It still might not be enough anyway depending on the final situation in Northern Ireland. Only one Northern Ireland Party doesn’t take their seats and they’re on course to lose seats. It’s going to be interesting on how that one pans out as it will ultimately effect the number of seats the Tories need to form a government.Probably, but I think Boris might lose his seat. Only 5k majority.

Eleventy.How many stone ages were there?
Boris showed no respect for Churchills name hiding away from interviews and scrutiny, and the way he Churchills own treated his flesh and blood chucking Sir Nicholas Soames out the party.Show some respect on Churchill’s name, how embarrassing
Blimey! I was going to vote labour, but might vote Boris now.Boris on women.
In 2005, while campaigning to be elected as a Conservative MP, Johnson said: "voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts".
In 2012, while hosting the London Olympics as mayor, Johnson told his readers of the "magnificent" experience of watching "semi-naked women playing beach volleyball ... glistening like wet otters."

I don't buy this thing that you have to vote or it is your civic duty to.
It's like saying in every dictatorship there has to be a dictator and you need to vote for one,
Politicians etc now take turnout as a measurement of success for their policies and time in office.
If you don't like what is on offer in an election then just don't vote.
how about a space where you can enter your preferred/suggested alternative candidate - i.e. add the name of anyone you want to be your MPBut spoiling your ballot isn't enough - like turnout spoiled ballots can be for a number of reasons rather than deliberate. It needs a "none of the above" option to really get a chance to show disaffection.

Everything he says is rightMight have known you follow that dickhead
I'd go for compulsory voting with a 'none of the above' option.Compulsory voting no. Opt out voting yes.
How many seats does every rekon boris will get with his majority then?
To quote a Malcolm Tucker phrase: My left bollock with a smiley face attached to it would be better then some of the candidates for Coventry's next MPs.
Everything he says is right wing
Sultana, the Labour candidate in Coventry South, being a case in point. On Tuesday she was stood outside Willenhall Primary School heckling parents as they left saying the school would close if they didn't vote Labour on Thursday. Imagine someone as honourable as Cunningham doing that.
This candidate has a very murky past, and that she was parachuted in over local candidates is a disgrace.
Boris on women.
In a farewell piece in the Spectator marking his exit as editor, Johnson advised his successor that way to deal with a woman colleague giving you advice is to “just pat her on the bottom and send her on her way”.
Reporting for the Telegraph in 1996 he wrote an article about the Labour conference in Blackpool, which he devoted to reviewing the quality of “the hot totty” delegates who were present. He wrote: "time and again the 'Tottymeter' has gone off as a young woman delegate mounts the rostrum."
Johnson allegedly had a calendar of naked women on his desk while working at the Telegraph, despite complaints from women colleagues.
In 2005, while campaigning to be elected as a Conservative MP, Johnson said: "voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts".
In 2012, while hosting the London Olympics as mayor, Johnson told his readers of the "magnificent" experience of watching "semi-naked women playing beach volleyball ... glistening like wet otters."
Boris on LGBT+ people.
Johnson famously described gay men as “tank topped bum boys”.
In his book Friends, Voters, Countrymen, published in 2001, Johnson wrote: “If gay marriage was OK – and I was uncertain on the issue – then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men, or indeed three men and a dog.”
Johnson once attacked Labour’s opposition to Section 28, writing:
"Labour's appalling agenda, encouraging the teaching of homosexuality in schools, and all the rest of it."
While he was Mayor of London, he spoke about gay men taking their husbands “up the Arcelor,” a reference to the Arcelor Mittal observation tower in London’s Olympic Park.
When he became prime minister, Johnson faced a call to apologise from his own party’s LGBT+ group. He did not respond.
Boris on people of colour.
In 2002 in an article in the Telegraph Johnson described black people as “piccaninnies” with “watermelon smiles”.
In 2018 Boris Johnson compared Muslim women to “bank robbers” and “‘letter boxes”. Tell MAMA reported that these comments were directly linked to a 375 per cent rise in anti-Muslim hate crime.
In 2000, Johnson wrote that a "bunch of black kids" made him “turn a hair”, saying “if that is racial prejudice, then I am guilty”. He claimed Macpherson's reforms were "just as wrong" as Enoch Powell (the MP infamous for his racist 'rivers of blood' speech). He also claimed a key reform to let victims and third parties define if something is racist – now the national standard for prosecutors – was "Orwellian stuff" from the "PC brigade".
Writing for The Spectator in 2002, Johnson defended colonialism and advocated Britain reinstating control over colonies in Africa. He said “the problem is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge anymore." He wrote:
“The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty.”
In 2016 Boris Johnson said Barack Obama had an “ancestral dislike” of the British Empire. After Obama removed a bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval office, Johnson wrote a column in The Sun in which he claimed the move was “a symbol of the part-Kenyan president’s ancestral dislike of the British Empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.”
A really, really long list of awful things Boris Johnson has said about women, LGBT+ people and people of colour
