I'm just a girl, standing looking at a lectern, asking how many more times we've got to go through this shit.

This didn't sound like a man confident of getting anything "done"

Heckling, negative crowd reactions are Johnson’s kryptonite, they destroy his confidence and utterly negate his charisma, this is the key to finishing him.

People saying that speech was no different from Theresa May are being unfair. It was considerably shorter which improved the whole thing: https://t.co/n4CeRuwuqK

Boris Johnson, a man who has always been desperate to be popular, looked distinctly uncomfortable as he tried to focus on his speech despite the boos in the background. Good.

That was like the episode of The Thick of It where he planned a big announcement and then his policy was pulled but he has to give the talk anyway.

Shifty, pin-eyed fucker, isn't he? Looks genuinely rattled. That made Theresa May's lectern speeches look like the Gettysburg Address in comparison.

Author, James Felton, pointed out a similarity between Johnson’s speech and a certain familiar woman …not that one.
So he called a press conference just to say “nobody wants a general election”? Three years and all we’ve achieved is switching out May with Brenda from fucking Bristol.
