but at this point the real shocker is "to run country" pic.twitter.com/f0btkYnc1W

Can we please refer to Chequers by its correct name of Zombie HQ?

It’s day 212 & he’s now squatting at Chequers at our expense. The government is at a standstill whilst decisions need making. Our very democracy is at risk. I want a better country for my grandsons to grow up in. #ToriesOut48 #JohnsonOut212 #EnoughIsEnough #TorySewageParty pic.twitter.com/rUhpoNq1cx
