meregreen Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 The Parties were indefensible . But the real resigning issue here, is his continual lying to Parliament. We simply cannot have a Prime Minister who does this on such an industrial scale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) It’ll be interesting what the question is. Several Tory MP’s have said he should be allowed to get on with the job, but that doesn’t mean they don’t think he lied to them. If they are asked outright if he lied they have to confirm whether they think he’s a liar or an idiot. Edited April 19, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be. It's whether the Procedure and Privileges Committee should be asked to make a judgement. They can easily just go with "we don't think this a matter that needs to be looked at".

If MP’s are asked (as per the tweet) “do you believe Boris Johnson misled the commons over Downing Street parties” then they have to choose between liar or moron. If they are asked whether it needs to be referred for investigation they can (and probably will) say no. Edited April 19, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're not going to be asked that. They're going to be asked whether the matter should be looked at by the committee with the (hypothetical) power to censure him. And the Commons will vote "no, it shouldn't". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted April 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Does this vote only concern the fine he has received so far? What happens if the tories vote in his favour, then next week he’s fined again (and again) or there’s a picture of him wearing a party hat, booze in hand, ABBA LP in the background with his other hand helpfully pointing to a calendar at the correct date? Do they have another vote? Edited April 19, 2022 by Mark Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have another vote? I don’t think it’s about the fine directly, just about his general conduct in the commons and about being honest and transparent. If he gets away with a vote this week then more keeps coming out of the woodwork then it’ll make him and everyone backing him look even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll still be stating this absolute horse crap when we're in a full blown recession. It'll be someone else's fault, like always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is horrible, she and the other cronies that sit at the top table are the worst in my lifetime, they are beyond repulsive and some of them are bloody evil in my opinion. I would absolutely destroy the b***h if I could get in the same room as her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
